Here come another movie that can make me so touched and make me open my eye even bigger for the environment and people around me. After Shock, directed by 52-year-old Feng Xiaogang, a household name known mostly for his popular romantic comedies, is a tear-jerker about a family torn apart by the 1976 Tangshan earthquake and reunited years later in the aftermath of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake.
A True Story based movie created is to recall a 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck the industrial city in north China on July 28, 1976, which was believed to be one of the deadliest natural disasters of the 20th century and is estimated to have killed over 240,000 people. That was also when the decade-long Cultural Revolution started to peter out, shortly before strongman Mao Zedong died and a few months before the Gang of Four were arrested.
Despite what’s been called its touching script and skillful acting, the film has not only moved audiences to tears but also has drawn criticism about its lack of soul searching about what exactly happened 34 years ago.
And again, i cried because of this movie. And this movie reminds me of my mom. for whoever who read this, keep this sentence in your mind. whatever your mom tell you, whether it is nice or hurtful, happy or sad, inside her heart, you're still her child, and She still LOVE you whatever you are, FOREVER.
