Subject: Good and what's more I liked this movie but I also found myself wanting a little bit more - many of the characters seemed flat or unbelievable, and the story was a little too melodramatic. Xiao Yun's performance was weird, unique, and compelling, but really her character didn't have much to do. However the movie did do a really interesting job of showing street life in old Shanghai. - October 1, 2008Good and what's more

Subject: part of history This is indeed a wonderful look into the past. It has aspects of communist China's propaganda prior to the cultural revolution, yet is charming none the less. It is famous in China even today. The songs are known to most everyone in China. Both main actors in the film were victims to the cultural revolution but the boy managed to survive. If you don't like the ending of the film, you might want to know... this piece here is only the first half of the film. there is a second part. In the second part... well I don't want to spoil it for anyone who wants to see it... I don't have it, but if anyone does, please upload it! - April 10, 2008part of history

Subject: Street Angel I have a friend who is living in China who asked me for any films of life in China. He teaches English (through an interpter)in Shanghai. This

film would be perfect even better if you could the subtitles as well. Please look into that. My friend wants to use films like Street Angel to help his students learn English (by subtitles)

Four for the film and five if you can put the subtitles in. Thank you IA. - February 19, 2008Street Angel
