The Forbidden Past

1979
Romance, Drama
In the sixties, love stories portrayed women as sentimentalists or sacrificial lambs. Later on, directors like Chu Yuan replaced these themes of sacrifice with abandonment. The Forbidden Past is a heart tugging, rare Chinese Christmas story about a bar girl (Ching Li) serving drinks to a man that looks like her husband from five years ago. She convinces him to fulfill her son's wishes of having the father he's never seen, show up for Christmas. A merry Christmas follows? (hkcinemagic.com)

The setup of the story and the flashback were great but once we get back to the present-day story it turned into one big montage. Also, I am really conflicted by how the movie ended, this would definitely not be something that Hollywood would make of a Christmas movie.
