yes, I have watched all three ...... this is the first time I
heard "lust caution" or crouching tiger described as having "depth"
....
can you eludicate on the elements that makes "lust caution" full
of "depth" for you ? ..... the sex scenes ? .... a naked tang wei ?
....
or what about "red cliff" ? .... zhuge liang fanning his pigeons
after their bath ? .... tony leung asking if they'll catch a cold ?
..... I dunno about you mate, but I was laughing at this and many
other scenes, as were the rest of the cinema .... or tell me what
the gu zheng music sounded like to you ? ..... do you dare say you
appreciated the meaningless strummings ? ....
not bad ... maybe we are catching up with bollywood ....
that's what happens when a movie tries to be so many things at
once ...... a bollywood style extravaganza ......
still 5/10 !
Ah.... My post didn't appear! Haizz got some rule about first 20
post... rats...
I was about to say "Red Cliff" is utter crap. It's like watching
"dynasty warriors" the movie. Who the hell would want to do that
when you can just play it at home rather than watch some director
play it out on the big screen!
Felt so sleepy after the first 20min but the horrendous
direction by John Woo kept me awake with laughter.
Tonnes can be done to salvate this film, firstly, they should
just get one scriptwriter to make sure there is proper script
continuity! There were areas where there were obvious differences
in the manner in which they spoke! One moment, they sound like how
people spoke in typical period dramas, the next moment, they
sounded like something out of a modern HK film. Super wtf!
The film could also have been a lot tighter. You can probably
cut out 1hr of the show and the audience would not have known the
difference. So many scenes in that film were damn extra and
unnecessary.
Now, the first and easiest thing they can do to improve the show
is to kill their sound designer. The sound track just destroys the
film, screaming at audience to tell them what this shot and scene
is all about. It's like "The Warlords" except way worse. That show
was another comedy.
About the depth present in "Lust, Caution" and "Crouching Tiger
Hidden Dragon", let me ask you first then. What did you manage to
see in the movie? Was it totally nothing at all apart from the
naked sex scenes? After that response, I can go on and give my
interpretation on some of the scenes that introduce some depth into
the characters and give the film that added dimension from the
usual two dimensional movies we see.
Not my intention to troll but to bring out points to
discuss.
