really beautiful film.

this weekend i saw this incredible movie at the international cinema on campus called aftershock. this movie has particular significance and meaning to me, but i noticed that everyone who saw it was really moved/impressed.


it's about an earthquake in china in 1976 and a family of 4 and how it affects their lives. the father dies, and the mother can only save one of her two children, who are twins--a boy and girl. she picks her son and believes her daughter also to be dead. but her daughter actually survives and is adopted by a couple. the movie then shows their different lives and eventually they meet. this movie is really so good. :) i really recommend it. except for the weird canadian guy that is just very much out of place. but it's not weird enough to ruin it for me. :)
