A Review of The Bride Crossing the Harbor

Accustomed to using crazy comedy as creative capital, Zhang Jianting, director of Golden New Art City, began to favor immigrant themes in the late 1980s. This film is obviously different from the previous creation, without much comedy style, but with stronger literary temperament. The heroine ran away from home, wandered in a foreign land, tossed and turned for the right of abode, and even fought for the right of survival. Such stories have become the focus of immigrant films, such as Love in a Foreign Land and Girls Don't Fishing. Maggie Cheung, who had lived overseas, played the heroine perfectly, with all the details and emotions in place.
