Reviews on Aftershock
Last week,I,together with my classmates,saw the film Aftershock,which was directed by Feng Xiaogang,a famous Chinese director.
Set in the 1976 Tangshan Earthquake, the film tells of a story about a family of four. During the earthquake, the father died and the rest of the family survived.But the earthquake has changed their lives. The film follows the lives of the mother and her twin children over the next 32 years. It is the female characters,Xu Fan and Zhang Jingchu that interest us most. Brave,good and strong,the heroine is the character we care about most. Their acting is excellent. I was deeply moved by the plot of the film.
In a word,this is a film which touches my heart deeply and well worth seeing.
