Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism

LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

anboicheff I did enjoy some aspects of this movie. It was interesting to see the living conditions of Mongolia and see the farm animals and land. The story was also quite interesting. It intrigued me to see how different marriage was from the norms of the US. It was odd to see how open her current husband was to divorce and having her see other men. It was also interesting to see how men basically had to "audition" for the role of her husband. All she wanted was the best for her family, she had really great character, telling her suitors that they would have to help take care of her older ex-husband and not just abandon him behind. She still loves him, despite her getting a divorce from him. It was definitely a very difficult situation. Although the plot was so interesting, the movie was done in a way that made it feel dragged out and maybe even a little boring. Their was some excitement in the plot, but the movie failed to portray it.

fezhang-56830 This movie makes me think about myself: compare the living conditions between Mongolia and us, I definitely think I am lucky, and thanks to my family. In Mongolia, the child needs to do a lot of work that I did not even try before, and they are lacking water resource. Also, their transportation is poor. Tuya's Marriage also shows their attitude of living, they do not give up, they still want to stay at their home instead of going to the city. Tuya is a strong woman, his husband is paralytic, so she needs to take care of her family by herself; she goes thousands of miles to get water and depasture sheeps every day, even she has physical problems. She divorced her husband in order to give a better condition to her family, she says everyone wants to marry me needs also need to support her ex-husband. The favorite scene in this movie is her child had been trapped in a wolf attack, she comes and says" do not worry, if these wolves attack you, I will eat them and leave these sheep here, I am gonna take you home". On this movie, I see a great mom, wife and a hot heart person.

Pablo Overall I did not like this film too much. It reminded a lot of a film we watched in the first semester called Ixcanul, another one I found rather unenteraining. From what I can recall about the first one, both of them were about arranged marriage and both of them had rather little dialogue. They were both pretty quiet films and followed the life of farmers. These films have almost a documentary approach to them. As far as the cinematography goes, they resemble each other a lot in my mind. There were a lot of scenes that were just very zoomed out and captured a lot of the bleak landscape that their countries contained. I can't remember much of the storyline of Ixcanul but this movie similarly followed the life of a female farmer named Tuya. Her husband ha sheen crippled and can't help her support their family. Tuya herself is later injured and is advised to stay away from intense manual labor to avoid further injury. Her husband divorces her and allows her to look for a husband that can surely support everyone in the family. She is caught between two suitors and the movie ends with both of them fighting and her leaving the scene. If I can remember correctly, in Ixcanul, the main character is also injured and later hospitalized. she is stuck with one suitor and is forced to marry him with no choice, whereas Tuya has some freedom in that she can select between two.

venkat1926 One of he most interesting films from chines mainland. There are no stunt fights, no killings. This is a human story with human complexities and how a strong woman tries to solve her problem. He enduring love and affections for her disabled husband and her children constitute the main theme. In the background there is another actor, THE LANDSCAPE. Even though the steppe land with brushes and those mountains are harsh to the inhabitants, on screen it looks breathtaking. The film shows how women were doing back-breaking chores(literally in this case) for ages for which man has to be thankful and gracious to her. An absorbing film to watch.
