Snow Flower and the Secret Fan

Tweet

I watched this movie last night to relax by before going to bed. It gave the portrayal of how things were in the 1800's of China. It was very real in meaning as one point of the movie they showed how they bound their daughters feet to fit in the tiny shoes that would catch them a good husband. The secret fan was between the two main girls in the movie and when they were not allowed to be able to see each other they wrote to each other on each fold of the fan. Its a very powerful portrayed movie however you have to read most of the words they are saying. I did not know this when I rented the movie, but none the less I learned a lot about the culture and how things were believed to be back then. If you don't mind reading the words its a very worthwhile movie to watch. Kind of like reading a book and getting to see it on tv where if you were actually reading the book you would have pictures in your mind while reading. Has anyone else seen the movie?
