The mist in opening scene and overall color tone of grey suggests that Wang is paddling into a world of dullness. With his houseboat- his only sanctuary- Wang travels around to make a living by performing Bianlian in return of donation from people who appreciate his art on the street. Desperation and poverty are not only accompanying people in the slave market but also Wang: his wife left him after the death of his son; his only companion is not a human but a monkey. Master Liang’s confession that “ we all have our own sorrows” reflects the folk artists fate of twists and turns and bitterness. During one performance, Wang is intimidated and oppressed by soldiers, but he can only chant woefully “The dragon in the shallows is toyed with by the shrimp”. Many proverbs like this in the film convey to audiences his hardship and helplessness. Government corruption is also disclosed in the movie when Wang is falsely charged of all kidnap cases and imprisoned. In his quest for an heir, Wang visits Buddhist temple to pray and buys a Buddha to worship in the hope that it may gift him a son. All Wang’s spiritual sustenance is on the Buddha body. This showed Wang’s inner weakness and helplessness towards his own destiny.

Mao’s last Dance is a film that explores numerous different themes though the protagonist, Li Cunxin’s, point of view. There’s a big difference between Li at the start of the film and at the end, where he achieved all his dreams and goals by making several tough choices such as moving to America. He had to say goodbye to his family when he was only a young boy, then had to deal with the constant pressure of not being emotionally strong enough, flexible enough and not being fit enough. While most of us in his situation probably would have locked ourselves away in a dark corner and cry, Li decided to take

So pretend you are a man in jail, yes you committed the crime, but you believed that the proof in front of you was the end. In your eyes what that detective presented to you was the whole “proof in the pudding”, but then you figured out that it was a ruse. You submit the report under the Article 38.23, denied, and then still had to serve long years in jail. At this point you might think to yourself “The system is failed”, but there is light at the end of that tunnel.

Throughout the movie "Forrest Gump" the main character, Forrest, is made out to look like a slow, dim-witted individual by his peers but perhaps he may not be as unintelligent as everyone thinks. Gump is as far from ordinary as you can possibly get. Yet, he doesn’t know it, not with I.Q. of 75. Gump lives a life of innocence. He is so literal in his thinking that he doesn’t even realize his role in every major historical event during his time. Forrest Gump may not be a smart man, but he knows what love is. His love for Jenny will take the viewer on a trip through history. This film was released in 1994 and directed by Robert Zimeckis.

To begin, China and Jeremy’s relationship consisted of only happiness. They did everything together, spent time alone with each other’s parents, went on walks in the rain, stayed in and watched movies, went camping, and most importantly, had sex. This was something they both romanticized and longed for; China wished for it to be like the movies, “where the stars ambushed each other on beds the size of small planets and then did it again and again until they lay nestled in a heap of pillows and blankets, her head on his chest…” Thus, they went on a camping trip alone in the middle of a forest.

The trailer for the latest installment of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, aptly entitled "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 2: The Sword of Destiny" was recently released.

Jack did not want to wait around for his money and suspected that Wang may have been trying to avoid paying, so he drove Wang to the airport so that he could get paid back faster.

Her last memory of Old Wu escaped in a sea-green tear, only to be wiped away by the Sun King who told her, “Come, walk in my shadow. There, you will know my love.”

While Li-zhen and Mo-wan were not engaging in any scandalous activity, the threat of them just being discovered together forces the two to wait in the room, scarcely making a sound. Li-zhen vocalizes her fears throughout the film, constantly reminding Mo-wan that they shouldn’t be seen together because their neighbors would talk. True to Wong Kar-wai’s artistic style, an evenly panning camera coupled with the reflection of the dresser mirror plays with the viewer’s perception of the space – although the room is cramped, the composition of this shot conveys a sense of the strained, awkward emotional distance between the characters in the intimate space. Furthermore, Wong Kar-wai utilizes the “highly sexual and highly repressed” qipao (Brunette) in the mahjong scene; Li-zhen is clad in a blush, form fitting qipao true to her costuming throughout the film. While the qipao’s shape and color lends it an almost erotic nature, Li-zhen’s stiff movements turn the gown into a metaphorical straightjacket. Li-zhen is a beautiful young woman with a desire to go out and enjoy her life, yet she is restrained by an unfaithful husband that is never home and the opinions of her neighbors. Wong Kar-wai’s utilization of mise-en-scene presents the almost tragic story of the two lovers, whose emotions are restricted by the social boundaries they break.
