Review of Beijing Bicycle (2001) by Sabrina T — 23 Apr 2008
East Asian films (the drama ones) just don't got a lot of dialogue in them. For some, this may bore them. To tell you the truth, I get bored myself sometimes, but I could definitely watch through it if it were worth it.
This one is. Simple story of 2 boys sharing the same bicycle, in an unconventional way really. But, damn it, I got hooked to it emotionally. That last scene, even if I sped it up a bit (which I usually do, if I find the pace too slow, or I'm pressed for time.) really really got me depressed! gaah!
I pitied guei too much, I wanted to punch him myself and scream at him to stop being a pushover! but he has his naive country boy charms.
