i couldnt tell. get well soon
Praying this turns around quickly, Karine.🙏🏻
Its ALL good!! Feel better boo!!
💛💛💛
It's amazing how you can watch a movie in a complete foreign language but be thoroughly entertained and satisfied.
Language doesn’t have to be universal to feel emotions and be entertained. Films used to be silent, and before that we only had only oral traditions for natives, stage, operatic, or road shows.
@@Fiefaenwow cinemas
It’s amazing how simpletons like you exist. And by the masses.
My favorite Gong Li movie is "Curse of the Golden Flower". She's such a wonderful actress and so beautiful. She plays tragic characters so well. Even if the character is a wicked b*tch like Hatsumomo in "Memoirs of A Geisha", she makes you feel some type of sympathy for them 💛💛💛
That's my favorite of hers so far as well. I absolutely love that movie and she did an amazing job in it.
She was great in memoirs of a geisha
Raise the red lantern
Loved Raise The Red Lanturn, Judi’s, Red Firecracker/Green Firecracker and Curse of the Golden Flower
It’s not the Hollywood movies that makes her an international icon, it’s those early movies she did with Chinese legendary director Zhang Yimo, such as: To live, Raise the red lantern, Ju Dou, Red Sorghum. Farewell my concubine. Although some of them censored and temporarily banned in China, they gained great recognition internationally.
this channel got a lot of facts so laughably wrong in the eyes of anyone who can read mandarin (taiwanese, singaporeans, the rest of southeast asia etc).
gong li shot to fame as the eye candy in early hongkong movies before gradually maturing to serious roles. a few of her movies were partially censored due to eastern conservative culture (also has a reputation of frequently changing lovers) but i dont recall many political bans with the exception of to live.
she was boycotted for wearing a brand (adidas) which took part in denouncing xinjiang (ps: i have been to urumqi the capital and know the truth) but her gigs in china (event judges, modelling, ads etc) every year proves that she was never blacklisted, even skipping her first singapore citizenship ceremony due to a china gig ..... which she renounced a decade later anyway after divorcing her singaporean husband (china does not allow dual nationality).
Zhang Yimou, I have seen all the films she did with Yimou back in the 90s and 2000s. She was the first Chinese actress to be a cover girl cosmetics spokes person.
Some of my favourite movies of hers are: Raise the red lantern, Farwell my concubine, 2046, and curse of the golden flower.
Raise the Red Latern has me in a chokehold, the insight into concubine culture was fascinating, I also enjoy Memoirs of a Geisha tremendously.
My favorite is Raise The Red Lantern and Ju Dou.
Raise the red lantern is one of my favorite movies of hers..She's my most favorite actress period.
I love all of these! Great taste 😊
Watch ''A Soul Haunted by Painting'' if you can...it's a true story about a famous artist named Pan Yuliang who Gong Li plays....I managed to get the limited blu ray release of this movie and when I watched it this movie became my favourite Gong Li movie...it's an underrated gem.
I absolutely love Gong Li!♑️! And her past exhibit in metropolitan museum “China, beyond the looking glass” back in 2015 was my favorite! She’s a wonderful, beautiful actress and a fashion icon to me
💛 love her. I watch mostly Korean, Chinese, Thai, movies a lot. I watch less of American stuff too! Raunchy and foul language all the time. I watch a lot of black and white classic movies too! Thank you Karine for this video.
American movies have suffered because of poor writing and not necessarily foul language, raunchiness or violence in the content (huge Quentin Tarantino fan). There are many American movies and series that do not have these raunchy aspects yet they fall flat due to poorly written plots that have a major impact on the actor’s role in character development. A good example is the Witcher where Season 1 was on point in the casting, plot and character development but by the time we get to Witcher Origins its gone downhill coz of poor writing in spite of the great cinematography. It’s also the same with the recent Harry Potter franchise, the Fantastic Beasts movies despite of their great cinematography have not been successful due to ego and poorly written subplots. Fantastic Beasts has also had a great casting but since their character development was poorly written the actors appear stifled and monotone at best. The complexity of human emotions is by far better written into the plots of Asian series and the actors have to be really talented to produce even the subtleties hints for the viewers to pick on which appears to be lacking in many recent Hollywood films.
