one way to get these kinds of movies on dvd is to go to a
local chinatown, if you live near a large city. i found
battle royal six months before it was released globally.
and hero is amazing, resemblance to crouching tiger
notwithstanding. probably the best of this particular genre
of martial arts movies (forgot the name, but crouching tiger
is part as well, hence the overall resemblance).

i just finished watching musa...and it's another great film
- i liked hero more tho.

the last scene (it was a battle lasting for some 20 minutes)
was way too long, too much blood and it was too much focused
on fighting imo...though it is an war film heh.
i'll definitely watch it again, actually i enjoyed it so
much im going to watch hero again now :)

i liked hero... but it was a little dissapointing for me
becuase i didn't quite agree with the moral of the story

Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung were excelent as usual... I
cant wait for Wong Kar Wai's 2046 to be released.

Hero

they over dramatized in musa, it kind of turned me off, but
it is nicely done

and it is based on fairy tales as hero or crounching
tigerhidden dragon...its more like an chinese version of
gladiator :)
way better ofcourse haha

it should be released fairly soon, very little is known
about it though and its been in production for over 5 years
i think. Its kind of a sci-fi sequal to In The Mood For
Love.

I really want to see Raise the Red Lantern which is meant to
be Yimou's best film, which stars Gong Li

yes, the moral is a bit distubing, all the self sacrifice,
it's pretty propaganda, apparantly the chinese government
funded
absolutely beautiful though
dont forget to mention the swords sounding, though i doubt
wether those sounds are too realistic (yes i know you cant
fight on a lake either)

just out here for two weeks
