Hi
I recently watched Narnia on DVD at home and I realized that was a marvellous chinese lesson. Not
only did I enjoy watching it, but I practised my listening ability at the same time! And of
course, my understanding of grammatical and semantic rules.
I watched the movie with english subtitles, but the reverse is also possible of course, if you
wanna practise reading.
Viewing without subtitles would have been to hard for me, I am intermediate, but comparing chinese
and english expressions was really useful. Next time I´ll use the pause- and rewindbuttons in
order to grasp everything they say and ponder upon it for a while.

I can recommend Narnia for this, cause they don´t speak very fast and the vocab is not too
complicated.
Perhaps you can give me some other tips in this purpose??

I wouldn't be able to give you any for american movies, but "Don't talk to strangers"
(不要和陌生人说话) and Chinese Style Divorce (中国式离婚) are both excellent for
listening.

i enjoyed "天下无贼" (A world without Thieves)

無極 (the promise) was pretty good movie IMO... cartoons can also be good for practicing
depending on your level... both 蜡笔小新 & 樱桃小丸子 are pretty good shows that are
popular in China.. Alot of the disney movies can also be found in chinese versions with a very
excellent dubbing..

If you want more of a challenge.. maybe try a tv series, or variety show?

Any of Ge You's （the bad guy from 天下无贼）comedies are pretty good (ie 不见不散）I
remember way back when I bought a ton of them, some how I just never get sick of that guy! Hey we
could seriously do a degree of separation game with Chinese movies and Ge You。

Also the actor who plays An Jia He in 不要和陌生人说话 was one of the robbers on the train
in 天下无贼....it seems like such a small movie world doesn't it....

無極? The Promise by Chen Kaige?

I can not recommend this film to anyone. It cannot compare to "Hero" or "Crouching Tiger, Hidden
Dragon" by any standard.

Mulan cartoon is OK, I think. You can find DVD's in both Chinese and English with subtitles in
both or get subtitles off the web.

I enjoyed "天下无贼" (A world without Thieves) as well.

If you're a fan of Ge You, you might also want to check out a TV series he did way back in the
early nineties, 编辑部的故事 - Stories from the editorial board.

I thought that Jet Li's Fearless, aside from being great to watch, was fantastic listening
practice. 帮帮你的师傅吧！

I second the fearless vote... great movie with lots of good listening practice...
