Anyone seen this musical movie?
At first, I thought, this will be interesting...a chinese musical!? I was expecting a poor not very arty and not very well put together kind of film as I have been disappointed by chinese films in the past.
However, this was a really good film in my opinion. It went beyond my expectations!
At the start I laughed by the incredulity of it all...it was kind of funny how it was kind of a Moulin Rouge take..but then it differed...it got interesting if not slightly confusing....A tale of bittersweet love...
It mixes, the past with the present, and the filming of a musical...it all somehow merges together very well.
And to top it off, not only are the songs great but the actors are pretty good too!
one from every corner of the asian world:
Takeshi Kaneshiro .... Lin Jian-dong (JAPAN/TAIWAN)
-plays an actor
Xun Zhou .... Sun Na (MAINLAND CHINA)
-plays an actor
Jacky Cheung .... Nie Wen (HK)
-plays the director
Jin-hee Ji .... Monty (KOREA)
-is a muse of some sort guiding the other characters along in their love problems
