Has anybody seen this?

[deleted]

I saw this movie a few days ago (2011 May 8) and think it is the best movie I have seen in four years. I would like to tell you details from the film, but although they are not very unexpected, you will have more profit from seeing everything with fresh eyes.

The movie was released in 2009. I have searched internet for a DVD of this movie, because I like it so much. But I did not find it. Could it have been sold out? Or what could be the reason?

Today I have learned that "Anita" is indeed available as DVD from yesasia.com, though, as far as I know, only for region 3. But by now a lot of movie lovers have region-free equipment.

I do think that I am responsible for the sudden change. Well, first I wrote a plot summary myself. Then the latter was substituted with a more professional one. At the same time a large picture was included in the title page, which had the same character as a DVD frontpage would have. And there are now also a trailor.
And, as I already said, I know that a DVD exists.

All of you, you will not be disappointed if you buy this great movie.

Sorry, I have bad news. What I have bought is the Taiwan edition. It differs in quite a few respects from the version shown at the Jewish film festival. It is not a negative difference that the mother has a larger part now. Among other things I cannot have seen Anita being woken up in the morning, nor that the mother was sitting at the edge of the bath tub.
- - No, what is worse happens during Anita's odyssey. I wrote in my plot summary that all people she meet, and who cannot avoid becoming involved, think of how to get rid of her, but also to take genuine responsibility for her meanwhile. This is not true of the Taiwan edition. In particular the photographer has a very much larger part, and he almost continually shows negative sides. He is indeed an alcoholic addict. And he get rids of Anita by both going on a bus - and then in the last second before the doors are closed he jumps off. - As I remember things, in the bathing scene the photographer tries to concentrate on a journal. In the Taiwan edition he is smoking, and the cigaret looks strange, and is also in the center of the picture. Well, I am a virgin as regards illegal narcotics, but it seems to me that the director wants the audience to be sure what kind of a cigaret this is.
- - The mother of the Chinese family (though not the grandmother) are much more aggressive. And in the beginning the nurse is so too, although she eventually accepts Anita as if she were her adopted child. - In both versions, when the brother has found Anita, the nurse asks to come and visit her now and then.
- - Strictly speaking, the Taiwan version is more realistic. But I do not mind to see a somewhat more romantic movie. Anita has sufficient problems in advance.
- - Those who have seen the movie, please try to tell which version you saw. From my comments now it must be easy to recognise if it was the Taiwan edition.
- - I shall indeed make some attempts to find out if there is another version, or if someone is planning to release the "Jewish" version.

I found this DVD at my local library.
I'm watching it now ... it's sad ...
I just want to know if it's based on a true story or not.