Chinese movies are also terrible, accept some arthouse movies!
@@19megamustaine85 I noticed that too and as Gong li noted it has to do with censorship but I love their series especially historic & supernatural series. Just completed watching "story of Yanxi palace & Ruyi's palace of Love". the 2 are just divine.
💛There are rumours, here, in China that Gong Li has reclaimed her Chinese citizenship, in order to film again in China. I had the privilege to play a few scenes in the Volleyball movie " Leap" in 2019 and talk to her on set. She was extremely nice and courteous, praising us, small roles, for being part of the project. I played the referee of the match against Brazil-Chinal in the 2012 Olympics.
you've to remember that china does not allow dual nationality and she gave up singapore citizenship after divorcing her singaporean husband. hard to believe she was ever banned from the entertainment industry in china considering the numerous gigs and luxury brand endorsements every year. dont take my word it, just verify
Yassssss my girl gongli ❤ I'm excited for this video. She played the best in Mulan live action movie too! Thank you Karine, pray that you're doing well love ❤️
She was the best actress in that movie but i wished they did more to her character.
@@Dtzeo503 I agree, she had the best character in that movie. Her character was the only one who kept me watching the show.
I cannot wait for you to do Akina Nakamori and Seiko Matsuda as well !!!!! I love your feminine breakdowns hopefully one day it will be me but until then I will be watching♥️♥️♥️♥️.
She is so beautiful. Loved her in raise the red lantern and memoirs of a geisha.
Wow!! What a beautiful surprise to see you doing a video on one of my favourite actresses!
Even when she's in her late 50s she could still play a bond girl
I love her so much. She's EXTREMELY talented.
Gong Li is on of the most beautiful women on the planet🔥🔥🔥she is also a great actress as well🔥🔥🔥
💛 She's a brilliant actress. Once again thanks Karine for highlighting another icon
@KarinAlourde your knowledge of the entertainment industry , really is the best on RUclips hands down
NO CENSORSHIP IN ART! Go Gong Li!
She has been in some amazing films I love raised the red lattern. I also like actresses Shu Qi and
Zhang Ziyi
My 3 faves!
I was freaking obsessed with that memoirs of a geisha movie ! My god I bought 2 copies the original and deluxe because it was that good of a movie !!! I watched it well over 20 times now lmao 😂 she’s such a great actress definitely a natural!
Curse of the golden flower is amazing, really recommend the movie for everybody to watch 👌
Thank you for your recommendation. I'm going to find this movie. I can't wait to watch!
Watch ''A Soul Haunted by Painting'' if you can...it's a true story about a famous artist named Pan Yuliang who Gong Li plays....I managed to get the limited blu ray release of this movie and when I watched it this movie became my favourite Gong Li movie...it's an underrated gem.
She was one of my favorites after Raise the Red Lantern - love Gong Li in everything she does. 💛
your channel so diverse! i learn so much!
EXACTLY! This SISTA is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 with the representation! She Doin It!
@@mariahc.crawley884 Your last name is my maiden name
I loved this upload of Gong Li! Had no idea she was blacklisted tho. And yes there are many pros and cons of creative restriction. But in some instances, more pros. It just depends, you know? Some places do too much with censorship. And The curse Of The Golden Flower was my favorite move with her. When she slapped that mug away at the end. Chiiiiiile. Like he was still trying to poison her?! 💛💛💛
Curse of the golden flower and memoirs of a geisha are my absolute favorites. She is one most beautiful women in the world to me. 🥰
It seems like a pattern with asian actresses: they all are blacklusted because of their huge star power (which China dosen’t really like), their open sensuality oftentimes, their complete freedom and free minded views. It’s so sad to see what they have to go through but I absolutely LOVE them and RESPECT them so much for their careers and characters!
