Red Firecracker, Green Firecracker [VHS] Overview
This is an initially fascinating but ultimately wearying tale of forbidden love along the Yellow River in turn-of-the-century China. Niu Bao (Wu Gang), a talented but immature artist, is hired by the heir of a fireworks empire to restore paintings in the family's grand factory-compound. Bao obliges the "master," who is actually a young woman named Chunzhi (Jing Ning). The film's inherent, powerful metaphors--a fireworks dynasty literally sitting on a massive powder keg, a violent river that isolates Chunzhi's citadel from the rest of the world--are tremendously compelling. By the middle of the script, however, there isn't much left to say about Bao and Zhi's doomed affair; yet director Ping He keeps saying it over and over again. --Tom Keogh
Customer Reviews
One of the dangers of capture movies at international film festivals is that many critics think artistically, I can not unfortunately pedantic. There are many critically acclaimed directors, who seem to grow the audience bored to death.
But under the artistic-farty films, there are some that sticks in my head and I think that is good. When years later I still remember the scenes and acts, I think the film has had an influence.
Fireworks is a movie for me. TheSpeed is not blockbuster pace, but the story is a duty and an obligation in conflict with passion and love of the responsibility that we, his family and people who rely on family and the desire to be free, to pursue desire.
On the other hand, the story of a man who can be reached via his station, and since everything that can or will be. To reach the unreachable, and be prepared to face death or worse, for his dream.
The climax is explosive, but theFuse blows long.
And the resolution can not do everything (if) is the other reviews.
But 10 years or so, after the movie "I still remember with affection.
Disney has no end.
Now if only they were not ... $ 155
