This is a cool documentary series on democracy in a Chinese class election. They may just be young kids but the tactics they use is not any different to candidates in the 2008 US presidential race.
Must watch all 5 videos. It's funny, eye-opening and heartbreaking at times. Who will _you_ vote for?
Australia is sooo behind everywhere else for movies. The Painted Veil is just coming out - "advance screenings" at selected cinemas. Check out imdb.com - the movie was released in 2006! IMO if you can't even show a movie within a year of its release, don't expect people to come flocking to see it in the cinema. Chances are most everyone downloaded a copy and watched it already.
On the bright side, the movie is good - it has Edward Norton, one of my favorite actors of all time! The cinematography, the tone and the dialogue between Edward and Naomi draw the viewer in and leave them mesmerized in their tragic love story.
