One of the best movies China has to offer will make you think. A lot.
29 March 2014
A different kind of movie about a different kind of people in a different kind of country... Or is it? Absence of music, a depiction of harsh land where death comes for you in a blink of an eye and a portrayal of people who risked everything for "a bunch of antelopes", but unlike Hollywood heroes even they have flaws and same as the poachers they fight against, they all are, at the end of the day, just people like you and me.

What I especially like about this movie is the absence of music, unnecessary drama or anything else to spoil the "real-life experience". You will really feel like you actually are inside the car that is falling apart as the patrolmen chase after the poachers as if nothing else mattered. Behaviour of the characters is beliavable and the usage of Tibetan and Chinese according to the situation also might be intriguing to a student of any of those.
