In Reply to: "Ju Dou" posted by rico on April 03, 2004 at 01:14:16:
All of these Gong Li movies are very good, but the best of he best is "To live" or sometimes titled "Lifetimes"--one of the best movies ever make, IMHO.

Follow Ups:
I don't know if I completely agree. After a while she gets repetitious. Certainly our early reactions to her art were stronger, getting more mellow with time and more works. The To Live was a monumental work, while the Ju Dou is more like a chamber one, but between the two for the sheer beauty I would pick the Ju Dou - if I had to have just one.
In essence, I agree with you: Gong Li and the directer (Zhang Yimou) had a good run, but the later movies were not as good.Clearly, Ju Dou is small in scale while To Live is a grand epic. Nothing captures the changes that wrought China for so many decades better than To Live, which is why I prefer it.
All told, there are some classic movies in this "series".
