Review of Shadow Magic (2000) by Terry L — 28 Sep 2007

Thought this film was excellent! Very heartwarming indeed. The characters made the film. Liu portrayed a man who was always curious, he tried to be loyal to his culture, family and his job at the photography place but Raymond taught him he had to listen to his heart rather than what everyone else wanted him to do.

Lius relationship with Ling (the Lords daughter) was cute and innocent, and I felt bad for Liu everytime she would play hard to get. The film also reminds me of Fellinis Amarcord in terms of characterization (a huge abundance).

I recommend this film to viewers who can accept a heartfelt film.
