YesAsia Editorial Description
Director Mabel Cheung and screenwriter Alex Law, collaborators on the acclaimed The Soong Sisters and City of Glass, explore the underground Beijing music scene and its myriad individuals in Beijing Rocks, a rock and roll drama starring Shu Qi and Daniel Wu. Michael (Daniel Wu) is a Hong Kong-born, US-educated aspiring songwriter who meets and falls in love with Yang Yin (Shu Qi), a free-spirited groupie to brooding wannabe rock star Geng Le. But the road to love and stardom is fraught with the same difficulties and obstacles, and as a tender love triangle forms, each individual must ultimately choose between their art and their love. A touching and thoughtful romantic drama full of hope and bittersweet moments, Beijing Rocks also serves up a fascinating critique on the state of rock and roll in sugary pop-driven Asia. Gorgeously shot by Oscar-winning cinematographer Peter Pau (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), and featuring a wondrous star turn by leading lady Shu Qi, Beijing Rocks is an uncommon and accomplished film from the acclaimed filmmaking team of Mabel Cheung and Alex Law. Nominated for Best Picture at the 21st Hong Kong Film Awards.

Very Good
Very Good
| I thought this movie depicted the culture clash between HK and China very well. I saw the movie in mandarin which I do not understand, but reading the subtitles was not so bad. This is one of Shu Qi's better performances. I thought she really stood out in this movie from all the other actors. This movie shows that she can still act and stay sexy in a movie. |

loud music is not considered rock
loud music is not considered rock
| just because the music is loud does not mean that is rock and does not mean that is sounds good. this movie Beijing Rocks really does not have any plot in it. it is just about a guy named Michael who beat a guy to death and goes to Beijing to get away from the press and to try to write music. but he totally fails in writing music and he totally fails at facing the music. i really did not like this movie. i watched it a few times and still did not like it. Daniel Wu made a whole bunch of bad movies but i was too into him to realize it. that was just not a good choice. never pick someone to be your favorite based on their looks because he is actually ordinary and not that great. was just a waste on my hard earned dough man. i wish i could turn the hands of the clock back and buy some other great movies. there have been great movies and shows that have been coming out in 2003 and 2004, most of them are from Taiwan. |

Pseudo-art at it's best
| I really loved this film. So what if it's an overly colorful, pseudo-artsy, music video-like rendition of a superficial presentation of chinese rock music? It was still well-done, and one of the best movies to come out last year. Its attempt to truly convey what the rock music scene is like was valliant, but jaded by its simultaneous need to stick a cheesy romance angle in, although unless most films, even the romance angle was bearable in this movie. True, it's not artsy enought to garner good reviews, and not commercial enough to garner box office ratings. But it's hybrid Taiwan/China/Hong Kong ensemble cast and overly glamorous cinematic depiction may in itself serve as a statement about the direction of the increasingly commerical mainland rock scene. All in all, this is at least the best pseudo-artistic film I've ever seen. |
