A character study masquerades as social commentary without succeeding as either in Han Jie's "Mr. Tree."

Variety: Beginning of the Great Revival review
A Chinese propaganda film without the heavy dogma and dour treatment that would have been expected a generation ago, "Beginning of the Great Revival" is a slick and lavish historical epic charting the 1921 formation of the Chinese Communist Party.

Cecilia Cheung has broken her silence on her marital woes, and in an explosive interview with Oriental Daily News, told her husband Nicholas Tse to stop pretending to be a good man, good husband and good father.
"Even up until yesterday, right before I got on the plane, he was still secretly 'releasing' information to the public. I truly couldn't stand it anymore and felt that I needed to come out and say something."

I’ve been married to him for 5 years and have known him since I was 18 years old – of course I know what type of person he is! All this time, he has always projected the image of being ‘cool’ and ‘suave’, wearing his sunglasses all the time and such. I once asked him why he always wears sunglasses, to which he replied that with the sunglasses on, people can’t tell whether he is lying or telling the truth! So him getting ‘Best Actor’ is truly ‘deserving’ then! (Q and A with Cecilia, translated)
