I deeply enjoyed watching the movie with my colleagues. The film was created by Dir. Xue Xiaolu and marvelous actors Tang Wei and Wu Xiubo. Finding Mr. Right was a romantic comedy that on surface was very entertaining but had deeper message underneath. Because I was having difficulty following the movie and reading subtitles, I decided to watch it the second time. Only then I have discovered that the simple plot was only the first impression. I could see the delicate balance between free market economy being housed under a communist government. Although I saw a lot of similarities to my culture, the second viewing helped me to see many Chinese nuances. I do understand the main character's action of delivering her love child in American maternity house. Giving birth to a baby whose father is a wetly married man would be considered as a very shameful act, and the love child would become a subject to bullying. I will recommend my students to watch this film because as a high school teacher I see many teenage pregnancies, and students' focus is to be reach. I would discuss Jiajia's character when she was freely using her rich boyfriend's credit card, and where she was helplessly poor. I will help my students to understand that the true happiness is not in material welth, but in love.
