My People, My Country

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.

I think it is a fantastic work ,all the people who lived in China knows that it is not easy during these years.Chinese people have a lighting future, come on ,go ahead.

Let just get this out of the way. I am not Chinese and I am not a student of Chinese history. While watching I can understand that it will invoke a lot of emotions to people who have lived through these events but for outsiders it will have less of an impact. This is unavoidable so bear that in mind when you go to watch it.

Now that being said, I rather enjoyed it. It is very well made with a lot of attention to detail. I've been told that the representation of the people and the way things were back then (clothes, TVs etc) are very accurate. So while we can get the nostalgia of it we can see more about China's history.

I am a bit confused as it mixes history with stories so it's hard to know how accurate it is. (for example the first story is about a real person while the second may or may not have happened)

Also as its seven stories in does feel a bit too rushed in character development. It is understable but for me makes it feel more forced than I would have liked.

Overall, I'd say watch it for the history and maybe it will make you interested enough to dig further yourself into China's history.

Things of note, I finally found a Chinese child actor I thought as great They have a story similar to capt marvel but done better

To sacrifice your love, family and everything, just to make the government LOOK GOOD even it's dirty and rotten inside? And this is something to be proud of and cry for? I honestly don't see the point here, but at least we can see how far someone can go after getting brainwashed. Probably nowadays only people from China and Northern Koreans will feel for this film.

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