Wissenswertes
The mainland authorities allowed the Hong Kong based production company to film in China but were unhappy with the results.The censors held up release for a year, insisting on the removal of the Xi'an kidnapping scene plus, the entire last reel, and the cutting of almost forty additional bits.

Alternative Versionen
A segment of the film is not shown in the release version as it's thought to be historically inaccurate by China. This is the part where the sisters are thought to have parachuted into the camp.

Stunning non-fiction epic

9* out of 10

This stunning non-fiction epic is filled with cinematic splendour. Base on accounts of the social upheavals in various points and eras in Chinese history, it is filled with gorgeous cinematography, great score by Kitaro and great cast. Historically accurate if not, a few minor point may be incorrect, but as a whole, it shows you the big picture.

With some of the best stars there is from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Maggie Cheung, Michelle Khan and Vivian Wu portrayal as the three sister are excellent. But the most powerful in performance are from the men. Jiang Wen (outspoken Charlie Soong) also a favourite actor of mine, Winston Chou (charismatic Sun Yatsen) and Kuo Chiuwu (commanding Chiang Kaishek) are powerful and haunting.

Despite an 18 minute footage cut from the original, still its a great direction from Mabel Cheung. As a loyal fan of great movies from China, in likes of directors Yimou, Kaige, XieFei and HePing, Soong Sisters to me will be one of my personal favourite masterpiece, one of the few from Hong Kong.
