Xun qiang (2002)
Jacket Theme Masks Substance; Touchstone for Many Emotional Hotspots
From the title to the critique snippet, the jacket theme, probably intentionally, masks the film's content.
Surreal but with pauses allowed by today's technology, reflection and discussion can put the pieces together.
Weighty issue of firearms and violence handled most appropriately particularly from law enforcement point of view.
Despite my reality, it was difficult to identify with isolation of lead actor.
Excellent proof that Y2K did not thwart either artistic and worthwhile (fill in the blank.)

Notes on a Scandal (2006)
R Rating Most Appropriate; Downer for Youth Confidence
Several years of high school are essential for understanding and gaining worthwhile insight.
Relative generation values contrast to conclusion that contemporary teachers and students (fill in the blank.) Very difficult to stomach the media frenzy.
Did identify with the haunting of older generation portrayal (smiley face here), specifically with VL and Miss H of high school years.
Emphasis on male naiveté and passivity less than appreciated but then again youth did score.
Would not recommend for content or context and only if desperate in circumstance.
