When I watched this movie, many thoughts came to my mind, one particular was life is too short, so I stood up and walked out the cinema. What is the point of making this movie? The cast is awful, The scenery is dreary, and there is no plot in this movie. It is just a old man travel around countries and beg for a living. It was not an honest portrait of the ancient China nor was it a very good modern movie, all it was is a two hour long crap which frankly I don't have time to waste on. This is essentially the problem with the entertainment industry in China, it fills up our screen with boring TV shows about ancient history, the sad story of a random character in the rural region or fake news about how economically accomplished we are. The only reason why I bought the ticket is because there is nothing else left for me to see.
