I rented The Story of Qiu Ju da. I have to admit I was not excited to watch a movie with subtitles, so i was already turned off by the assignment. This movie is about a pretty,young, very pregnant girl who fights for justice after her husband was kicked between the legs during an argument with the leader of their village. The movie starts off right after the kick between the legs happened, so you are not able to see the incident that the whole movie is dealing with. To start you watch for a painful amount of time watching the pregnant wife and her friend haul around the husband in a barrel as they are on their way for a long journey to see a doctor for help on his recovery from the kick. When they finally get to the doctor his advice is of course "plenty of rest".

Next, we get to watch them walk back to the village. Really exciting stuff! This is where I started to fall asleep. "sorry".
The wife decides that she wants justice. She goes to the police to tell her side of the story and of course he is friends with the chief of the village. He says the chief will have to pay and give an apology but all she really wants is for the chief to say he's sorry. Right about now I'm really zoning out. This whole thing seems to go on for the whole movie and if you feel the need to find out what happens in probably the last two minutes of the movie I dare you to go ahead and rent it. "GOOD LUCK".

The story of Qiu Ju Da was made in 1992. It is a drama and the length is 100 minutes. The language is Mandarin and was filmed in china/Hong kong. The movie was directed by Yimou Zhang

The movie was given a pretty good rating and supposedly won awards. Maybe you will enjoy more than I did.
