	Chinese Box (1997)
		It's also the time that is left for John, the principal character of the film, a freelance journalist trying to store on film and in words the transition and dying of leukemia.
		The strength of the film and what makes it survive well the decade since its realization resides however in the rendition of the city, of its infinite colors and smells, of the crowd and the noise, of its hopes, fears and dreams in the wake of the falling under Communist rule.
		'Chinese Box' catches both a moment to remember in history and a beautiful love story to remember as well, on the background of a world in transition to an unknown destination.

	Box Turtles
		(Box turtles often have small round holes in their shell from the pincers used to collect them.) American Box turtles are partially aquatic turtles: unlike aquatic turtles such as the red-eared sliders, painted turtles and other fresh and brackish water turtles, the Terrapene ssp.
		Box turtles fall somewhere between the aquatic water turtles and tortoises in their need for access to a body of water and to woody grassland areas with dry sandy soil on top, humid earth beneath.
		Chinese boxes: 75-85 F; Malayans: water temperature 78-85 F and air temperature 85 F. You need to invest in a submersible water heater if you cannot get or keep the water consistently hot enough with the substrate and overhead heat sources.

	CHINESE BOX - LIONS GATE SIGNATURE SERIES DVD
		In both Chinese Box and Life Is Cheap...But Toilet Paper is Expensive, he tries to wrap the entirety of the island around the head of one passive spectator, denying multiple entry points and causing unnecessary confusion.
		Chinese Box is the less interesting of the two films, largely because it's the most conventional and overwritten.
		Chinese Box (disc one), presented in an "unrated director's cut,"has a slight edge on Life Is Cheap (disc two)--the later film's teeming, detail-crammed mise-en-scène perhaps required more attention than the more austere (and more obscure) B feature.

	Images - Chinese Box
		Chinese Box, possessing both the aesthetic fancies of Greenaway and the music video chic of Irma Vep, attains its own luminescence simply by realizing and sharpening the focus of an insatiable nostalgia: the loss of Hong Kong in July 1997, seen through the eyes of a dying British expatriate.
		Chinese Box, however, scalds with it own thought-out intelligence; the steely undertone of the political agenda puts the brains back into these Orientalist cinematic excursions.
		Chinese Box is a thinking picture; in contrast to Greenaway's riotous calligraphy and Assayas' fuzzy video-image scribbles, there is calculation, depth and sagacity before the ink hits the paper in Wayne Wang's film.

	DVD Verdict Review - Chinese Box: Signature Series
		The Chinese government leased the land to Britain in the mid-19th Century, a move forced by the First and Second Opium Wars.
		Returning Hong Kong to Chinese rule wouldn't be as simple as returning a people to their own culture; many citizens felt that the transition would bring Communism and cost them their civil liberties.
		Chinese Box and its accomplices are found guilty of three counts of tedium.

	DVD review of Chinese Box - DVD Town (Site not responding. Last check: )
		No matter that the British introduced representative government to Hong Kong during the latter stages of their rule mostly to give trouble to the Chinese authorities who would be inheriting the mantles of government--they all seemed to hope for some miracle that would keep Hong Kong in British hands.
		Jean is Chinese but speaks perfect English because of her academic upbringing, thereby making her what Hong Kong is--a fusion of Chinese and English sensibilities.
		“Chinese Box” is not a great film, but it is a thoughtful, provocative one that says a lot about modern history.

	Chinese Culture Box offers insight - Campus
		The Institute for Chinese Studies is offering "The Chinese Culture Box" - four different activity kits: art and writing, drama and music, history and geography, and numbers and games - to anyone who would like a deeper understanding of Chinese culture.

	Chinese Room Argument [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Chinese room argument - John Searle's (1980a) thought experiment and associated (1984) derivation - is one of the best known and widely credited counters to claims of artificial intelligence (AI), i.e., to claims that computers do or at least can (someday might) think.
		Whatever meaning Searle-in-the-room's computation might derive from the meaning of the Chinese symbols which he processes will not be intrinsic to the process or the processor but "observer relative," existing only in the minds of beholders such as the native Chinese speakers outside the room.
		To the Chinese room's champions - as to Searle himself - the experiment and allied argument have often seemed so obviously cogent and decisively victorious that doubts professed by naysayers have seemed discreditable and disingenuous attempts to salvage "strong AI" at all costs.

