After another full day of camp, (which makes it about 20 hours of lectures in 2 days) I finally managed to go catch the eagerly anticipated Curse of the Golden Flower. Went to watch it with Stanley, Hanlin, Tiankai and Samkoh right after camp. We were let off at about 630, then we rushed (sorta) for the 650 show and we made it! To my surprise.
It was.........okay. Not jaw-droppingly fantastic, but not bad.
Two words that can be used to describe it is 'ci4 yan3'. The garish colours totally fill the whole screen. It's like watching a kaleidoscope -_-
Of course, the review can't finish without the mentioning of two things.
One: Jay Chou. His acting is still quite emotionless; he tries, but can't pull it off yet. He's still raw. One classic scene was a fight scene where the cries and grunts continue and we just see blurred snapshots of him, and the funniest was when they showed a closeup and he puckers his lips (for what I don't know). Lol.
Two: The excessive showcase of cleavage. Precisely what its use in the movie? None whatsoever. It's like a requirement for the actresses in the movie to be at least a certain cup size -_- And yes it did become an eyesore after awhile. Really! You can ask Stan and Hanlin.
Perhaps I shall do an analysis of the plot tomorrow. After much discussion after the movie, we all came to the conclusion that we don't get it. (y)
