A Thousand years of Good Prayers

A Thousand years of Good Prayers

A thousand Years of Good Prayers is a movie about a Chinese man that comes to America to visit his daughter. The daughter is a divorced library worker for a college. She is the one who broke off her previous marriage. She left her husband for a Russian dude who believed in communism. This boded somewhat well for the father since he was a rocket scientist for communist China. This movie is pretty boring, but, on the other hand, it has some interesting things about it as well. It's slow in the way it tells it's story, and a lot of the time, it seems to not have a point at all. Some parts do not contribute to drive the plot forward, but, they remain there. The only notable theme in this flick is that of old adjusting to new, and that of culture shock. Boring shit, but at the same time I suppose I get the feeling from it that it is kind of relevant. 2,5/5
