Mozart in China


It was Grace’s birthday last Tuesday. We decided to watch one of the films in Cine Europa, Mozart in China. It was a story of two boys, Austrian and Chinese, who went on vacation in Hainan with a Mozart marionette in tow. Salzburg and Hainan, two very different places were connected by the friendship of the two boys.
The first scene in the movie showed the Hohensalzburg castle. And Grace not knowing that the movie is set in Austria shrieked, hey that’s Salzburg. (Grace just arrived from a one year study grant in Berlin. I guess she still has Europe in her mind and heart.)

The movie was in German (with subtitles of course). The plot (just google it) was simple but engaging. It was a breather from the usual movie formula that I always subject myself to. And since it involves China, its appeal to me is further enhanced.

Kaya ngayon, nakikinig ako sa pampitong simponiya.
