Is this movie based on a true story ?

[prismatism]

Mylene can't actually speak chinese, right?

By the way this movie was filmed in Vietnam, not China.

@MrsJPortman Sure, anyone who's read my review would know that.

[MrsJPortman]

@sitenoise Yeah, if they actually read it. Just that it says China on the title, so I thought it was a mistake.

[sitenoise]

@MrsJPortman Point taken. I generally title things via IMDb which, I believe, reflects where the funding comes from. Add "where the film is *supposedly* located, or about", and what language the film is in. Nothing Vietnamese there. I did use a Vietnam tag though. :)

@sitenoise It was filmed in Ninh Binh, a small town with famous sightseeing of mountain and river in northern part of Vietnam. Actually in this film, there is a Vietnamese actress :D and I guess as it was banned in china, they had to film it in Vn

Near the ending and the ending of this movie really fucked it up it was just getting so good! How it happens at the end is SO NOT true!

[sitenoise]

@BestPersonEverToLive I'm curious about that myself. Wish I had an answer.

[BestPersonEverToLive]

@sitenoise yeah I'm like searching around google and stuff. If I find an answer I'll let you be the first to know. Thanks :)
