Too long and paced, confusing relation of relatives and friends when they seat at the table. But lovably idea of the story -and history- view through a deaf guy nad a nurse.

"17.8. Houn reilusti yli kaksi ja puoli tuntia pitkää sukuepookkia vaivaa lähinnä se, että se on sukuepookki. Pitkään elokuvaan on yritetty tunkea lähestulkoon kaikki mahdollinen Taiwanin historiasta Kiinan sisällissodan ajalta. Liikaa asioita mukaan ymppäämällä elokuvasta tulee todella perinteinen juonikuvaus, jossa hypitään ja pompitaan paikasta ja ajasta toiseen. Taiwanilaisohjaajille aihe on tärkeä, ja siksi varmaankin jokaisella merkittävällä heistä on aihetta jotenkin "
