Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image.

Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

[edit] Exact locations

Can editors fluent in reading Chinese determine from a Web search exactly which counties/villages in Yunnan this was filmed? The captions say "Li Village" (李家村) and "Stone Village" (石头村), but I don't know where those are or if they're real place names. And which ethnic group(s) are featured? From the Chinese-language sources it seems to be the Naxi, but English-language sources don't treat the issue at all, perhaps believing everyone in China to be ethnically "Chinese."

Most shooting for the film was done in the Shuhe Scenic Area (束河风景区, an ancient town turned tourist attraction) near the city of Lijiang. As far as i know, "Li Village" and "Stone Village" do not exist for real. Scenes for "Stone Village" were actually shot in Shigu Town (石鼓镇), in the Yulong Naxi Autonomous County. Residents are predominantly the Naxi people. Here's a link you might find useful: [1] --Plastictv 23:11, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Great Movie / Great Article

Im surprised this movie is not so well known in the states. The Asian drama genre usually takes a backseat to martial-arts fils, howver this is a fine example of a movie that would have probably done well if released. Very powerful story and also does a good job of potraying both chinese and Japanese culture in a fine way 65.163.203.130 19:37, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
