A drama directed by Chen Kaige.
A son of a whore is delivered to a theater troupe and as a child meets his "friend for life" who also plays one of the 2 leading roles in a classic opera with him. The pair go through hell training to be actors and during the 1940s as China fights the Japanese and has a revolution.
The audio was in Chinese and subtitles were included. The video is good, but lacks that "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" beauty.
check out: Dieyi plays a woman so often that he becomes a more effeminate man. In modern pop-culture terms, he looks "emo".
At 3 hours in length, this film sure whiled away the evening for me. I would also expect better from such a long film. This was pretty good, stuff happens, tough times are had by all. It's nothing to go questing for though.
