Haha okay i just watched it last night too...
Hmm as mentioned, cinematographically it is breath taking. I like
especially the scenes where the little girl meets the goddess the
first time. Every scene has a lot of thought and design put into
it, and looks like they are all meant to be eventually a still
poster, the colours, the lines, fabulous.
Storyline wise... still acceptable ba. I think if the whole story
is condensed into a fantasy story, it has a very 'neil gaiman' tone
to it - whimsical, intense and at the same time, light
hearted.
Script wise... damn sucks lah. Very poseur script, where every
character tries very hard to sound cheem and 'artistic' but comes
across like they are speaking bad chinese. Actually all of them
have strange accent.
Think Cecilia cheung lost a bit of weight for this movie. He whole
face looks thin. usually I feel she is slim but her face a bit
round. But I think she carried off the role pretty well. I like the
goddess though (is it her too?) the way the goddess hair floats
above her with that rotating halo - brand new must-have hair
accesory!
Mmm.. very funny.. the audience kept laughing at parts of the
movie. Err inappropriate parts.
I like the general more than the slave - yalah slave handsome lah
but.. there's something so insanely amoral about the General leh -
he doesn't let unimportant triffles like THE TRUTH get into the way
of what he wants. Hehee..
