Has anyone read the e-book (Beijing Story) this movie is based on? I want to ask a question regarding the story line in the movie I'm not clear of.
Did Lan Yu date anyone during the time Handong is married to Jingping?
When they met again after Handong's divorce, Handong asked him "You have friend?" and Lan Yu said "Yes" and mentioned his friend has gone to US to study. What is the meaning of 'friend' in this context? It can't be just a common friend. Anyone will have some friends no matter how much a loner he/she is. It's weird for Handong to ask such a question if he only meant a common friend.
Can anyone recommend me an online store I can purchase this DVD, with not too high shipping cost? I can't find the movie in the local movie/music store (I live in M'sia). The one I currently watch is the 3-movies-in-1-disk type DVD where there is no alternate language option. I want to watch the movie in it's original language where I can hear the actor's voice. The dubbed cantonese voice is a bit lacking in emotion.
