- The Road Home "回家" (Hui2 Jia1) is about our home and what it means to us. And this movie reminds us of that road we need to take, to journey back home. It’s about valuing love and being faithful. It’s about the rich meaning of home the Chinese culture holds - the sentimental value that has been eroded by the material value so easily purchased in the capitalist market. A broken bowl is not replaced, but repaired painstakingly by nailing the pieces together. The finest cloth woven with care and love.The story centers around bringing home a body from the hospital, carrying it by foot, with the belief that this way it will never forget the road home. This story was told by the son who came back from the city to the mountainous village of Shanhetun when his father died. As he begins recalling life in the village and the passion of his parents, he begins to realize that the home means more than a place to sleep. Of course, besides the meaningful story, the well crafted cinematography - another acclaimed work of director Zhang Yimou, you'll get to see the beautiful Zhang Ziyi, being in itself could make this the Best Picture. :) I applaud the good camera shots taken here! Can still picture Zhang Ziyi with the yellow autumn leaves in the background. You'll never want to see Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon after seeing this :).
