    It's a pity that Gong Huang and Manshen don't have a rivalry. At the peak of the two's careers, there was such a bad movie, Wang Ying can kneel...

    There are very deep thoughts about the return of Hong Kong, and the actors' performances are also very moving. The relationship between Hong Kong and the United Kingdom is well expressed, but the relationship between Hong Kong and the mainland is a little superficial. Although Gong Li's performance is great, the story was not written by the Chinese after all, and the result of course is superficial. Feeling that the metaphor-intensive shots are trivial is also the reason for the low score. 7...

    Four-star promotion for the beautiful Gong Li and Maggie Cheung, the lineup is unprecedentedly luxurious, but it is a pity that the two have no rivalry. The film is full of metaphors and political expressions, and also presents the "end times" atmosphere of Hong Kong in 1997.

    The Hong Kong movie on the eve of the reunification in the eyes of a British guy is unexpectedly textured. The British guy asked Gong Li, "Have you been waiting for Zhang to propose marriage all your life? You know there is no such day." This line made me jump to...
