that pic with the guy shooting the bow arrow, the one with the hat:p
Good thing I didn't see that at work:eek:
i give the story 2 out of 4 stars.
it was corny and predictable.
i give the cinematography 4/4
i give the costumes and settings 4/4
What did you think of the action?
action was ok. good at some points but wire fu.
Wuxia has a whole different standard of action then "chop socky". Wire fu is a given.Quote:

Of course, it looks like the American release is going to be chopped by about 20 minutes, which irks me to no end but seems to be the trend anymore.
Like Gene, I think Farewell My Concubine is definitely his best movie -- perhaps goes on a bit too long, but great performances by Leslie Cheung and Gong Li. I found The Emperor and the Assassin to be rather flat too.
