gong li


is she any good? i know she's in that new movie "Curse of the golden flower" with chow yun fat, so she must be getting bigger and better roles. i was just wondering if maybe i should keep an eye out for her.

is she any good in this movie? i heard she's naked alot in this movie, but i don't really wanna see a porno. i hate when movies just stick nudity in there for no reason. not that i don't like nudity, 'cause it's pretty awesome. but it's better if it's there for a reason.

She's wonderfull in it, though I think her performances are better in Shanghai Triad and Raise the red lanterns.

And you only see her back.

She is brilliant in it.

Gong Li is brilliant in Ju Dou, as she always is. She is incapable of giving an average performance. This is one of her very best, and also one of Zhang Yimou's strongest, most fully realised movies. I would highly recommend it.

She was awesome in this role. She is a luminous presence on the screen.

Gong Li is way better than Maggie Cheung in terms of acting and beauty.

I agree. I like Maggie but Li is a goddess. "The Queen of Chinese cinema".

fans of Gong Li should also watch "The Story of Qiu Ju". Personally, I found it a much better movie, compared to Ju Dou.

i watched Ju Dou and then watched Qui Ju. and i just be liked l(0_0)l ohh! how different!! about the costumes in Qui Ju that Gong Li wore was so countryside and her character as pregnant just made me stunned. besides, her acting too, was so great.

She's excellent in everything she's ever done. (She seems to select her roles pretty carefully!)

In her debut film, Yimou Zhang's "Hong gao liang" {(Red Sorghum) (1987)}, she is excellent; and so remains throughout the next decade -- with performances like "Da hong deng long gao gao gua" {(Raise the Red Lantern) (1991)}, and culminating with tour de force showcase acting like Kaige Chen's "Ba wang bie ji" {(Farewell My Concubine) (1993)} and "Jing ke ci qin wang" {(The Emperor and the Assassin) (1998)}...

Also worth checking out is an amazing turn in Sun Zhou's "Zhou Yu de huo che" {(Zhou Yu's Train) (2002)}...

Why do you bring up Ms. Cheung in this forum...something personal?
There is no point to compare an apple with an orange.
They are both delicious!

Gong Li is very good in this film,probably 2nd best film she has made.("Raise the Red Lantern" is a little better) No real nudity,as mentioned,all you see is her back.