		The film's love story is somewhat aimless and ultimately unimportant, but Chinese Box (even the title suggests a place that holds secrets within its borders) remains a fascinating film in the semi-documentary tradition, capturing the psychology of its time and place with compelling immediacy.
		Local Chinese in Hong Kong were largely unable to understand the film, citing Wang fabricated facts (such as the demonstration students setting themselves on fire, or the suicide shooting at the club to protest the Chinese Handover) while the whole affair was directed at a foreign (international) market.
		Before "Chinese Box", Wang made an independent feature "Life is cheap...but toilet paper is expensive" and it was a wild rollercoaster ride of the Hong Kong.

		He banters with his photojournalist friend Jim (Ruben Blades) while eyeing Vivian (Gong Li), the woman he desperately loves, who unfortunately is in attendance with her boyfriend Chang (Michael Hui), a prominent businessman.
		In a soft, determined voice, he says his actions are a personal protest against the upcoming loss of personal and cultural freedom and shoots himself.
		Chinese Box is about the paradoxes -- social, political, cultural, economic -- that shape Hong Kong, and these co-existing contradictions are at the heart of director Wayne Wang's ambitious portrait of his birthplace.

		There is a kind of rack within the roasting box into which you can load the meat and, in fact, strap it into place; it keeps the flesh off the bottom of the oven and allows the heat to surround the pork completely.
		The hams inside the box were golden and sweating and soft, and smelled divine.

	Love and politics mix in beautiful "Chinese Box"
		The basic story in Wang’s new film "Chinese Box" is one that ordinarily I would say did not need to be made again.
		Filmed in Hong Kong in 1997 during the months before the island reverted from British to Chinese rule, "Chinese Box" vibrates with the excitement of a city on the verge of quiet revolution.
		It is fitting that "Chinese Box" follows last week’s screening at the Fountain Theatre of Martin Scorsese’s "Mean Streets," a film Wang clearly owes a debt to.

		This is somewhat like playing with a magic box: first you pack the specific problem and related factors into a box and then fit it into larger boxes with related problems in different levels.
		Strategically, what Chinese leaders admire most and strive hard to achieve is emulating the masterly Buddha in engaging his opponent.
		The characteristic of Chinese strategic thinking is that the Chinese do not want to tackle an issue as such but would rather place it in a wider context and spend more time seeking a solution.

		That's why Chinese Box is such a refreshingly raw, emotional odyssey: it allows the Asian-American auteur to engage his cultural-political ardor within an affecting, neo-realistic framework.
		Like Welcome to Sarajevo, The Year of Living Dangerously, and Under Fire, Chinese Box focuses on a Western journalist enmeshed in the political machinery of a changing foreign landscape.
		Based on a story created by Wang, Paul Theroux, and screenwriter Jean-Claude Carrière (Luis Buñuel's frequent collaborator), Chinese Box hangs on the dislocation of its protagonist as he bounces among women, cultures, and classes, seeking closure in his waning hours.

		Various television monitors spout interviews and news, each of which tells only part of the story; in the case of two suicides who protested the Chinese takeover with their deaths, it records the grandiose but ultimately inconsequential acts.
		The title seems to refer to the reality of Hong Kong which can never be completely understood, for the city opens with the complexity of a Chinese box, and the realities of its inhabitants often do not overlap.
		Despite some of its contrivances, Chinese Box is a fascinating film, especially if you can live with the ideas that most answers are always tentative and that reality is just your version of things.

		The new "Chinese Box" -- written by Jean-Claude Carriere -- takes the pulse of Wang's former homeland at a historical turning point, the return of the former British colony to mainland China.
		A Chinese who might be completely innocent but doesn't speak a word of English is assigned an English lawyer and has no idea of what's going on, and they don't care.
