mymiridon Chibito7 Minielf I haven't seen Curse of the Golden Flower yet. Isn't it based on one of those Tang dynasty stories? In any case, it isn't really genuine Chinese cinema, since it's been stylised and simplified for English audiences. Zhang Yimou's previous works, like Hero or House of Flying Daggers were like that too. The films that generally appear at the box offices in Hong Kong or China almost nevet make it overseas. Yeah, I think Curse Of The Golden Flower was meant to be based on them, or something like that. Jay Chou can act better than I thought he could; personally I think he makes a better actor than singer, but then again, I've never been too keen on his music, lol. Anyway, the film is pretty typical, but it wasn't too bad. It's quite similiar to House of Flying Daggers, if you don't think about the colours they use. Hero will always be one of my favourite films though. 3nodding What's this curse of the Golden flower about. Is this Jay Chou person in it? I have house of flying daggers on dvd... It was ... not what i expected. Hero was good though. @babi: ... you grammar... it's really bad. I'm not too sure what Curse of the Golden Flower is about either. I just looked up the film on Wiki and found out it's not set in the Tang dynasty, but rather in the Five Dynasties/Ten kingdoms period, which makes it a little anachronistic because there weren't really emperors in that time. Plus some of the costumes the main characters wore don't fit the time period the film is supposedly set in. And yeah Jay Chou is one of the main actors in it. If you've seen the Initial D live action movie you would have seen Jay Chou as Takumi. I haven't seen House of Flying Daggers but I have seen Hero and just you and Chibito I loved it. It's one of my favourite martial arts films. Babi: Orly? rolleyes Gonna brush up on your grammar only when you get to university? I think by then it'll be far too late for that. You still have 5 years of high school to go, and I don't think you can survive for that long with the standard of grammar you're displaying to us here. pirate

@Mini: Mini-kun, pleeeeease, you of all people, don't call me Chibito! gonk Aaaah, it's weird coming from your mouth. whee You DO realise I'm B&B, right? xd
But anyway, names aside, *cough* yes, Hero was fantastic. I just thought the colours, how one story is set within another, it was all fantastic. 3nodding I have it on DVD, and I just... yah, I love it. xd Can't enthuse about it enough.
A brief synopsis on the Curse Of The Golden Flower: The Emperor has three songs, his eldest from a previous marriage to a supposedly dead wife, and his second and third sons from his current wife, the Queen. The Queen has been having an affair with her step son (the heir to the throne, technically not her son) for about three years, and her relationship with her husband, the King, is strained, although they both think the King has no idea about the affair - meanwhile, the King is slowly poisoning his wife. The second son is extremely loyal to his mother, and she favours him the most out of her two sons (this is Jay). This son is also the better fighter and tends to lead his country rather than his elder brother; his elder brother doesn't even want the throne. The third son is pretty much forgotten about, and looks innocent and cute on the outside.
That's all what happens at the start of the film, so I haven't given away what happens. It kind of starts in the middle of his war between them all. confused A lot of people die.
@Babi: Lazy. *sticks tongue out* Lol, joke. *pat pat*

Some countries split high school into junior and upper high, whilst others split it into primary, middle and high school. Babi lives in Canada which should have a 6 year high school curriculum. He's in grade 8 now so he has at least 4 1/2 years to go. B&B: Sorry I didn't know you were B&B. xd Unlike Sin or Sapphire I didn't see the post where you announced your new user name. Babi: Year 12? Again that's a bit too late to brush up your grammar, as by then everything you do will count towards your university entrance score. And if Canada has a British style GCSE exam system, even brushing them up by year 10 will be too late. pirate

I don't know if anyone realize this but the two main characters are brother and sister. burning_eyes
