Man cheng jin dai huang jin jia (2006)
A Movie to tell your friends about.
If you're like me you enjoy a well told story. This is one of those movies which exemplifies a well told story.
It brings truth to many of the proverbs and sayings we all know and will introduce some we may not have been aware of.
It's a movie about Relationships, Secrets, Power and Family. Based on Chinese History but with a character all it's own.
The Acting is superb and believable. The Costumes and Sets are breathtaking.
In the words of Yimou Zhang "Action is an instrument to tell the story" and he used many instruments to achieve the telling of this story.
A Chinese Proverb states "To know the road ahead, ask those coming back". I enjoyed this movie and feel it is well worth the price of admission and well worth what I paid to see it. You will want to watch it again once it is over.
Biteu (1997)
Beat has a message and should be seen.
I found this movie engaging. It's one of those movies I could watch a few times
It's the story of Min and his friends Tae Soo, Whan and Romy.
Min and Tae Soo are best friends and their world consists of fun and violence.
Min's mother decides she wants Min to further his education and decides to have Min transferred to another school. In the new school Min meets Whan and in an unexpected way they become friends.
Romy is introduced to Min in another unexpected way and she becomes the love interest.
The movie follows their relationships and consequences of their choices.
I myself believe it is a story that is plausible and shows the pressures upon, and avenues available to, young people.
