Mrs. Fat is slowly succumbing to cancer, but her biggest worry is her only child, the 30-year-old Bee. Possessing the mind of a toddler but the hormonal urges of a sexually aroused rhino, Bee finds himself in trouble with the gangster boyfriend of his neighbor May. After the thug is killed for stealing some heroin, the pregnant May becomes severely disabled -- and after Bee's real mother dies, the surrogate mother for her new friend.

Crying Heart Audience Reviews

VividSimon Simply Perfect
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Joseph P. Ulibas Crying Heart (1999) is a rare drama picture from director Jing Wong. The movie follows the life of a mother Mrs. Fat(Deannie Yip) and her mentally handicapped son Bee (Patrick Tam). Bee has very few friends and Mrs. Fat does everything she can so Bee wont be placed in a special home. She tries to prepare Bee for life in case something should happen to her. A neighbor May (Suki Kwan) likes to tease Bee but she feels guilty about it because he's so slow. One day, all three of their lives are changed forever.I didn't know Jing Wong could make such heart heavy dramas. I love in slapstick comedies and parodies. But this film is very melodramatic and heartfelt. Be sure to have the tissue box nearby.Highly recommended
Full Tense This is an incredibly moving film. The first half deals with a dying single mother's desperate struggle to ensure the future of her retarded son (Bee), while the second half focuses on the son's struggle. There are interesting portrayals of how society tends to mistreat the desperate and the not so fortunate. There is irony when May, who is one of these people and the subject of Bee's infatuation, finds herself in the opposite end of the spectrum. This film is excellently acted, you can't help but care for the characters, and it's also very believable, which makes it incredibly moving. Thoroughly recommended.. be forewarned though, a supply of tissues might come in handy! 10/10
