I began to doubt if god ever gave Kaige Chen a hand when he was shooting the classic FAREWELL MY CONCUBINE. He has gradually lost his powerful mind he ever had in filming.This movie is totally an exquisite photography show with geeky empty plots and unfitting dialogs.There are maybe few shots inspired you a moment,but that won't last long for the story is terribly depicted like a 10-year old kid are telling you a story.I give it 2 only for it's photography.Kaige Chen is running into commercial stuff,He went ever big cities he could think of to get this sucking movie hyped. I think god noticed this before and took his talent away.
