Watch Little Red Flowers For Free

Very well executed

As Good As It Gets

Absolutely Brilliant!

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

If Yuan Zhang's "Little Red Flowers" isn't quite in the same class as Nicolas Philibert's masterpiece "Etre et avoir" it is still one of the best films ever made about small children in a school environment but whereas the Philibert film was a documentary this is fiction and at times the performances or 'non-performances' Zhang draws from the children are nothing short of miraculous. The setting is a boarding kindergarten in post-Revolutionary China and the central character is Fang Qiangqiang, a disruptive four year old desperate to fit in.There's no real plot to speak of and Zhang films it as if it were a documentary with perhaps more of an emphasis on the children's toiletry habits than some people might like. Although the film is perfectly innocent and full of charm, repetitive shots of our little hero and his friends in the altogether could prove problematic to Western audiences. (The Chinese, or is it just Zhang, seem obsessed with peeing, pooping and farting). Look beyond that, however, and this is a lovely account of one little boy's need for acceptance. The title refers to the little red flowers the children are rewarded for good behavior.

this is a film that you can easily watch with your little kids, because they can relate themselves to this little hero's rebellion against (totalitarian) adults and their unjust world. the protagonist in this case is a stubborn rascal but he has his own logic in behaving as he does, so take him seriously or otherwise... it is a charming little movie about children's life in post-revolutionary china, a small gem. and on general level it also is a perennial study of a child's inability to understand or accept all the strange things adults do or not do to keep their sometimes questionable authority. a nice addition to Asian kid movies which are usually more of a Japanese or a south korean field of quality cinema.

I watch a lot of Japanese and Chinese movies because I used to live in Taiwan and Japan. However, as I seen the movies I seen movies like this that just make me sick. It makes me wonder why these countries focus on the sexualization or exploitation of children.First, these are not infants as such one reviewer wrote. They are four and five year olds, which many at that age are potty trained already.Second, many times the focus is on the genitals of both the boys and the girls (mainly the boys which is highly visible, the girls there are glimpses).The boy also pull down the girls panties just to see her nude a few times.I know in the US it is legal for nudity but majority of the time after they get a certain age usually after three you wouldn't be see full nudity of children because producers want to avoid backlash.I know the Asian reviewers and the European reviewers and the few sick American reviewers enjoy looking at children's genitals but I surely don't.Note to IMDb, you need to update the section for nudity. All you have on here is that it is foul language. This movie has gratuitous child nudity. Note: There is no US rating because it would at least get an R rating.

****Contain Minor Spoilers**** In my option a good movie, it portrayed several kids journey trough a camp of children. The movie did a good job describing the feelings of the kids, one could almost feel how long i must have felt for them.Also there was several scenes where it was hard to tell dream from reality, like the mind of a child. The end of the movie was the most unexpected i have seen in a long time. Bam. Credits.There is a scene where one of the parents come to pick up one of the child's, he is a important man, when he sees that his son has not been given as many points as he expected the personal of the camp adds some flowers and says something like: Oh, we have not give him the flowers yet. They do really try.If you like children's play and a movie without the classical drama. Little Red Flowers is for the win.
