Long Day’s Journey Into Night (地球最后的夜晚). dir. Bi Gan (毕赣). 2018.

Born in 1989, film director Bi Gan attended the Shanxi Institute of Media and majored in television production. Bi is best known for his 2015 film Kaili Blues (路边野餐), which won him several awards including Best New Film Director at The 52nd Golden Horse Awards and the Best first Feature Film Award at The 68th Locarno Film Festival. 

Long Day’s Journey Into Night stars actor Huang Jue (黄觉) as Luo Hongwu, who returns to Guizhou for his father’s funeral. There, he recalls the death of his friend Bai Mao twelve years prior. Through the investigation of this death, he becomes involved with former lover Wan Qiwen (Tang Wei), and his world begins to interweave dream, reality, past, and present.

Despite being an arthouse film, this movie was marketed as a mainstream romantic-comedy film. One of its campaigns was to time its December 31 release so that the final kissing scene occurred at midnight, prompting viewers to mirror the kiss of the protagonists. Long Day’s Journey Into Night took $37.9 million in China on its opening night, but was met with a lot of backlash as well as a sharp decline in box office numbers, as viewers were expecting a rom-com and felt horribly deceived. 

Long Day’s Journey Into Night won the Best Cinematography, Best Original Film Score, and Best Sound Effects categories at the 55th Golden Horse Awards.

Do you have a smart TV and want to watch the first #Chinese #movie of #Rain's career, "For Love or Money" (2014)? I found an app on my Samsung called GLWiZ, where you can watch hundreds of On Demand movies, series, and live TV from Persian, Arabic, Turkish, Kurdish, Afghan, and Chinese television (the app is in English). Just go to the Chinese section and FLoM is there! You'll be watching #rain_oppa and his leading lady #liuyifei in no time, the whole thing. I saw English and Japanese subtitles. Nice and clear, really cool. 👍🏽😃 ^@@^ #비 #정지훈 #crystalliu #actors #popular #chinesefilm based on #amycheung's #romance novel #wangxuebing #joanchen #shaofeng #tiffanytangyan #mandarin @rain_oppa

Another 'Must Watch'

Well, it's an old Chinese Movie from 2023. Family-Drama ang genre, lumitaw lang siya sa NF ko tapos nacurious ako kasi 1 minute lang yung clip, naiyak ako HAHAHA

This time, wala ito sa Netflix at Youtube kaya pahirapan hanapin, buti nakatsamba. Of course, di ko sasabihin ang kwento nito, masaya kayo. HAHA Pero one thing for sure, ang ganda ng kwento. Dapat itong mapanood ng mga mag-asawa, Millenials at kahit Genz Zs lalo na ngayong tumatanda na ang parents natin pati grandparents natin at sumasabay na rin yung pagiging sibilisado ng ating mundo.

Nakakakilig, nakakatuwa, nakakainis, nakakaiyak nang malala.... Marami kang makukuhang aral, kung paano mo made-define ang tunay na pag-ibig nang walang panghihinayang at pagsisisihan. Marami kang mari-realize sa pelikulang ito. Sa mga nakapanood na, don't spoil sa comment section. Dahil promise, worth it pag pinanood mo nang buo. <3
