is simply absolutely gorgeous!!!!!
ok well not as gorgeous as hero last year(?). also the camerawork was not very good at parts.
but it's be hard to expect anything to match that masterpiece.
anyway
zhang ziyi was gorgeous. especially in that part after she and takeshi kaneshiro's character made love in the autumn meadows, and the camera pans over the two of them. so bloody gorgeous.
and the fight in the bamboo forest. bee-yoo-tee-ful.
the storyline was tried, tested and ultimately *slightly* cheesy.
(won't spoil it for those who haven't watched it but intend to.)
suffice to say that the movie is not called shi mian mai fu (literally ambush on multiple fronts) for nothing.
those who haven't watched it esp. choon and randy (who were supposed to join us but were caught up some way or other) HAVE to watch it.
if only for the art and the soundscapes.
