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

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. |

Beijing rocks, but this film doesn't
|
Beijing rocks is a Hongkong made dramatisation about the Beijing underground rock scene. Beijing rocks tries to capture the real Beijing rock feeling, but failes to bring it to the screen. Although Beijing rocks is not supposed to be a documentary of Chinese rock but a love story happening in Beijing with a rock flavour, still I'd personally liked to see more a lot more real yaogun stuff in the movie. The film's music score features some good pieces of music, mainly songs by the band Zi Yue. Overall, it's a pretty good drama, but not really worth the name "Beijing rocks". |
