The literal translation of the title of this movie is: I also have a dad. Although this movie is a family movie, it is actually very good for adults too, particularly for fathers. In the recent Chinese rapid economic boom, everybody is concentrated on making more money by working extra jobs or extra long hours, and as a result, the family is ignored. Of course this applies to both men and women but in China, it is often the man who is the bread winner of the house. This movie advocates the fact that family should not be sacrificed for making financial gains and it did a good job by depicting in the eyes of young kids. - zzmale @ zzmale

BEAUTIFUL FUNERALS is a hand-painted double-step-printed film composed of 1) dense blackness variously punctuated by brilliantly colored jewel/flower-like shapes AND 2) interruptive white sections which are fuzzily dotted with blurred whites and criss-crossed by black "brushstrokes" and hard-edge straight black and white lines.
Set on May 18, 1993—the day on which Denmark voted to join the European Union, just a few months after they'd voted not to do so—the film follows eight or so disparate Danes (an escaped mental patient, a newly-famous singer, a business executive, and their assorted families and cohorts) as they unwittingly alter one another's lives, for better and for worse.
