Asians Azns
Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010Time to indulge the Eastern culture.
Just saw a movie poster off a blog for Wang Kar Wai’s collaboration with most successful martial arts choreographer Yuen Wo Ping (Kill Bill, the Matrix, and any other blockbuster kung-fu flick you can recall):
…it’s too bad the title really sucks.
If you haven’t seen Wong Kar Wai’s other movies, I would highly suggest it. A friend referred “In the Mood for Love”, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was visually and emotionally stimulating– Maggie Cheung looking amazing in her gorgeous textiles of mandarin dresses, and Tony Leung sort of just is himself: the quiet, unassuming, but mysteriously seductive man. If you’ve seen Ang Lee’s “Lust, Caution”– well, the sexual brutality might be the opposite of subtle nuances of emotional conflict in “In the Mood”, but the nature of its emotional complexity and the depth of how it portrays human nature and love is equally impressive. A characteristic of this portrayal tends to show how the power of love may end up betraying oneself; and this is tortuously, deliciously agonizing.
