Karena terlalu males ngetik, sinopsis filmnya saya kopi-pastel dari
sini nih:
Based on real people and true events in China, it tells how a young Englishman, George Hogg (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) came to witness the brutal killing of men, women and children during The Rape of Nanking.
Almost beheaded, Jack Chen (Chow Yun Fat), a communist guerilla, came to his rescue and hid George in Huang Shi, a missionary home for war orphans. Here, a nurse, Lee Pearson (Radha Mitchell) and Madame Wang (Michelle Yeoh), a local and powerful businesswoman became his strength and aid in the time of difficulties.
However, with the war catching up, Jack and Madame Wang must help George, Lee and the sixty orphaned boys to escape from Huang Shi.Ok, terimakasih gsc.com.my atas sinopsisnya.
Menurut saya, film ini mengecawakan. IMDB (Internet Movie Database) memberi rating 8+, makanya gue penasaran pengen nonton. Dan lagi-lagi saya tertipu oleh trailer. Tapi pada dasarnya sih, saya suka film berbau sejarah kaya gini. Hmm sungguh orang yang plin-plan.
Film ini bagaikan perosotan! Awalnya bertensi tinggi, tapi lama-kelamaan menurun dan cenderung menjadi SUPER membosankan. I was expecting some war scenes, or heart-catching scenes but yeah, it failed my expectations. Bigtime. Ditambah lagi dengan sedikitnya karakter, ketidak-akuratan sejarah, dan berisiknya orang yang duduk sebelah gue. Hugetime!
Intinya: Bagaikan nonton film dokumentari. Escape From Huangshi membuatku ingin kabur dari bioskop!
This movie simply doesn't deserve my RM11.
