To Live / Lifetimes / Huozhe (活着) / Żyć! / Vivir! ---- DVD trailer

[Joeinlosangeles]

Beautiful, heartbreaking film.  Script, acting, direction, cinematography are all about as good as it gets. This english-language trailer doesn't fit the quality of the work - very weird, in my opinion.

More people need to know about this film. Such an epic although it is quite a depressing story. It is the Forrest Gump of Chinese cineima due its presentation of china's history in the film.

One of the greatest films ever made, and definitely on my personal top 10. Starring two stars from another favorite of mine, 'Farewell My Concubine'. I have seen 'To Live' countless times and will watch it again and again. An amazing epic film.

Simply amazing film!!! Gong Li is a megastar. Zhang Yimou is a master film maker.

[kabyluvnicole]

Love Gong li's movies :)

Haha we're watching this movie in school for Honors world studies and at the beginning when it shows the Communists running toward them the guy sitting next to me was like "oh shit,they're screwed"

Just saw this movie last night. I don't know why people don't like the trailer, I think is fairly effectively shows the theme, bit more importantly the drama of the film. Excellent film. Will expand the horizons of anyone who watches it. I learned a lot about Chinese history and culture and gained an enhanced appreciation for the value of family in trying times.

@quiden the trailer is not finished

[tonycl568]

This movie is epic and brilliant. Definitely on my top 5.

[Digatone]

Gong Li is amazing

@Digatone I know :)

Watch this before you think you know Zhang Yimou. "Curse of the Golden Flower," "House of Flying Daggers," "Hero" are all rubbish thanks to the White Terror after 1989. THIS, is Zhang Yimou.

[MotherMistress]

This movie is absolutely beautiful, I've seen it more than three times and I still love it.

[1337gam3r07]

I'm watching this movie in my history class I LOVE IT

[GlennInWinnipeg]

Oh this is an OUTSTANDING picture. The cast is amazing .. and it tells about the history of China since about 1940 .. how they did it in 2 hours is that they just show it though the eyes of this couple going through it. Zhang Yimou, father was associated to the Nationalist side of the war (they lost), and as such he spend 10 years doing hard labour. Almost Bizzare to us Westerners, people say it was very much like this movie. I loved it -- but very sad as you love the characters to much.

[Meowsaidthekitty]

This trailer looks awful, is the movie actually good?

[XinBiDe]

If you liked the movies Zhang Yimou made before it, then yes. Raise the Red Lantern and Ju Dou as well as Farewell My Concubine would be a good indicator for how you'll feel about this film.

[bigredsfunbus]

These trailers tend to do that. The film is brilliant.

@Meowsaidthekitty

It's not just good, this movie is amazing. Brace yourself for an emotional roller-coaster ride.

About half way through the movie, I just couldn't take it anymore. I was emotionally connected with the characters. I cried like a little girl, and I'm a 28 year old guy.

[davechua]

I guess the regular 'In a World' guy wasn't available.

[MrSkip1961]

Fortunately the movie is everything this cheesy western style trailer is not.

[zieba]

Looks like so, but I highly doubt it's that fortunate.
