The BOLD, the Corrupt, and the Beautiful   Ｍovie Review   The most impressive and enjoyed movie this year.   The story and the making of it,   it is something which is very different. The firm tells the story of an all-female family running antiques business that is quite mysterious . I t's a suspense drama, concluding politics struggle, love and the social incidents happened in Taiwan. The BOLD satire on   important issues and make fun of it. The plot was quite complex   and fast-moving . I love the soundtrack   of   The BOLD ,its one of the highlights in this movie. And the breathtaking scenery that shot in gorgeous and loving detail. Overall,   The BOLD is exciting, creative, and meaningful—and well worth a few hours of your time.
