Streaming Aftershocks (Tangshan dadizhen) Movie Online Megavideo Free in HD Two natural disasters frame a story of a mother, her children and a painful decision that scars them forever in this grand-scale drama from China. In 1976, Li Yuanni (Xu Fan) is living in the city of Tangshan with her two children, seven year old twins Fang Da and Fang Deng. The family's life is simple but full of joy until a massive earthquake levels the city and leaves a swath of destruction in its wake. Amidst the wreckage, Li Yuanni discovers both Fang Da and Fang Deng are caught under a concrete slab, and if enough is broken to rescue one of the children, it would tip the balance and crush the other. Li Yuanni is asked which child should be saved, and she impulsively answers her son Fang Da. The boy is rescued, but the effort costs him his arm; meanwhile, the daughter Fang Deng is left for dead but miraculously survives, and is eventually adopted by another family without Li Yuanni's knowledge. The mother is forced to live with the shame of her decision, Fang Da grows to be a physically and emotionally broken man, and Fang Deng studies medicine, starts a family on her own and leaves China for Canada. It's not until 2008 that the story of the mother and the daughter she lost comes full circle in the wake of another earthquake in Sichuan. A massive commercial success in China, Tang Shan Da Di Zhen (aka Aftershock) made its North American debut at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi.

Aftershocks (Tangshan dadizhen) Movie Review
Perfect hokum for those who don't mind having their heart strings strummed like a banjo. David Jenkins-Time Out The film may be a blunt instrument, but it's rarely maudlin -- the exception being the performance of Mr. Feng's wife, Fan Xu, as the long-suffering mother -- and is, on occasion, quite moving. Mike Hale-New York Times [An] involving, well-acted saga of a family torn apart by a devastating earthquake... Gary Goldstein-Los Angeles Times Mimics the worst of Hollywood's excesses, pairing gratuitous shock with patriotism and a flood of tear-jerking moments calculated for awards bodies' consideration. Simon Kinnear-Total Film Aftershock is a gruelling and sombre watch, occasionally over-wrought and melodramatic, yet an absorbing and thought-provoking insight into the consequences of human catastrophe. Henry Fitzherbert-Daily Express It's schlock, but on such a grand scale that it's quite fun to allow yourself to be carried along on its tsunami of emotion. Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK] There's no doubt about it: this film's an unashamed heart-wringer and a tear-jerker, but it packs an almighty punch and the CGI work at the very beginning, as Tangshan crumbles into nothingness, is impressive and pretty scary. Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] A very old-fashioned but stirring movie about family values, but not in the debased sense found on the Republican Party right. A gateway into the tastes and values of Chinese society unlike the typical Chinese film export geared to Western audiences. Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews With nuanced performances, each moment rips with cinematic humanity. Clay Cane-BET.com ... a crowd pleaser to be sure, but a respectful one. Sean Axmaker-Parallax View
