Overview
A boy experiences first love, friendships and injustices growing up in 1960s Taiwan.
So I made it through my first four hour movie. As you might expect, this movie isn’t for everyone, and not just because of the run time. It is tough for someone living on the other side of the world to understand the historical and cultural themes that are on display in this movie. If you are thinking of watching this film, I suggest that you find a time where you can carve out 4 hours in a dark room to watch it. I did just that and found that the film was enjoyable once I truly immersed myself into it.
