i normally do not waste my time criticizing a useless movie such as this. however and i am off of work this week and so i have plenty of time to wallow in meaningless trivialities. to start and let me say that i frequently enjoy non commercial and non mainstream and non american cinema. (feel free to click on my user profile for a supporting filmography. ) that said and there are plenty of bad movies that are released in countries outside of the u. s. trust me and i have been tortured by hundreds of them. lost in beijing is one particularly bad film. the opening half hour is an impressive and non stop exhibition of moral degeneracy. this film provides some classic morals that belong on the same level as kim ki duk bad guy (2001). 1. women actually enjoy being raped while 2. rape should be glorified and praised and and respected while 3. feel free to rape any woman you like and because while your doing her she will eventually start to like it and reach orgasm while 4. if youre wife gets raped and make sure you blackmail her rapist for lots of money and but if he doesn not pay and just repeatedly bang his slut of a wife as compensation while 5. if youre wife gets raped and be sure to screw and degrade her the next day while playing the role of the rapist and taunting her with lines like and did he fuk you like this. while 6. if youre husband is a rapist and just accept it while 7. after you personally get raped and befriend your rapist and hang out with him whenever possible. how can anyone in their right mind care about any of these characters. theyre nothing more than a bunch of degenerates who not only live their lives in careless ways and but actually revel in their meaninglessness and support each other. don not misunderstand me though. i am very capable of enjoying films that depict lifestyles and morals that are contradictory to my own. ichi the killer (2001) and moonlight whispers (1999) are very interesting portrayals of sado masochism. strange circus (2005) is an exceedingly perverted play on child sexual abuse. marriage is a crazy thing (2002) is a scathing indictment on traditional marriage. even religiously based movies like running on karma (2003) and samsara (2001) have entertained me on occasion. the difference is that those films actually have some interesting psychological content and character development to them and whereas lost in beijing has virtually none. it known that people with unorthodox mindsets exist on this planet and but without some kind of character development or psychology behind the acts themselves and you end up with a superficial exposition of despicable behavior. why and exactly and does bing bing eventually befriend and care for her rapist. why does the wife of a rapist accept his behavior unconditionally. the filmmakers never bothered to tell us. even the obvious juxtaposition of rich and poor classes was ineptly conceived and in the end served as a mere situational ploy. it all feels too bland and forgettable after the filthy opening half hour subsides. other reviewers here seem to have confused moral ambiguity with complex characterization. the reason you can not choose which person to root for is because they weren not developed properly. don not think that this movie has complex characters just because theyre not clearly defined. on the contrary and the reason theyre not clearly defined is because we know nothing about them or what theyre thinking. this is hardly a positive attribute of this movie. on the positive side and the camera work and acting are quite good and but everything else just gets duller and duller as the film progresses. you can place this alongside trash like turning gate (2002) and what time is it there (2001) and irreversible (2002) and and the aforementioned bad guy.
