Editorial Review:
Product Description
"What you learned is garbage," Mark Franklin's martial arts instructor tells him. "You have to relearn everything." So Mark practices hours on end, trying to master the skills that will give him the look and power of a tiger crashing down a mountainside. But that's not the only learning he'll experience during his two years in China. Each day brings a new clash between Mark's western ways and the age-old traditions of the Orient. Mark Salzman portrays Franklin in this exciting film based on his autobiographical book. "I really enjoyed 'Iron & Silk,' said Gene Siskel. "Salzman is one of the most engaging presences in a long time."

    In 1982, Salzman flew off to teach English in Changsha, China. He writes of bureaucrats, students and Cultural Revolution survivors, stripping none of their complexity and humanity. He's gentle with their idiocies, saving his sharpest barbs for himself (it's his pants that split from zipper to waist whilst demonstrating martial arts in Canton). Though dribs of history and drabs of classical lore seep through, this is mostly a personal tale, noted by the Los Angeles Times for "the charmingly unpretentious manner in which it penetrates a China inaccessible to other foreigners."

    Product Description

    "What you learned is garbage," Mark Franklin's martial arts instructor tells him. "You have to relearn everything." So Mark practices hours on end, trying to master the skills that will give him the look and power of a tiger crashing down a mountainside. But that's not the only learning he'll experience during his two years in China. Each day brings a new clash between Mark's western ways and the age-old traditions of the Orient. Mark Salzman portrays Franklin in this exciting film based on his autobiographical book. "I really enjoyed 'Iron & Silk,' said Gene Siskel. "Salzman is one of the most engaging presences in a long time."

    I was looking for this movie so long, and finally I found it. It talks about Kungfu, China in a different way from the other kungfu films. I read also the book by which the film is based on. try it.

    4 out of 5 stars Great Novel.......2007-03-08

    This book is great for Americans to read before going to China. It tells us of the author's experience in a comical way that makes it easy to understand him. It also talks a lot about martial arts-- enough to get you interested, but not too much that it's all he talks about. I highly recommend reading this book!

    5 out of 5 stars Love and adversity in a foriegn land.......2007-02-07

    This was such a great movie. Very down to earth. Based on the author's own real life, his performance as the staring role is actually quite good for being an unknown actor. The whole movie is very low budget, but with such a great story and such intriguing, real characters that it blows away many bigger films that try to do more.

    As a young 20-some year old that wants to visit the orient with many of the same expectations, I related very well to the main character and so this movie touched me more than most, but still a movie I would recommend to everyone.
