Did you watch The Way We Are?

Sun, 21 Jun 2009 10:28:15 -0500

Well, though I believe this Chinese forum was made for mainland China, I will suggest a movie from Hong Kong. The movie is called The Way We Are. It is about a typical life in a poor place in Hong Kong (Tian Shui Wei). The movie is not exaggerated and displays a very realistic and simple view of the life of the poor people in Hong Kong. It may bore you but I happen to love this movie. It's the simplicity and kindness that makes this movie touching. You'll see what I mean. Just watch it! I hope you'll like it.
