Escape from Huang Shi

A touching movie.. and make me believed that there is such a great man like Mr.Hogg in real life..

What attract me in this movie is actually 'Chow Yun-Fat', it's been quite a while didn't see him in big screen.. honestly since he moved to Hollywood, so far hardly can find any interesting role in his movies, i have to admit that, asian actors/actress really hard to get any main and outstanding role in Hollywood's movie.. i believe they use asian or chinese actors/actress in their movies just bcuz they wanna make their movies release in China, as we know China is a huge market and sure they will make lot of profits from there..

Let's talk about the movie 'Escape from Huang Shi'.. basically the story is ..

In 1937, George Hogg (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) inexplicably finds himself leading a group of sixty orphan Chinese boys on a journey over the Liu Pan Shan mountains to the Mongolian desert to escape the Japanese invasion. Helping Hogg on his heroic rescue are Chen Hansheng (Chow Yun-Fat), the leader of a Chinese partisan group; Lee (Radha Mitchell), an Australian woman who lends medical help; and Madame Wang (Michelle Yeoh), an aristrocrat also fleeing for her life.

To me, it is not a very good movie but... it is a touching movie.. Mr.Hogg is really a hero and he spent his time and efforts, even contributed his life to save those kids from Huang Shi to a safer place.. I am very impressed by the role of Mr.Hogg which done by Jonathan Rhys Meyer and also the role of Lee, the nurse.. both did a great job in the movie.. as what I have expected, nothing much on the role of Chow Yun-Fat in this movie, and not to mention another asian actress, Michelle Yeoh..

I juz realised this is based on a real event happened in the history before the show end, wow!! Mr.Hogg is really a great man on earth.. we should salute him for what he has done to the sixty kid's life.. Overall, it is a touching movie and I will recommend you guys to go for the show and see what terrible things can be happened during the wars..
