If anyone has seen this film (2002 Chinese movie) would appreciate your help...if not then spoilers below...
I live in Shanghai & watched this film recently. Unfortunately I picked up a local copy, with no English subtitles. I speak some Mandarin so followed most of it, but got a bit confused towards the end. I have read some reviews, but can't get a clear view of what really happened.
So if anyone out there has seen it, I wonder if you could let me know:
- did Zhou (long hair Gong Li) die in the bus?
- was Xiu (short hair Gong Li) the poet's new girlfriend? Or was it Zhou years later, moving on?
- what was the gist of the last meeting between the poet & Xiu right at the end?
Having asked these, I read various reviews that all had different interpretations, so maybe there is no clear answer. I had one view that when Xiu saw the book of poems named after Zhou Yu, did Zhou Yu even exist at all or was she just a fictional heroine? It was mainly trying to figure out Xiu's role in the whole thing that I am stuck on
I'll try and get a copy with subtitles next time...xiexie, as they say in China
cheers
