Blue Willow has screened in a number of Chinese classrooms. Here are a few comments by some of the teenage students:
"It's very perfect and very imaginative. I enjoy it very much. I think you (the director) make the film represents your love (of) Chinese history, enjoy the style of Chinese love and Chinese culture." (boy)
"In the end, I think someone's freedom is more important than any other things." (boy)
"I think the director conveys feeling that lovers will (be) together forever. From the film, I saw that as lovers we need to try and get along well together." (boy)
"In my opinions, from the film, I saw that as a family we need to try to get along well together. If parents have something (they) want to solve, they should discuss (it) with their children. They don't decide by themselves." (girl)
"I love this film and think the art work is very good." (girl)
"In this film, I saw that love doesn't have limits and parents should let their children find their own happiness. Of course, lovers will (be) together forever." (girl)
"When it was finished, I was very sad. I think family needs happiness. They should give freedom for their children." (girl)
"The director only use simple colour and simple people, but she can express colourful feelings. It's really excellent. From the film, I see that you should catch your love bravely when you meet (problems). Don't be afraid and give up." (girl)
