Are people really so nice?
Let me preface this comment by saying this: No, I am not a Chinese dude on some propaganda mission.
This movie was really well made, with very natural performances. But it also made me think if people were really this good to each other in real life. If this is true, what good is our materialistic urban life, where people are so hateful and fake?
Maybe it's just the Chinese people that are so amiable - where I grew up (no, not in China), I can't even imagine being on talking-terms with someone whom I am indulging in litigation with. Or the director of a big city agency actually caring about the problems of the common citizen.
Maybe the story/screenplay was highly fictionalized - people aren't really that nice to each other. Although, makes me wish it were true as it is.
