i just saw this movie today with my child ( son and 10 and daughter and 4 . 5 ) at the 3rd annual roger ebert overlook film festival . after the film the child in the audience be allow to ask question to the director and tian ming wu . he ( through a translator ) tell several story about his life and the making of the film . all tangent aside and both of my child really enjoy this movie . of course and i have to paraphrase many of the subtitle for my daughter and but much of the film be visually self explanatory . i would not give anything away and but the bottom line be that this film be so much good than 95 % of the hollywood crap ( especially child film ) out there . cheer . p. s. there be a real or original king of mask who can or could do 12 mask at once . the actor in the movie train and learn to do up to 4 mask at a time ( then they would cut and change to 4 new mask ) .
