Question: synopsis :
in this cultural exploration , a chinese american computer engineer named fang ( peter wang ) decides to take a month - long vacation to visit his sister mrs .
chao ( shen guanglan ) , her husband mr .
chao ( hy xiaoguang ) , and their teenage daughter lili ( li qinqin ) in beijing after 30 years of separation .
fang brings his asian american wife grace ( sharon iwai ) and his college - aged son paul ( kelvin han yee ) along , both of whom do n't speak chinese .
the encounter between the two families allows the audience to compare the eastern and western cultures as well as the ambitions of individual characters .
opinion : sometimes a film is plot driven .
sometimes it 's a character sketch .
a great wall ( 1986 ) can be called a culture sketch , as opposed to a character sketch because it gently compares a chinese american family to a beijing family .
fang 's family is thoroughly americanized .
fang is an upper middle class professional who enjoys jogging and argues with his boss .
his wife ca n't cook chinese .
his son has a white girlfriend and complains of racism when fang encourages him to befriend an asian girl .
meanwhile fang 's beijing sister advocates absolute loyalty to the ' work unit . '
her husband is a retired official who has heard rumors of american depravity ( homosexuals running the streets ) , and her daughter lili longs for american freedoms in a youth culture where studying for college entrance exams is the most important thing in life .
the two families spend a month slowly learning about each other .
there is no ultimate ' answer ' or final comprehensive understanding after the month - long vacation .
the film is neither here nor there ; it 's a neutral , meandering , gentle , portrait of life on both sides .

Answer: P

Question: full metal jacket , very much like every other hard - hitting film about the vietnam war , is an shocking , emotional depiction of the war that effected almost everyone in america .
this film is more like platoon than any other in the way that it chronicles the struggles of a young man ( private joker , played by matthew modine ) during his tour in the vietnam war .
however , full metal jacket gives the audience an insight into combat life very rarely seen before : boot camp .
these sequences are considered to be the best part in this three act film , even though i found the later portions to be equally stunning .
as in platoon , full metal jacket gets off to a quick start .
the opening sequence is the initiation for the recruits , which is getting their heads shaved .
from there , they find themselves standing at attention and receiving their orders from the extremely hard and punishing sergeant hartman , played extremely well by the former drill instructor r .
lee ermey .
apparently , the solution was found for the perfect man to play a drill instructor in the movies , because ermey depicts his character extremely well and will make you thank whomever that you were never subjected to such horrible situations .
private joker gets off on the wrong foot with the sergeant , as does the large bodied private leonard lawrence ( vincent d'onofrio ) , whom is dubbed ' gomer pyle ' by sgt . hartman .
the film is continually narrated by private joker , in which he explains his visions on what is going on .
the entire corps , although repeatedly hammered by sgt .
hartman , continues on .
private pyle , however , seems to be the rag doll for the drill instructor .
he continually absorbs the worst punishment and humiliation , and it basically does not stop .
that is , until sgt .
hartman comes up with a new plan .
he will punish the rest of the soon - to - be - marines for pyle 's goof - ups , even after joker was assigned to help him out in the best way he can .
pyle then receives punishment from his fellow recruits , and things take a turn for the worst .
pyle proves that not everyone is emotionally , physically , and mentally cut out for the life of a marine .
after graduation , joker is sent over to the height of the action in order to document the war , which is his service .
he is not a member of the infantry , and it is unclear if he will ever actually find himself in combat .
when he sets out on a documenting mission , this question becomes very clear from the start .
joker joins up with a platoon , along with his hometown friend cowboy ( arliss howard ) , and follows their everyday actions , interviewing and filmming them along the way .
he also soon finds himself in a position in which he must fight , or die .
again , as in the tradition of vietnam war films , full metal jacket can be debated as to whether it is an anti - war film or not .
a few of the more powerful scenes toward the end will leave you to decide .
full metal jacket succeeds extremely well in documenting the life of a young man in vietnam , as have others in the past .
this film , in different ways , also can be viewed as more powerful than others .
that , again , is up for debate and depends on your opinion .
one thing is for sure , however ; no one ever wants to experience the absolute hell that these soldiers are subjected to .
unfortunately , many did .

Answer: P

Question: romeo is bleeding wants to carry the unusual flavor of reservoir dogs or bad lieutenant .
with director peter medak , whose previous credits include the good films let him have it and the krays , and top - notch character actors gary oldman and lena olin , they seemed likely to be a successful combination .
those mentioned films , however , brought something to the screen that romeo is bleeding
did not : a solid , well - written screenplay .
call me cynical , but the jobs of writer and producer do n't seem to mix well .
gary oldman plays jack grimaldi , a good cop turned bad , selling information to the mob and cheating on his wife .
his cheating is obvious enough to obtain his nickname , although the name does n't provide any insight or analogy to the shakespearean character .
jack has become addicted to " feeding the hole " , a hole in the ground where he stores his payoff money .
when he realizes his colleagues are being shot , he feebly attempts to get out .
gary oldman 's performance is disappointingly weak ; he seems nearly bored .
in the process , he also gets tangled - up with mona demarkov , a russian mobsterette who wants to take over the territory from top boss falcone , played adequately by roy scheider .
demarkov , played by lena olin , is a tough but tremendously sexy woman with seemingly no problems maneuvering within the mob world .
this character is combination of both linda hamilton and arnold schwarznegger from terminator 2 .
i ca n't remember seeing a character quite like her .
after being shot , handcuffed , and thrown in the back seat of a car , she still manages to cause an accident , kick out the windshield with her legs , grab a suitcase full of money ( plus some important documentation ) , climb through the rubble , land on her shot leg , and still succeed at running for safety .
what a woman ! lena olin 's performance is the only glimmer in this dismal film .
anabella sciorra is wasted in her role as romeo 's wife .
there is little insight into her character .
she 's depressed , she makes obvious references , she mopes around the house .
juliette lewis , as romeo 's girlfriend , is treated with the same cliche attitudes , although ms .
lewis ' portrayal certainly did n't improve it .
both women were anything but sexy or attractive .
poorly developed characters aside , the screenplay also suffers from several logistical problems .
it is so discouraging to watch a film and want to shout at the main character ( not ) to do something .
for example , jack and his friends attend a funeral to hang in the background to scope - out the mob scene .
fine .
jack spots the big boss with his goons by the gravesite .
fine .
what does jack proceed to do ?
he brushes his friends off by telling them he is n't feeling well , then strolls over to the boss .
why ?
the boss had all ready threatened him ; falcone simply takes the opportunity to issue more threats by ordering his goons to take off some of jack 's toes by the gravesite .
i guess they were n't worried about any federal agents lingering around after the funeral . . .
.
or here 's another : demarkov set - up her own death by cutting off her arm with a circular saw .
she proceeded to set the place on fire .
would n't the flames burn off the fingerprints ?
are n't dental records more important ?
as bright and resourceful as she was supposed to be , could n't she come up with a better plot ?
( and it took her no time at all to get a good - fitting , functional prosthesis . ) lack of attention to detail
certainly adds up in a film .
this film does n't even add up the large details .
there is little or no consistency in the story - line .
not much makes sense .
the direction lacks cohesion , surprising from a director whose previous credits are impeccable .
the moods shift , the styles shift , and no one can seem to decide if it is a serious film or satire of one .
so while it certainly is n't reservoir dogs , it certainly is n't diva .
there 's plenty more to tear apart in this film .
my advice to someone who has n't seen it to to wait until it comes on video .
there are some quotable lines that would provide a campy evening if not taken seriously .
it 's not a boring film ,
just not a good one . or an intelligent one .
