Fantastic film, greatly overlooked today. This movie is all about becoming a man, something a lot of kids today need to learn. Watched it with my teenage son last week, and we found a lot of things to love about it: the dialogue, the characters, the music, but mostly the refreshing way that it presents positive male role models teaching the protagonist life lessons about being a man: taking responsibility, honoring your family's legacy, making the most of your opportunities, defending a woman's honor. You know, exactly the opposite of how "modern" films portray father figures.

Powerful. Exposes the horrors of the One Child Policy (compelled abortions, baby kidnappings, human trafficking, and more) with personal interviews of those who were involved and victimized.These things weren't happening in some long forgotten part of history, this was still being done in 2015. Surgically cuts apart the Chinese propaganda machine, corruption at every level of the Chinese government, the complicity of civilians who murdered and stole babies because "they had no choice," and both the "traditional" and communist value systems that birthed this abomination.
