Leave your thoughts about Buddha Mountain.
| User ReviewA.D. Oa nice movie with low cost,less art-lenses but high quality actors and actress,especially Sylvia Chang,her acting really impressd me.Also,the buddha ending is prefect! |
| User ReviewCasey Feconomic bloom, 1 child policy, young migrate workers, exams, corruption, sichun earthquake...seems this movie is trying to tell everything of modern china, but i love it:) |
| User ReviewJessica Ctitle said it all. forget about the slice of life story... just enjoy the scenery... |
| User ReviewVaibhav WIndie film done right with the right amount of heart - characterizations perfect while the handheld camera adds its own charm |
| User ReviewErnest KI didn't believe any of the actors made contact with the feelings the characters were supposed to be feeling because everything comes off as an impression, rather than being anything of substance. I don't believe the director had a story to tell, as much as simply having a desire to make a film in this style. The hand-held camera-work didn't bother me, but the framing and composition of shots did. They seemed forced and almost precious, and the actors merely vogued their way through scenes. The story is uninspired. Three young drifters meet a single mom who is still mourning the death of her only son, and they all have an angst competition. That ought to be indie grill. But it's not in this case. It's just shots of people pensively staring off into space, and scenes of people pensively walking around aimlessly while the fog rolls by and the music meanders. Indie film school 101. It was very hard to finish this film because I didn't care about any of the characters. Caring about characters may not be necessary, although the director clearly hoped for it, so I'm going to make up a word to describe my experience and to differentiate it from simply not caring. I discared for the characters. |
