Review

Warning rape and human trafficking is a central problem and topic in Cutter. I warn the audience to be wary when watching this film since it does have triggering themes. Eclipse/Cutter first off is difficult to describe. It starts precisely how the summary describes. The acting is severe throughout the whole film. It makes you think it based on a true story. However, from my knowledge that it is not. It sounds like something found on several reports that you hear from the news, articles, and so forth. The ending is quite bittersweet if you can get the message that the actors and writers were trying to get through without saying any words. Would you watch it again? I might if it come back to my attention. However, most likely not since it shows a rape scene that leaves a bad feeling in your stomach.

Review

A Round Trip to Love was like this is what happens to lead up to this moment. It what establishes the “get to know the characters.” The beginning is a scene from the second movie. It shows how someone from an absolute wealth has to hide from family and friends. Lu Feng is a character that is very dominated and takes what he wants, which can cause a narrow line of consent to be cross. It does have concerning scene that I would advise the audience to be cautious about if you don’t like those time of theme and scenes. A Round Trip to Love feels like a pilot of a series. You know where you are trying to get to know the main plot of the series. The ending is a cliff-hanger because they came out with a part 2 for the movie. Would I watch it again? I feel like I don’t have enough information from the film to know if I can answer that question correctly and trustworthy.
