I am looking for Chinese movies suitable for family viewing. My 7 year old son and I are a newbies trying to learn Chinese on our own, and are wondering if anyone knows of any good family Chinese movies we could watch. We have found a few and it really helps us by hearing the language from native speakers and would like to watch more, especially if they also have Mandarin sub-titles. The problem is I have found very few movies available in the USA, and even fewer that are family friendly. Maybe I am looking in the wrong places, but I am thinking if I had some movie titles names that could help narrow my search.
We have watched Crouching Tiger - Hidden Dragon, Postmen of the Mountains, Road Home. We like adventure, history, documentaries, kids, comedy, basically anything without a lot of gore, violence, or adult content. Anybody have any suggestions?
I have Farewell My Cocubine, Hero, Zhou Yus Train, House of Flying daggers, Raise the Red Lantern but those we really can't watch together, so I would be very appreciated if anybody can recommend anything else. I heard the "Up the Yangtze" is going to be released to DVD in the USA in November so we hope to see that.
Appreciate any help or ideas
Hi!
Sorry for cluttering the board with this post but I just got to have a place where to put my thoughts. My head is spinning.
The day before yesterday I took my chinese friends for a trip in my tiny sailboat. When we were sailing the guy asked me if I wanted to go with them to China in 3 weeks. I was stunned. -I'll think about it, I said.
Later on that day he asked me again. I had repressed it. Stunned again. -I have to think.
Go, go, go! I hear you all poddies say; but you remember I'm not a globetrotter. I travel abroad one time per ten years... It's the longest trip I have ever done if it comes true.
At the present I'm still a bit confused. Do they really want me to join their trip? They are living at my place and are going to visit some relatives in China. We have been friends for a few months. The woman has not asked me in personal to come with them, so I wonder if the guy wants to 请 (qing3) me join but the woman don't want to or is not too excited about it. I really don't want to go if I'm considered a burden to anyone of them.
How can I figure out if they both are frank about this? Spending 2 weeks together is a bit more than a casual 10 minute chat in a restaurant.
