Wo he wo de zu guo

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

If I'm not Chinese I would probably give it a one-star. Every plot is made to force people to feel emotional, even when the story is so undeveloped. There's tooooo much politics in this film. I get it, this is a big thing, we are a great country. But at the same time, this theme is so repetitive, I can literally write a commentary essay on this without watching the film.

It's really ironic how if you comment negatively about this movie on a Chinese website, and people go like "OMG are you even Chinese" "Well, this whole point is for us to remember the history, and know our own country well."

If so, why is the film so BADLY made??? Why is the theme so overused, I could guess the ending before the film actually ends.

A good intention, but a trash film.

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!

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.

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.
