curse of the golden flower
that's the english title... the chinese title is man cheng jin dai huang jin jia... please, don't ask me what it means cause i wouldn't know hahaha...anyway... have you seen this movie? it was on your local cinema a little while ago... well, i missed it so i bought the dvd and watched it at home...
first time i saw the ad on one billboard not long after i arrived in jakarta early jan... the pictures instantly grabbed my attention... the leading actor, Chow Yun Fat is my all-time fave actor... i remember watching lots of his movies when i was a kid... my favourite? hong kong tv series called 'The Bund'... again that's the english title... i knew it by Shanghai tan which means Shanghai Beach... set in 1930's Shanghai...
the leading actress is Gong Li... who also starred in famous 'Memoirs of a Geisha' a year ago...
too busy catching up with friends, i missed watching it in cinema... so i have to wait until the dvd is out... finally, i can watch it!!!... good entertainment!!! if you want to watch a movie, this could be a good option...
usually i like a happy ending... this movie doesn't meet that criteria though... but the costumes!!! oh my... so gorgeous!!! and i think boys will like this movie too!!!... you'll know what i mean when you watch it... *wink*
reviews are predicting that it will win some awards... i think definitely in costumes... and probably in best international movie...
so go and watch it now... check out some details like synopsis, some trailers, photo galleries, some reviews and more at its official website...
happy watching!!
