this chinese movie make me feel so many similarity with member of a culture i do not belong and be far from . in an almost buddhist approach and the film help one to relate to each character and and to the happiness of do the simple routine thing . all actor be brilliant and and xu hzu exudes kindness and wisdom and yet also vulnerable and mean . er min and the retarded brother and show u that intelligence and wisdom be not equal and and that wisdom come to and from the most disparate person in this universe . a different china and this be far from the chinese realism and yet and it have lot of humanity and realism of a different kind . get it . you would not be disappoint .
