There are three movies this week
1. The Road Home is a romance and one of the best films to ever be produced in the PRC. It stars Taiwanese actress Zhang Zi Yi. This is a three box of tissue film. No sex, no violence no strong language. You should notice the implied criticism of the Chinese government in the Cultural Revolution.
This link will require registration but I have not had ay problem with this site and the film did not cost me anything to see. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPhTf-Zt5iM
2. MAd Mission3 with Sam Hui. Sam Hui is sort of a Hong Kong Elvis Presley. The film has a plot but that plot is primarily a vehicle for the gags. This one suitable for little kids as it is just silly fun.

3. Departures is a Korean movie about a struggling musician who takes a job a job as a mortician preparing bodies for viewing a funerals. This sounds icky but the movies is actually quite moving. Once again it requires registration.

Enjoy
No tickie, no watchie.
No “Kung Fu Hustle”?
Let me recommend: A Bittersweet Life. I will add caution for the violence, but It’s very good.

I made a mistake
The service that the Road Home and Departures is on is sort of an Asian Netflix you can get a 5 day free trial but it is $15-$16 a month to continue
A con-team couple (Andy Lau & Rene Liu) head west after taking a city businessman for his BMW. But an encounter with a naive young carpenter travelling home with his life savings challenges their fate as thieves.
Zhang Ziyi is not Taiwanese.
How about “Me Luv U Long Time #6”?
The Fiendish Plot of Dr Fu Man Chu?

What....no Godzilla?
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
95 episode subtitled epic about 2nd century China entitled Three Kingdoms, about the fall of the Han dynasty, and the ensuing ructions. In turns didactic, folkloric and historical, the source 14th century novel is said to have served as a guide to political maneuvering among China’s rulers and rebels alike:

OMG-I thought I was the only one that saw that movie. One of my favorite of all times!!!
As a non-Chinese observer of Chinese history, I'm no expert on this, but I suspect in large part, this is due to political correctness, i.e. royals always have the right to rule, until they don't. In addition, the Han dynasty was really two dynasties. The original dynasty fell, and was resurrected, in a way, by a minor lineage group of the original founder of the dynasty. How minor? Liu Xiu, the man who started the latter 2 centuries of the 4-century Han dynasty was the son of a minor official. While he was a descendant of the founder of the Han dynasty, Liu Bang, he was only very distantly related to the deposed royal family. This was how Liu Bei, a maker of straw sandals, was able to stake a claim as a pretender to the throne - Liu Xiu, another distant relative of the Han royals, had preceded him in re-establishing the dynasty. Further, Liu Xiu's descendants and their retainers had kept the dynasty going for another 200 years, which led to a good many men of talent and courage to bind the fates of their families to Liu Bei's cause in hopes that lightning would strike twice.
