Jiang shan mei ren (2008)
Love is in the air
This movie was quite excellent and touched my heart. Fei Yang, the selfless young dame from Chinese royalty leaves her life of splendor just to meet her "prince". That, to me, is interesting and also romantic. Perhaps it was a stupid thing to do. As a Chinese, I certainly know how difficult it is for people in my culture to throw away their wealth just to be with someone that doesn't have anything other than their skills as an artisan. For all the Chinese people that I have met in life, wealth is their number one priority. It is touching to see a story where the characters yearn to live beyond the superficial. The story is actually a tragedy because at the end, Fei Yang must endure her life alone. All people that she loved, including here prince are killed in the war. This one made me cry.
One Missed Call (2008)
Good sound effects but ultimately a letdown
This movie makes kids scared of hand phones, so apologies must be made to those phones' sellers. The ending of the movie isn't clear. It makes people a little angry and regret the time they spent to buy tickets and sit in the theater like a couch potato. Look at those ratings, man! Anyway, the sound effects were interesting. It made my bro sit quietly for a change.
What was the deal with that piece of rock candy that they found in the mouths of all the victims? i think it may perhaps reveal something a little bit disturbing about the makers of this movie. Jack Andrew is a dead ringer for a Ben Affleck look alike. they should do a remake of some other Japanese cellphones horror movies and have Ben play Jack's evil alter ego. That would be more original.
