DVD REVIEW:
This movie has
received rave reviews by many fans. For me, I can't give
this the A+ rating that some fans have given it. Some may
call this similar to a Wong War Kai movie and that it's
artistic. Here are a few reasons why I had problems with
this beautiful movie.
The movie is about
three characters. Two guys who love the same girl. One
guy is a playboy (Kwok) and the other is just a smart guy (Kaneshiro).
Unlike most love triangle films, this one is pretty interesting
how each of them are entirely different but somehow fate brought
these three individuals together.
Well, without
revealing who gets the girl, you will be taken into another
reality in the second hour. All of a sudden out of nowhere
you are then taken to a "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"
like story asking yourself, "What is going on?"
What is going
on? You really don't know until the fantasy reality
ends. So, in a way it's like watching a completely different
movie. Yes, Wong War Kai movies do that but this Hai Chung
Man movie takes it to an extreme.
But once you watch
everything, you start to understand what is going on and why the
fantasy reality was shown. The question is if you as a
viewer enjoyed this type of pacing in the movie.
Otherwise the movie is
beautiful and looks awesome on DVD. The music is typical
dialogue, so no expectations of major sound effects. As for
the DVD special features, just two trailers and Chinese/English
cast info.
So, it's a good movie
but with a transition to another storyline that some people will
enjoy and some people will dislike.
