Q: Favorite Chinese film?

I just watched "Red Cliff" and "Red Cliff 2" over the weekend and thought they were pretty awesome. Does anyone have any other recommendations of decent Chinese films? Obviously I've seen the ones that hit the West ie. Crouching Tiger, Hero, House of Flying Daggers etc. Any independent/underground film ideas would be awesome too.

I saw a good movie last week called "Lost in Thailand (人再囧途之泰囧)," which reunites actors Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang. It's a comedy about their mis-adventures in Thailand as Xu Zheng (who plays a scientist) tries to locate his boss and accidently gets paired up with Wang (a tourist). Xu has to find his boss before his rival co-worker (played by Huang Bo) so that he can get permission to release a renewable energy formula. Lots of physical and spoken gags, lots of Thai scenery, and, it has English subtitles.

 

Of course, it's nothing philosophically stimulating or a cinematic leap forward, just an enjoyable flick. It also has a nice cameo with Fan Bingbing at the end of the movie.

They are Hong Kong films but, Chungking Express and In the Mood for Love by Wong Kar Wai are both very good. Recently watched Ai Wei Wei Never Sorry that was an eye opener.

A Beautiful Life for sure. I've seen that movie about four times. It's available on Netflix streaming.

Forward Question

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
