Movie Haiku:Melodramatic "Guilty Pleasure" from China. Epic story of star-crossed Beijing lovers played by lead actress Gao Yuanyuan (as "Yongyuan") & lead actor Nicholas Tse (as "Anran"). Gorgeous. Heart-breaking. Set to a soundtrack showcasing a thousand strings. Rebirth of a classic Hollywood weepie from the Golden Years (and yes, I do mean that as a complement). NOT YET SEEN BY RICH.