Wow! I had no idea Gong Li was blacklisted. STILL a stunning actress. I know the Asian actress Tang Wei who starred in the erotic thriller Lust/Caution was blacklisted. Shameful considering her beauty and talent. 😕
She is amazing actress. Karine can you do a video documentary of Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi.
Maaaaaan! This one right here! Class, elegance and talent And stands diligently in her truth. Gong Li is one of my aunties in my mind.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
💛 Loved her as Hatsumomo!!
Karine you did another outstanding video!!!
I love your videos on international film icons. I think you’d be interested in Jean Moreau in a possible video subject next. She was a famous French actress of the past who broke into the American mainstream. ❤
❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤
My step mom has family in Shandong but is from Xi’an. I have a brother, sister in law & a niece in Shandong too. My father met her in early 2000s when he was teaching English to young school age children.
Memoirs of a Geisha absolutely💛💜💜💜 I'm also very much interested in your enlightning perspective on some of our more unsung luminaries (Imho) if not previously covered...
1. Missy Elliot
2. Fatima Robinson
3. Maxwell
4. Jeff Buckley Jr.
5. Cicely Tyson
6. Kirstie Alley
7. Paul Walker
...and the list goes on, lol! Only because your detail to production, journalistic skill combined with your lovely voice all create a mesmerizing cocktail of perfection🥂❤
She did a Kirstie Alley video after she died
@@jrmetmoi yep. Took a bit of digging for me to see Cicely's beauty video highlighted as well, lol! The extensive network worthy coverage of our icons is being explored and I am delighted to see some I missed. Thanks for the heads up, got more exploring ahead💜💜💜❤
She’s stunning and I love her movies 💛💛💛
Gong Li is one of the most beautiful women in the world!
She stood out in Memoirs of a Geisha.
One of the most elegant and classy women I've ever seen in my life. 💜😊
My favorite gong li films: Raise the red lantern, Shanghai triad, farewell my concubine
I adore Raise The Red Lantern. Her character was so innocent then toxic (but completely in an understandable and a way that is almost sympathizable), and then broken.
You failed to mention her work in Mulan twice: First in the 1998 animated and then again in the 2020 live action version she played the witch.
Please do Betty Sun, Fan Bing Bing, and Godfrey Gao (r.i.p to him).
This is right up my street. I WOULD LOVE you to do more chinese and south Korean actors, singers, and actresses 🥲🥲
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
💛 love love love Gong Li! Thank you for the inside story Karine!
Omg I was watching Farewell My Concubine for the first time as you were uploading this! That's so crazy to me!! I had no idea who Gong Li was, I was watching as a Leslie Cheung fan.
Have you seen that movie? There's a LOT going on 😂 It's 3 hours long and I had to take a break after the first 2, but I will finish it soon. After learning about Leslie Cheung I've really started to like their movies
Love your content Karine!! Can you do a video about Teresa Teng? She's singer that influenced a whole generation of Asians!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice presentation on the Meryl Streep of Chinese cinema. Thanks for taking the time to put this together!
She was and is my favorite Chinese woman actress. I feel in love with her long ago
Memoirs of a geisha and curse of the golden flower are my favorites I love her so much! ❤😍
She is soooo beautiful 😍
Gong Li is so beautiful. I loved her in Memoirs of a Geisha.
💛 this is really interesting I didn't know all of that stuff. Would love to see some more deep dives into famous geishas and Pac Islander/Chinese stars
Memoirs of A Geisha, she was absolutely stunning! An extremely talented actress .
She's a star of the first and finest quality. 💖💖
“Mind your business”😅 I mind my business and the business of many famous people via your channel. We are human and social animals which is why we love gossip. In fact many sociological studies have found that gossip is an important communication method to distribute information and even warn people about dangerous people who cannot be held liable by law.
