Audience Member "Pan-ni-xi-lin!?" "Pan-ni-xi-lin!" All joking aside, this is a lovely film, a real Chinese classic. Thanks to Jason and everyone who helped bring it to the big screen at the Walker. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member The best movie about China in 1949, the day before CCP took over the mainland. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Hands down the worst viewing experience I've ever had. To call the subtitles on this film bad would be the understatement of the millennium. I think had you put the Chinese into Babelfish and had it spit out English it would've been better than the subtitles included. On top of not knowing what was going on, the professor would stop the film periodically to explain what was going on, effectively doubling the runtime of the film. Or I assume, I dunno since I left like halfway through. The image quality was horrible and, as far as I could tell, nothing of interest was going on visually. The story was of the anti-nationalist variety due to Mao just having seized power from Chiang Kai-Shek. I imagine I would've given this film, at best, a 2 out of 5 had I known what was going on.
