My People, My Country

I love this movie. I would give it a 9 star. 8 for the movie itself and 1 for my personal experience. This movie is nothing as I expected. I thought it would focus more on country but it is not. Just as the name says, MY PEOPLE MY COUNTRY. People comes before Country. I like how the film describes each story from an individual person's perspective and how those milestone occurred in China's growing process affect her people. You don't have to be an soldier or a scientist to contribute. There are lots you can do as an ordinary person. This film shows love between friends, families, partners and all different types of love build up to the love of the land, the country and the people.

Good, however not great. This film is sort of Chinese communism propaganda. It told the story of the Chinese people, but just some stories.

A well done film with a distinct slice of life, unsung heroes theme. Each piece is more of a glimpse into people who lived throughout various momentous periods in Chinese history, rather than especially focused around plot development. A little bit heavy handed with the patriotism theme, but that's to be expected considering the movie's purpose. Although in my opinion there were two standout stories, all seven pieces were interesting and distinct enough that time didn't drag on.

It is just a great movie for Chinese audiences. People held typical stereotype against communist party or Chinese people would never understand it. The first two stories are inspiring and touching. Stories in Beijing and Shanghai are also fun to watch. Ge You delivered high quality performance as usual with so much fun. Hong Kong piece is hard to act but not bad. I would rather give it a 9 score for this movie but Kaige Chen showed his father love to his son Feiyu Chen which made some scenes and performance awkward.

First off all I'm not Chinese, but I did enjoyed this movie very much. I should give 9 star for it, but the extra star is for the Chinese people. All the stories was very moving, except the last one. China has a great history and of course, they are proud for them country. It is not a propaganda movie, just make they citizens love China more and nothing wrong with that. If you looking for political propaganda, you should look in the mirror! This move made $300 million dollars in six days, but here , just shows $2 million profit "world wide?!". Why the Chinese gross isn't including the World? What is it, if not political propaganda against China. Also nobody mentioned, all the actors and directors made it for free. All the proceeds goes to the poor people and it is true, not BS! Think about, how great the people's are in China, how much they achieved in 70 years, started almost from nothing!
