So I completely love the work of Zhang Yimou. His visual aesthetic is flawless and he often uses 2 of my favorite actresses: Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi. I watched one today that has been one of my very favorite of his movies this far. It's called "Not One Less". This one didn't have Ziyi or Li in it but his main character was a 13 year old girl with amazing will and determination. I highly recommend it if you like Chinese movies with subtitles.
Also I went to get a book at the bookstore by an author I think I will really like, Lisa See, but have decided that Amazon will save me money. She's written a few but the one I want is called "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan". Imagine my excitement to find out that it's going to be made into a movie starring Zhang Ziyi and it will also be her second foray into directing! YAY!!!
Update to Trump Era Newcomers
Until I understand this EU Cookie law better I will leave Google's complimentary notice that this blog uses Blogger and Google cookies. These include Google Analytics and AdSense cookies.
Also, I feel that I should warn that this blog was started in the style of and in response to the toxic commentary of Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. I don't mince words and the people who cannot see common sense in my words or are deliberately uninformed may not like the way I express myself. I moderate comments because I have had stalkers that posted filth in response to my religion. I'm not afraid to post conflicting opinion comments but I filter threats and inappropriate language comments.
This comes in response to the Trump Era. May it be shorter than 4 years. =)
