剧情介绍
影片主人公是一个名叫伊芙的9岁女孩，她生长在温哥华一个传统的中国移民家庭。伊芙出生的那一年是中国传统上的“火马”年，因此她生性敏感早熟，有着狂野的想象力。在伊芙的家里，到处弥漫着孔子的思想和迷信的困扰。伊芙11岁的姊姊Karena刻板而独断，是虔诚的天主教徒。而伊芙则把佛教和天主教搅和在了一起。于是她们的生活变成了一个幻想中的大灾难——圣人和文化的混战。
《伊芙与火马》以夸张、幽默的手法，讲述了一个年轻女孩孤独的童年时光，和在充满困惑的世界中努力成长的感人旅程。故事震撼观众的心灵。本片曾参加今年9月的多伦多国际电影节。 Chinese-Canadian Eve Eng was born in 1966, in the year of the fire horse. In Chinese culture, fire horse children are notorious for being troublesome. In 1975, nine year old Eve is looking for some meaning for her life, especially after her mother, May-Lin Eng, miscarries, and her paternal grandmother passes away, the latter event particularly concerning not so much for the event itself but the circumstances leading to the death. The Engs follow traditional Buddhist philosophy, primarily as a cultural tradition. While her husband Frank Eng is away in China dealing with his mother's burial, May-Lin doesn't stop their eldest daughter, Karena Eng, from pursuing knowledge of and eventual faith in Christianity, most specifically Catholicism. May-Lin sees it as a cushion for ensuring a good life and good after-life, as much of Christian teaching follows that of Buddhism anyway. Eve follows in her sister's footsteps. While Karena becomes a devout Catholic to the expense of her Buddhist upbringing, Eve takes whatever she can from wherever she can to apply to her life for it to make sense, often with disastrous or confusing results. It isn't until she comes face to face with the fire horse that life becomes a little more understandable for Eve.

还凑合吧 本来是冲着邬君梅去看的，结果她戏份不多
分高可能是高在文化冲突上
而伊芙则把佛教和天主教搅和在了一起。于是她们的生活变成了一个幻想中的大灾难——圣人和文化的混战。
挺好看，小孩對於半懂半不懂的宗教信仰想像出來的畫面很奇幻，有趣且無辜。
diasporic family in Canada. fun and inspiring~
没字幕啊
太可爱了；文化冲突很有趣味
我以为姐姐一开始对耶稣感兴趣是因为画册里她和暗恋的印度小男孩的化身呢
a convert movie?
这种电影就应该是那种不小心在电视上瞟到然后看完也不知道名字但会记得的那种
还是因为地域给5星吧~嗯~
孩子的眼里，任何事情都可以是有新鲜而有意思的，都是美好的……毁掉这一切的只有大人~~
有點不太懂.金魚橋段被MTV效仿了.
很喜欢这个名字，出生于火马年的女孩。
