That awesome scene with the dishsoap is what came to my mind whenever my high-school English teacher would start ranting about anthropomorphism in class.

I love Chung King Express. I love how Tony talks to the soap about wasting away. I've always wondered if that part was improvised. In the mood for love was visually stunning and had great acting but the pace can make you want to drive nails through your eyes. I have rewatched it and though it is still slow going as the first time I saw it in the movie theater I had an opportunity to observe how gorgeous the movie is. I enjoyed 3 iron as well and films like this as well as films like sympathy for lady vengeance makes me so excited to see these types of movies coming out of Korea. Not surprised if broad korean audience can't appreciate. These are not mass oriented films. My personal favorite Johnny Depp film has to be Ed Wood. The acting is unbeatable. Johnny Depp plays Ed Wood with non-ironic earnestness and sweetness. Love the discourse here about films.

Korean critics say of DWar~ compared to their disdain for Mr KKD?!? lol" Oh, South Korea and the States agree on D-War. It's extremely not good. Actually I think D-War is the equivalent of Creed or full-bore mullets. And it probably led to mad cow disease too. ;) “So sort of back to topic, again what did the S.

And usually it’s that one or two movies which you really connect with, and say that’s *my* WKW movie. Favorite individual moments and all that. On a meta-continental-idol level, Kimura Takuya romancing Faye Wong — misfits, robots, lovers as a stalemate across another writer’s unresolved millenniums — was pure *squee* for me! Perfect perfect perfect!!" So so true, perfect is the word. I don't passionately love half of WKW's , but in each of his movie there's sth striking some chords in me. His movies r all worthwhile to sit through or rewatch even if it's just for that ONE genius scene he can create. In the Mood had an almost nonexistant plot, but just to see Maggie and Tony blasting their electric glances walking back and forth that dingy alley for some wonton noodle soup was magic already. To blatantly show my age, I was a teen when ChungKing was out, sneaked in to watch it in our school uniforms and that scene of Tony talking to Garfield/soap was the cutest scene ever. 2046 understandably will be bigger than big in production that went on for years (my cousin did her whole college education whilst) AND kimura + Faye (their scenes in 2046 r so magical with a pure innocence I've never seen fr Kimura , must be the presence of Faye's aura) and all the big intriguing names in a HK movie, too bad it had boring Miss ZYZ being herself....still I think to many appreciative movie goers, it filled its hype.
