Just interested in hearing what scene was memorable or touched you the most. Anyone?

I am looking forward to watching it with my Laotong friends!

The "death scene" was the most moving part of the movie. It reminded me of when I was reading the book and could barely read the words for all the tears flowing.

The other thing I liked about the movie was "Big Feet Production" and thinking about Wendi Murdock, one of the producers, when she defended her husband.

I am eagerly awaiting my copy of the DVD as we speak...I should have it in a couple days!

My favorite scene is based on the chapter called "The Letter of Vituperation." In the book, Lily totally takes down Snow Flower by reading this letter at a women's gathering. In the film, the director hired nu shu singers so you can hear what those songs sounded like, which is amazing and something I couldn't do in the book). Instead of Lily reading the letter, she sees Snow Flower, all these emotions play across her face, then she gets up and walks out without saying a word. the effect is the same: Snow Flower has been ostracized but it has been done in a purely visual and aural way.

Wendi is an amazing woman. I consider it a great honor to have met her, espcially at this difficult time in her life.
