Críticas

Excellent actors, script, dialog, and cinematography, with adult drama handled maturely. Fun and satisfying.

This movie is based on the true story of Gladys Aylward, a determined young woman who felt called to be a missionary in China in 1930. She was not considered suitable by the China Missionary Society, so she worked for some months as a parlourmaid until she could afford the train ticket to take her to China.

At first Gladys is treated with suspicion, but she learns the language, dresses and lives like a Chinese woman, and shows tremendous courage in the face of great adversity. There are a few additional fictional romantic moments in the movie, but on the whole it's very true to her life story, documented in many places.

The acting is excellent, the photography stunning at times, the many Chinese children utterly delightful. It's a fairly long film - about two and a half hours - but I found it enthralling, despite knowing the overall storyline. Produced in 1958, the opening sequence and titles look very dated, but the rest is extremely well done.

Recommended.

A woman repeatedly forgives her cheating husband.

1/4 (Bad).

This script's idea of character development is to have characters describe themselves to people.
