Darwin looks pained and disinterested, as if he'd like to pass on the world changing and just spend a quiet hour in the bathroom by himself (he had chronic stomach troubles). It's only after he examines his grief for Annie under a microscope that he's able to get over his writer's block. (See the 100 best movies of all time...

In the early decades of the 20th century, foreign residents of Shanghai - later followed by rich Chinese families - flocked to these hills for relief during the humid summers. They built sprawling houses complete with swimming pools, tennis courts and dance floors. After the communist takeover, Moganshan retreated into obscurity, with many of the mansions crumbling into ruin. But in the past decade, visitors have been drawn back to it by its serene...
