In The Mood For "Holiday", 14 October 2000

Author: CHI-14 from Hong Kong

It is a rare thing in Hong Kong Cinema. Quite experimental and thus difficult to be classified. But overall it is watchable and full of humor. Some movies try to make people laugh or cry, and some try to scare people, but this one tries to help people relax. In fact, the very loose structure really made me feel so relaxed when I was seeing the film. The cinematography, the music and even the acting also serve this purpose quite well. The narrative logic is not that important in this movie, and what really matters is the holiday mood. Adorable is also Leslie Cheung's performance, especially the long takes. In another aspect, this film also tries to challenge, but not reinforce, the social values of Hong Kong people, especially the character of Tony Leung. It's a good attempt, also brave enough, but of course, criticism is inevitable. In fact, so many negative comments I've heard about this movie. But to me, other than Kai Wai Wong's "In The Mood For Love", this is the best Hong Kong movie I've seen in this year. No doubt worth seeing.

Not That Good, 5 September 2004

Author: lia00027 from Indonesia

What I think this movie was not so good and closer with word "BAD". I have many reason to say it. First this movie is not enough good to showing the quality of the actors, second just look at the story line which absolutely very very bad and so useless.

No more than that, how can the Hong Kong actors lose with just only Masaya Kato. Yes, Kato was the only person that interesting in this film, even Leslie and Tony as the main character.

But I think At the end who should be with Kato is Faye and not Gigi, that is the most disappointed thing in this movie.

And why I think that this movie just to promote Okinawa island.
