Happy Times [Region 2] description
A beautifully heart-wrenching movie. Zhao, a middle-aged laid-off factory worker, longs for a wife; in the hopes of marrying a pushy divorcée, he agrees to pay for an expensive wedding. To raise money, he turns a derelict bus into a place for couples to rendezvous, and brags to his fiancee about how he manages the Happy Times Hotel. When the divorcée insists that Zhao give Ying, her blind stepdaughter, a job at the hotel as a masseuse, he convinces his friends to help him concoct a fake massage parlor where the girl can work. Happy Times begins as a delightful light comedy, but as the relationship between Zhao and Ying grows, this deceptively simple movie flows effortlessly back and forth from sweetness to sorrow, culminating in a devastatingly moving ending. --Bret Fetzer |

Jie Dong is simply outstanding ...

CBC ran this in the middle of the night, and I did not know the story but the girl in it conveyed such feeling. I bought the DVD and just watched it tonight.
What a wonderful story. I am glad to see so many great reviews online at Amazon -- when I searched the web there was very little "reliable" reviews.
It deserves 5 stars for the performance of Jie Dong lone. Her expressions in every scene is heart breaking.
I highly recommend this movie. |
