you have ink [thumbsup]:D

 

watched at Lido today, enjoyed it.

 

its a WKW movie, not an Ip Man movie ... can see WKW's style (and wow !) in this movie, and also the usual theme of unfulfilled love

 

must admit zhang ziyi was impressive and the photography was also very good.

 

[thumbsup]

u need more than brain to appreciate wkw movie lah... need to have tt sense of appreciation of his art. guess the majority of movie goers dun have tt i presume from the comments i read. not gonna judge the grandmaster as i have yet to watch it, probably wun oso. last i watched his show is actualli in the mood for love, tony leung and maggie cheung. remember the repeated scene of tony leung and maggie cheung walkin past each other up n down the stairs in slow motion... actualli fail to complete it. i got the dvd, tried playin it 4 times but nv able to finish.... unless u can feel the FEEL in watchin tony leung smoke in slow motion(which i vaguely remember is abt 1 min plus for the scene), and when they walked pass each other in the stairs for the 7th times and u can feel everytime got different feeling in it(looks the same to me), else hard to appreciate his movie.

 

interesting note, in the mood for love is actualli the middle of the trilogy between, days of being wild 阿飞正传, and 2046.

oh, oso thanks to him for exceeding his film budget for ashes of time due to repeatedly delay in production, the entire cast have to shoot 1 nonsense film to bring in budget for it to carry on. turn out to be one of my fav funni shows. 射鵰英雄傳之東成西就

I guess my old school would be this :D:D

This is something new to me. I didn't know old school means touching the opponent's crotch. (See the animated hand on the actor's crotch standing on the left).

i thought the 东成西就 director is 刘镇伟. wkw is producer though.

yup, the movie was produced because wkw took too long to complete his ashes of time thus the whole cast of tt show are used to produce this movie to get additional budget to complete ashes of time. can say directly thanks to wkw also le mah

A very rojak movie, there are kungfu, romance, comedy elements in it, very arty farty type, can Zzzzz in cinema so better download so can fast forward [laugh]

Yes, good to watch if I want a arty film.... A different class from Jackie chan, Jet Li etc type of chop-kick-punch acrion flicks

It's action parts is more akin to some pseudo ballet with some kind of kungfu theme, lots of reflective dialogues and some deep moods...

Firstly, congrats to Ang Lee for bagging another academy award (Best Director) from "the life of pi".

For mainstream audience, Ang Lee is still the better choice.

that was 一线天 (played by 张震 ), he has a link with Gong Er but nothing much to do with Ip man, just another kung fu master during that time.

 

2) who is the beau of Gong Er? was it the guy on the train?!

not sure which one you were referring to.

cos no head no tail.. then suddenly she's was "engaged" [confused]
