Pretty, Brutal and Gentle

Rating: 10/10 (5 October 2016)

The Flowers of War. The name of this movie is chosen perfectly. Several moments during the show, I was about to weep, to shout and cry along the girls. It is so touching. It is so beautiful. Another masterpiece of Zhang Yimou. It comes with beautiful visuals, pleasant musics. As the signature of Yimou, the colour and sound play very well in entire movie. The war scenes are so cruel, so brutal and horrible in terms of conveying and showing the nature of wars. The rape scenes are so so terrifying. And at the end, what you think is, shame on us, on all of humans that make the earth a very unsafe and horrible place for women and children. Thanks to all crew for making this excellent movie.
