    The Children of Huang Shi

     by  katnne

    Extremely powerful and moving epic that reveals much about the horrors the Chinese endured before our entry into WW II. (Many do not realize that a large part of our eventual participation in the Pacific /Burma theatre was in support of the Chinese as they battled the Japanese occupation). Beautifully acted and the cinematography is magnificent. The sacrifice displayed by those whom had every excuse to stay out of a brutal and dangerous situation is inspiring. A small triumph for good in a world gone mad. One of the best films I have ever seen.

    This was a powerful movie with a strong cast. I found no flaws. It was wonderfully acted and beautifully filmed.

    Jonathan and cast were SINCERE & PHENOMENAL!

     by  sensationaljewelry

    I do not understand some of these reviews!

    This film was based on a TRUE STORY - it was well thought out, true to life - for those who didn't like it I feel simply wanted more a Fiction based film rather than this very realistic well thought out masterpiece

    As usual, Jonathan is deep, charismatic, intense and flawless in his character.

    I am unfamiliar with the other actor/actresses, however they too were fantastic!

    You have to be in the mood for a 'realistic life trauma and drama' otherwise, stay at home

    I loved this very moving film...

    A true story of life, trauma. war, scars, tears that children face of times of war & corruption

    My hat, dress, sunglasses and whatever else I have goes off to everyone in this cast for a fabulous, heartwarming true story!

    The Chiildren of Huang Chi

    This movie showed the life of a man (Joaquin Phoenix) who went into a war as a naive journalist and ended up showing those who needed him that he was a man with courage and heart.
