Hou lai de wo men

This movie is so good to be true. The movie itself beautifully captured every single scene, emotion inside and it described how realistic the relationship can be. Both of main characters did an excellent job on how they captured their character's relationship, journey and story into something that incredibly wonderful and beautiful.

This is an emotional feast. This is the first time I've watched a Chinese movie with subtitles (don't settle for the english dubbed version) so I'm sure some cultural nuances were missed but the human story spoke volumes. It is a slow unpacking of a relationship over many years but it is worth the journey. The acting is superb. The premise is poignant. It's themes are enduring. The music was beautiful. The inserts while the credits roll sum unpack the whole movie in a beautiful way. - don't miss them. I give this film an 8 (great) out of 10. {Romantic Drama}. Available on Netflix as US AND THEM.

I have never felt so emotional watching a movie. One of the most breathtaking piece of work I have ever seen on romance. The very essence of a love that never dies is captured here.

This film is not only a romance drama; it is jam-packed with many other components. It discussed socioeconomic issues and how tough it is to put one's heart above one's job. The movie made my heart ache because it is so emotionally intense. Because I truly detest sad endings in romance dramas, I wouldn't give it such a high rating. I must admit that this is the most realistic love story drama movie I've seen so far.

This tale of love encompasses only the entire world immmediately surrounding Jing Boran and Zhou Dongyu and it is a tale that is raw, honest and so real. Woven around this story however is a Beijing so beautiful it will enrapture you. All its surrounding nature however only emphasises how lonely one can be in a big city. The story flits back and forth over about 8 years and as much as you see the couple as they are currently, their story from a few years ago seems to always have you rooting for them to succeed and embrace the love that so palpable you can reach out and touch it. It is a tough tale to tell and it is both personal and seemingly perpetually painful. There is a line in a letter that is read towards the end that says it is very difficult for two people to live together forever. If only it were not so often true.
