Movie Review: Aftershock (唐山大地震) Tangshan Great Earthquake

  
This is one of the Chinese movies 'must-see' films that I've seen on the internet. This is included in the list of the best Chinese films ever made. This is based on a true event that happened in China wayback, a great earthhquake that struck Tangshan (a city located in northeastern Hebei province of China). The characters portrayed in the film were just fiction, but on the last part of the movie, a survivor of the Tangshan earthquake was shown. 

   The cinematic effects was great. The collapsed buildings and structures, especially the rubble, will make you think that you it was filmed at the time when that event happened. It was really believable. I also like the portrayal of the lead actress, who played a mother who is forced to choose, and the consequences of her choices. She's really good in portraying her character. As if I can feel her feelings. Now, I somehow understood the sacrifices and hardships that a mother can experience. 

   This movie is very timely, since my country was also devastated by an earthquake last year. We should always be prepared, and we should be aware of what we're going to do, just in case an earthquake will hit our country. Anyway, whatever happens, GOD is in control. If you want to veer away from Wuxia (martial arts-hero) themed films. Then I suggest you see this movie.
