It's amazing, Ang Lee's cast is so touching, Eileen Chang seems to have passed on a certain temperament to Tang Wei, and students and movie theaters are always indispensable elements. The details of this film are all shot very well. Look When I was in 1938, Hong Kong, 1942, Shanghai, the mahjong in the first act was enough to conquer the audience.

★★★★☆ The film is very well shot, detailed and hearty, and it is thrilling to watch all the way. But no matter what, I can't like it. It is much higher than the original, but it is still depressing and cold. No matter how venomous Zhang Ailing's writing is, she is nothing but a grudge against Venus and Scorpio, while Li An is much more warm and generous. It is also in the movie that there is a comparison between family and country and personal destiny. Eileen Chang's little woman doesn't care about this at all.
