Hong shi zi

1) A KMT general who was fighting against Communist rebels all over the front lines would not have so much time to visit home to make babies like what we have seen in this movie. But what we saw is that this guy had so many kids that he couldn't even recognize them one by one. All these kids obviously were his and his wife's offspring.

2) This general's wife didn't look like a woman who had almost 10 kids by her own. Her physical condition was way too healthy and too young to have so many kids.

3) She was also the worst cast to play the mother role. Not only she didn't look like a women who had so many kids, there's no motherhood existed between her and her kids, they were like strangers. So she was the weakest and the worst cast in this movie.

4) When they escaped to Taiwan, there's no way the mother and the kids would have the privilege to move into a big house left by the Japanese. The allocation of the housing for the general and his family would not be possible to go through a civilian woman who welcomed them when they arrived.

5) One of the most ridiculous flaw in this movie is the accents of the kids, they all spoke Taiwanese Mandarin in 1949, instead of the mainland China Mandarin. Their accents among them were also so different from each other, so it just so ridiculous.

The reasons that stopped us to watch further were all listed above, but mainly because of the poor actress who played the mother and the unrealistic accents from the kids.

This is a terribly cast and scripted movie.
