Customer Reviews of The Road Home
Find your way home in 'The Road Home' Beautiful. Heart-wrenching. Breathtaking. This emotion-laden story is by far one of the most emotional films ever made. Featuring Zhang Ziyi, from 2000's cinematic chart-topper Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, The Road Home is the story of a girl who falls in love with a schoolteacher. One of the most tear-jerking parts is when she drops the bowl of dumplings that she'd made for him, and the bowl breaks; tears are guaranteed to stream like creeks. Simply lovely.
The Road Home
It is rare that a movie can transcend language and cultural barriers to convey a story that appeals to the emotions of the viewer. The Road Home is one such movie. Without resorting to a summary of the movie, which is surely repeated elsewhere, the Road Home is a love story. Despite being unable to appreciate the magnitude of the marriage for love concept as opposed to marriage by arrangement, as I am an American, I was still able to recognize the love depicted in this movie. Despite not being able to understand Mandarin/Cantonese, the emotions are clearly conveyed through the actors. One feels for them and roots for them even if there is no blatant antagonist to rouse your emotions. Clearly the movie has touched other viewers as it won the Audience Award at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival and Silver Berlin Bear at the 2000 Berlin International Film Festival. The Zhang Yimou (Raise the Red Lantern and Ju Dou) film bloodlines do not raise unattainable standards or expectations, but may actually raise the standards for his other movies. If Zhang Ziyi is typecast later as a method actor good only for martial arts and sex kitten roles, one need only view this movie to see that they are wrong. You should watch this movie.
"Road Home" - What a great movie!
I am not a big fan of Zhang ZiYi, however, I did like "Road Home" a lot! Comparing her usual roles as a tough sword fighter such as in "Hidden Draggon Crouching Tiger" or "House of Flying Daggers", I think this kind of movie suits a lot better for Zhang ZiYi. Speaking from Asian point of view, she is not the prettiest girl you can find in Asia but she definitely has the quality of sweetness and confidence in her look, which fits perfectly with the role in this movie.

>The story is indeed a celebration of great and undying love between lovers. What gives a greater impact on this movie is the way the story is set in a backward Chinese village where grand love is least expected to be found. The kind of simple yet passionate love between the two lovers in the movie has almost become extinct in reality.

>This kind of movie is very refreshing to the audience because it does not follow the typicality of most American movies where stories start off happily and end happinly.
