Amazingly beautiful.

This is a very powerful movie with beautiful dancing. Although the politics have a bit of a Western bias, the journey and ultimate outcome of the protagonist is one that cannot be missed.

Although films generally pale in comparison to the books(read it; saw it)this film touches upon the "right notes" to feel for its protagonist. Not hard on the eyes either!

Touching and compelling story, well-acted

User rating: August 16, 2010

A truly wonderful experience which is an example of the old cliche about rags to riches.The human element is strong as we watch the trials and triumphs of Li as he struggles to attain personal and creative freedoms in his new milieu ,all the while never losing sight of his origins. Well-acted by the cast(many of whom are unknowns) and peerlessly photographed. Die Fledermaus is most creatively mounted. Rich,rewarding-even for those who are not particularly interested in the ballet.

FOR A SELECT AUDIENCE. SUPERB, IF YOU KNOW BALLET. INSPIRATION FOR ALL. SHOWS BRAVERY TO STAND UP FOR YOURSELF. LUCKILY THINGS WORK OUT FOR BETTER. TIMING IS EVERYTHING. HIS FAMILY WOULD NOT HAVE FARED AS WELL TWENTY YR EARLIER.
