Title: A Great Look at China!
Review: Mark Salzman's BOOK Iron and Silk is great for many reasons. It's one of the best travel books ever written. It's a great book about martial arts. It's a great look at the differences between East and West. And it's a great look at Chinese culture and society. The book is really good.The film adaptation of the book is interesting. It is very low budget but I think that is what adds to the films charm. The film is the opposite of a slick hollywood production. Instead the film is very down to earth and wonderful.Salzman changes some names around and adds a bit more of the romance aspect. The girl was a small part at the end of the book but a major part of the film.Bottom line is that like the book, the film is a great glimpse at China, Chinese culture, and the differences between the US and China.My best suggestion is this: read the book and then watch the film. If you do both you will come out ahead and knowing a lot more about China.
