but ignore those last three negative review . i find this movie delightful but i like poignant movie with happy ending and and great music . don not forget the music . it be lovely . this be no ordinary movie . it too bad that there be no rating for the music too since the music by jiping zhao be outstanding . it would be a great movie for the whole family to watch . it be a heart warm story but not mushy since the story be fictional and sort of like mulan which be base on fiction but have it twist and turn and poignant moment also . i love it . i watch it month ago and think about it and actually rent it from the public library and watch it again . i be so involved in just the story the first time i forget how beautiful the musical score be . check it out american . you might learn something about our chinese neighbor . seriously and it good for you . then go watch the taste of tea . you will become a fan of asian movie too . then go check out wong kar wai and see some more real genius .
