via: yesasia.com, also read in-depth commentary on the movie: Ke Ke Xi Li: An Uncompromising Hit
The first Chinese Western adventure from The Missing Gun's auteur Lu Chuan. Ke Ke Xi Li, a critically acclaimed film that is in competition in the upcoming Tokyo Film Festival, is a major Chinese production based on a gripping true story about a journalist who follows a band of volunteers trying to protect endangered antelopes from poachers hunting them down.
The volunteers defends the protected region of Ke Ke Xi Li in Tibet, however many poachers are ruthless and will stop at nothing to get what they want, including killing the volunteers. The area is rough, the enemy is well hidden, the air is thin…and as the tide turn against these selfless volunteer defenders, what will become of them as they are slowly outnumbered?
if there is anything remains in my mind after watching this movie, it is the decision made by the patrol leader to sell tibetan antelope wool in order to get money to fight against poachers. this inconsistency is a perfect reflection of the reality world around us. it reveals more to me than the materialism vs. idealism does in the movie.
it is snowing now in shanghai! another year is approaching to its end.
