Life Translated

Last Friday, I went to see the movie Life Translated at the ImaginAsian Theater. Along with Asian teen hearthrob Edison Chen, the movie stars actor Cary Woodworth, who's a good friend of my friend Asim. I really enjoyed the film (which was apparently a big hit with the teen set in China), though it definitely suffered a bit from faulty editing and a too-soon resolution that looked like they ran out of money towards the end.

Regardless, though, it features fine acting and a very memorable and emotional script that will appeal to anyone who's ever been teenage, awkward and having to fend for yourself while you're far away from home. After the screening, Woodworth and co-star Jennifer Li (the script of the movie was based on her autobiographical novel addressed questions from the audience and signed autographs afterwards.
