Summary: "Breaking The Silence" Is Well Heard
Comment: "Breaking The Silence" is one of Gong Li's finest works. Li plays the Mother of a hearing-impaired son who wants very much to be "normal" and to go to "normal" school with other children in his community. Li tries, only in vain, to have her son accepted in the "normal" school through recitations with the school Principal, but her son is not accepted. To add to Li's struggles, her son's Father is an unresponsible parent who does very little to help Li as she struggles to make a living and care for a son who has a disability. This film is set in modern-day China and will appeal to anyone who loves Asian cinema and has struggles. Li's coping mechanisms are simply superb.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Gong Li stars in her first non-glamorous role.
Comment: Directed by Zhou Sun. Gong Li with less makeup than usual plays a mother enduring hardship for her son. This is a good Mandarin modern drama.
