I don’t know how to say it differently as I am using this line a lot lately. It is another wonderful Asian movie (Chinese movie to be precise). Very recently, I have been introduced to the outstanding universe of the dramatic movies of Asia. This one is no different. In fact, it is really a very remarkable movie.
Kudos to the director, Zhang Yimou, for directing such a wonderful and heart warming movie. It amazes me how the director has managed to direct such a movie. The script writer has done his homework very well. The theme of the movie is really a great one.
Moreover, I can’t help myself then to appreciate the actors of the movie. The lead role is played by Zhang Wei, a 13 year old girl. She as the assistant teacher is so impressive. The little kids in the movie are really natural. They are far from clean but very adorable. The naughtiness of Zhang Huike (the one responsible for making this story a great one) can easily be related to our childhood. How we used to disturb someone whom we can disturb. And then there is this little kid in the front row she is naughty as well as very adorable. You will just love her for her cuteness.
The whole movie revolves around Zhang Wie. She is an assistant teacher who was told not to lose any student of the school while she was in charge if she wanted the pay plus bonus. As luck would have it two of her students were gone. The first one taken by the sport instructor and the other one, Zhang Huike, went away to the city in search of the work. The assistant teacher went to look for Zhang Huike. The trial and tribulation of the teacher in searching for her missing student is beautifully portrait in the movie. In the end she found much more than Zhang Huike. The film ends in the happy note.
Another great thing about the movie is that it is an inspirational movie where it is shown that if you have the will then you could do it whatever the circumstances maybe. At first, the assistant teacher finds it very difficult to control her students. But due to her stubbornness as well as her kind effort she won the hearts of her students. She also walks to the city when she was push down from the bus when she continues to go after her student. In this scene we are shown the will of the assistant teacher just to find her student.
The cinema also scores in other front also besides the story. It is shoot in the rural setting. The lofty hill, the highway, the sand, etc. add to the beauty of the film. The school really look the part. It is a depilated building.
The students in the movie are really cute though they are not that clean. They really look the part. There is the small girl you will surely adore her. I think I am repeating here but what to do I can’t help myself.
All in all a wonderful film from a great country from the largest continent of the world. It should be watched and enjoyed by one and all.
