With four memorable songs, anti-bullying film Cry Me a Sad River 悲伤逆流成河 might have my favorite original song list for a film since Tiny Times.
Don’t Cry by Sunnee is sung from the viewpoint of one survivor of bullying to another. You can watch another version of the MV that shows victims of bullying taking off the names they were called.
“I’m sorry” takes seconds to say
but “It’s okay” may take forever
Trailers and stills have been released for the movie version of Cry Me A Sad River 悲伤逆流成河. Unlike the drama version, the film seems like it’s going to be a relatively faithful adaption of Guo Jingming’s source novel, which delves into bullying/peer victimisation, rape, teen pregnancy STD’s, and suicide. The movie has cast completely new actors Zhao Yingbo, Ren Min, Xin Yunlai, Zhang Ruonan and Zhu Danni as leads.
