The Children Of Huang Shi
Saturday, October 4th, 2008
This movie would have been better as a fantasy instead of a historical drama. It would have made more sense that way.
Children of Huangshi starts off with a bang, appearing as if it’s going to be some epic masterpiece, but by the end of the movie, you’re left wondering where the story went.
It also bothered me that by the end of the move, the plot seems to revolve around the main character and his romance.
Shouldn’t it be less about snogging and more about Hogg’s relationship with the children? 
I thought that was the point of the story and that’s why he’s famous: helping kids in the face of war and cultural differences and not screwing some blonde chick.
It doesn’t take a hero to do the latter.
Based on real events, The Children of Huang Shi is a story set against war-torn China in the 1930’s.
The film centers on a young English journalist (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), an American nurse (Radha Mitchell) and the leader of a Chinese partisan group (Chow Yun Fat) who meet in desperate and unexpected circumstances.
