Mo gong (2006)
A Chinese movie with Japanese taste
This movie is based on comic or in Asia popular with name manga. So the time setting, all the cast in this movie is just fiction. But maybe, the author just inspired from great Chinnese history. Especially with a hero name Zhuge Liang. Why? Because there's a lot of common between Zhuge Liang and main cast in this movie Ge Li. Ge Li is a wonderful hero that can beat thousands of enemy troops with only 400 hundred soldiers. He knows exactly how to defend a city and he knows how to build o fortress less than a week. Maybe he knows all war strategies and tactics. But he also has one little problem, he is to idealistic. Maybe what happen in the movie is also happen in our present life today. No one could really good to everybody. Good for who? No one could express his universal love just like bible said. When a man tried to do that, everybody around him will looking for a way to make him fall. That's all. I love the movie.
The Departed (2006)
Disappointment
When I heard Scorsese made this movie, i was very excited. Because one thing that i know, Departed will be an adaptation of my favorite Hongkong movie "Infernal Affairs" or "Wu Jian Dao". And when I read a magazine, the director denied and said it's only inspired by. So my expectation flew away. But all my dream has gone when I saw "Departed". It's all the same. Sorry, spoiler, how the boss gang died, how the captain died, how the undercover died, all the same. In short, all the important scene, are all the same. Maybe, they have different ending but if you have seen "Wu Jian Dao", "The Departed" just only follower. No need a big name like Scorsese just to remake an Asian movie. One thing, "The Departed" has lost the thrill that "Wu Jian Dao" have.
Tung mung kei yuen (2005)
Adulthood and the consequences
This is a wonderful movie acted by Andy Lau. A wonderful drama about how to be a man. You can see a great performance by Andy Lau and Karen Mok. And you also can see a great make up team just like in "Love On A Diet". The story very simple. A boy who hated his stepmother one day got some liquid thing from an old botanical man. This liquid thing can make a piece of plant become a very big tree in a short time. When he wake up in the next morning he found himself become an adult. At the beginning, he very happy. But the next day, he found himself older. And when he met the botanical, the botanical man said very wisely. Time can not backward. One thing that we can conclude from the story, manhood have they own consequences, responsibilities and they own pleasure. What a wonderful life.
