ONE OF THE GREATEST THIS YEAR - TRAILER

November 21st 2006 01:01
I can't stress enough the amount of excitement flowing inside me right now. I'm a huge fan of "Hero", and therefore expecting this movie, "Curse of the Golden Flower", to be one of this year's greatest.

Some might say, "I don't like Chinese movies". Well I demand you to give them a chance, cause they really know what a movie is all about, by mixing drama and action in correct doses.

Anyhow, just when you think it can't get any better, listen to this: Directed and Written by the maker of "Heroes" and "House of Flying Daggers", Acted by the cast in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". The best three movies in Chinese history mixed in one!


I know I'm the only one that's hyped by this, but what can I do? Obviously nothing.

Take a look at the new trailer by clicking here.

Hero was a beautiful movie. I'll look forward to this one. When is it being released?

Yes, er, well, it depends on the film. There's a lot of good stuff out of the East, that's for sure.

That looks fantastic - I adore Hero, so I will definitely check this one out. Do you know if it will have subtitles or be dubbed? I saw Hero both ways and preferred the subtitles.

Well, it looks ravishing, great colour palette and use of symmetry, but it there's too much CGI work going on these days for my tastes, and we've seen so many of these kinds of images time and time again ....
Gong Li is as stunning as ever (I remember having a big crush on here years ago when I first saw Ju Dou and then Raise the Red Lantern - both Zhang Yimou films).
Personally I much prefer the cinema of Wong Kar-wai, for me he is one of cinema's true visual poets.

Hello Adele!

Hero was a very beautiful movie, and touching at the same time. The east release some amazing movies, recently I saw Fearless with Jet Li. Once again I wasn't dissapointed.

Curse of the Golden Flower will have its premier the 14 December, so it's not too far away.


Adrienne, I sure am a foreign filmfan! Aren't you?

Hi Nina!

If Hero both was subbed and dubbed, this will probably be too, but promise me you will watch the subbed one. Otherwise the whole point and most of the feling is gone (for me anyway).

Thanks for stopping by!

Great to see you Bryn!

Indeed, nothing can match the colors of an eastern movie. I can agree with you that the images are pretty usual, since martial arts can't get so very different anymore, but there's always a surprise somewhere...

Gong Li looks amazing! She and Ziyi Zhang are my top favorites, they just doesn't get older... Last time I saw Gong Li was in Miami Vice, good movie (not great) but Gong made it better.

Hope to see more of you over here Bryn!

Hey Bryn! That's great coming from you!

To be perfectly honest, and I'm not saying this because of what you said, but the only avatar that made an impression on me, you know, that I could easily differ from miles away, was yours and Cibbuano's. True.

It's not often I get compliments on my avatar, so thanks!
