I love Pearl S. Buck and her book The Good Earth is one of my favorites.
She really has a way of connecting the reader to her characters. In "Pavilion" I felt the same way. The director did a wonderful job of bringing Buck's characters to life. The casting was great and I was so attached to them I didn't want the movie to end. the cinematography of Pre-war china was beautiful without overpowering the story. It has been a long time since a movie moved me like this one did. The love that was between Madame Wu and Andre was beautiful and pure. I cried like a baby at the end.I can only hope that I too will one day find love like that.
