    Pointless movie

    It's not about political view Although I'm a Chinese After watching this movie, I can't learn anything but I only feel confused.

    A lot of people beside me also claimed that they couldn't understand the movie after coming out from the cinema.

    Bad movie.

    Insanely based, as the other two said.

    I've cried a bit on some scenes and find myself smiling every time The Internationale came in.

    (Just rated 9, 'cause if i give full 10, the IMDb system will ignore it)

    Like the other guy said, it's based.

    Based, and of course, Chinapilled.

    10/10 for sure.

    Based Movie tho

    The most based movie ever made. Really opened my eyes. You need to watch this movie to learn more about China today. 10/10 is not enough though. Seriously.

    Entertaining

    This film is not for people who want to understand the history. But if you have some knowlege on recent history of China, this movie is entertaining.
