People thrown into an unexpected and desperate situation discover their capacity for love and responsibility. A young Englishman, George Hogg, comes to lead sixty orphaned boys on a journey of over 500 perilous miles across the snow-bound Liu Pan Shan mountains to safety on the edge of the Mongolian desert. And how, in doing so, he comes to understand the meaning of courage. During his journey, Hogg learns to rely on the support of Chen, the leader of a Chinese communist partisan group who becomes his closest friend. He soon finds himself falling in love with Lee, a recklessly brave Australian nurse whom war has turned into an unsentimental healer on horseback. Along the way Hogg befriends Madame Wang, an aristocratic survivor who has also been displaced by war, who helps the young Englishman, his friends and their sixty war orphans make their way across mountain and desert regions to a place of safety near the western end of the Great Wall of China.
Leave your thoughts about The Children of Huang Shi.
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerIt radiates intelligence. Of how many historical epics can that be said these days? |
| H MagazineTodd Gilchrist...the film falls flat under the weight of its period-drama conventions and three performances that epitomize paycheck joylessness. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussIts anti-cynical faith in the value of altruism is encouraging. |
| Toronto StarPhilip MarchandIt's a compelling story, with only a few jarring notes. |
| Ebert & RoeperRichard RoeperThere's a documentary on this very subject that's much better. |
| The A.V. ClubTasha RobinsonIt's a polished, beautifully shot story, and it acknowledges the messiness of real life. But like real life, it's often baffling and frustrating. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerWhat Spottiswoode lacks in subtlety and restraint, he balances with a heartfelt passion for the material. |
| Palo Alto WeeklyJeanne AufmuthAn ill-conceived weeper that just won't say die. |
| PopMattersBill GibronThe Children of Huang Shi is so desperate to be the Asian Schindler's List, an example of atrocity draped in abject artistry, that it forgets to lay out the context. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxThis formulaic adventure pays tribute to George Hogg, a true hero largely forgotten everywhere but China, where a statue of him now stands -- a rare honor for a westerner. |
