Director's statement: GUIDANCE explores the behavior of a flawed strong female character. This film is a catalyst for self-examination, by engaging our active participation. This is why GUIDANCE uses familiar story elements: to allow us to step on the characters’ shoulder and watch them make the decisions we would likely make, maybe flawed or otherwise. What they and we see and experience, particularly in those final moments, can illuminate how we truly perceive love, vengeance and forgiveness. GUIDANCE explores new territory in Chinese cinema by challenging perceptions of what defines “authentic” Chinese Arthouse films.
The message was supposed to be something like "If we keep on destroying the planet, it will try to get reed of us, so let's change our ways.". But because of the ending it resulted in something more like "The human power to conquer the nature trough technology and our intelligence is unlimited". which is pretty much the opposite. Real tags should be: Yuan Yuan is annoying, evolution can take just seconds apparently, exposition, "Chinese people and their army are magnific, amazing OMG the best", "fat people always eat, walk slow , are clumsy ect" cliché.
