chinese movies

Chinese films are my favorites right now. I'm currently watching "The City of Life and Death", a black and white movie released in 2009, about the Rape of Nanking. It's so powerful that I've only been able to watch it in spurts. I'm a quarter of the way into it, and an actor I watched recently in what I would call a Chinese "chick flick" has already been killed off. Damn! He's very good, and I was hoping he would escape and become a Resistance fighter or something...