She is so beautiful and a talented actress.
Gong Li

I love Ging Li! Curse of the Golden Flower is an amazing film. She did an excellent job in it. I watch it over and over!
Gong Li still looks so young and very pretty
great review.💛💛
Absolutely! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️
THESE WERE BOMB MOVIES!!!
Gong Li is honestly one of the MOST Beautiful women I have EVER seen.
I’ve realized that there are soooo much talents in Asian film market. Koreans are doing very well in movie industry and other Asian films are becoming better than ever! I didn’t like Chinese films so much but now I really enjoy Chinese films very much now days. And Thai are amazing too! Their movies are amazing as well.
Great one!
Thanks for this well-researched, informative clip over my favorite actress. Well-done!!! She is one of the most beautiful women in history and a great actor.
👌🏽👌🏽 Never miss
Someone who lives in China would not be well served describing to you how bad it really is as long as they are still in the country or intend to go back.
That says it all.
Gong Li was in Farewell My Concubine?? I watched that movie once a long time ago and I didn’t know that she starred in it
I absolutely love your channel. You are a true gem!
Gong Li is a very good actress. I have seen many of her films.
Thanks for posting about her !
She is very kind and down to earth even off camera. She is what chinese call quality chi energy
I recommend Red Sourghum [if it's available] as one of Gong Li's finest performances [among many]. Warning: It has some very horrifying scenes. The basic story I will quote a description from imdB [internet movie database]: " When a leprous winery owner in 1930s China dies a few days after his arranged marriage, his young widow is forced to run the winery to make a living while contending with bandits, her drunkard lover, and the invading Japanese army." The parts of the film that R difficult are when the Japanese invade the area & stay on the red sorghum farm & force Gong Li's character to continue making wine for the Japanese to drink but torture several of her workers in the most horrendous ways imaginable. I had never heard of such things other than horrifying medieval tortures [think "The Tudors" or Idi Amin in "The Last King of Scotland or the Nazis] So if you have a weak stomach for the unthinkably cruel inhumanities some evil men inflict upon other humans, you may want to skip this movie although Gong Li [& entire cast] is magnificent as is the direction by the brilliant Yimou Zhang [long-time collaborator w Gong Li]. {{PS I love your videos Karine! Brava!}}
I am still dealing with a cold n got mad RESPECT 4 ur CONSISTENCY
Gong Li is definitely one of the best actresses in cinema history!
Well youtube is banned in China so I don't know how many honest answers to your question you will get.
Im a whoooole African and I LOOOOVE HER!!!!
💛. Love her movies
Love her Films. She is Flawless! We as BW can learn a lot from AW!
She is gorgeous ❤ love her in Miami vice
3:08-3:16
Asians age like us which is never 💪🏾🤞🏾💯, but the reason is another story for another day. Folks aren't ready for that conversation.
Wow, she is beautiful in this thumbnail!
In "Curse of The Golden Flower" She was stunning!! I love Gong Li!
My favorites: Ju Dou, Raise the Red Lantern, Shanghai Triad, 2046, MOAG, Curse of the Golden Flower 💛💛💛💛
queen♥
Great video. Your did not deter from your great narration.
I love your depiction of strong women in film ❤️
The best actress from China! She is the goat!
as an artist, she has never banned in China, her faces have always been all over the Chinese media. several movies of hers in 1990s were banned in china, that's all.
Memoirs of a geisha
💛💛💛💛. I love her movies, she's such a beautiful woman
She is absolutely beautiful! I love that these actresses from all over the world and all over time have fought for freedoms and different rights. Everyone everywhere should be free to live their lives however they want, as long as they're not hurting others or themselves.
movie theatres in China are normal. Like western style. I go sometimes to watch american movies. No problems
I loved Curse of the Golden Flower. I still root for her character, no matter how many times I've watched it. 💛
I loved Gong Li in Raise the Red Lantern and The Curse of the Golden Flower
