violence, love, and despair in moderrn day Vietnam
|
This is a tale of how poverty and despair lead to violence, destruction, and a loss of innocence. The cinematography and the use of color is excellent. A work of realism, this is not an easy movie to watch at times. My absolute favourite part is in the disco where the girl is slowly dancing to Radiohead's "Creep" ... the scene is made soft and lush by her beautiful face, smile, and hypnotic movements while the background is flashing with fast, sharp colored lights all around her. Tony Leung's performance as the poetic ganster is that of the tortured soul unable to escape his past, present, and slew of twisted relationships. While he engages in little dialogue in the movie, the little Vietnamese he speaks is solid. An art film to it's core, Cylco should not be missed by those who value an honest, unapologetic, and artful look at the world and the lives that move through it. |

Realistic life in Vietnam
|
So the story is not about Tony Leung. It is about another Vietnamese actor who is going through life in Vietnam as a Cyclo driver. Tony Leung works for the Madam in Vietnam Chinatown who owns the Cyclos and causing all the trouble for him. Tony Leung is one of her top pimps. Tony Leung is very visible though very little conversation as is the same for all other actors. An art film of some sort but my husband who is from Vietnam loved every moment of it because the story is so very very true. For those who need to be reminded the poverty and dire circumstances of Vietnam, this is a treasure. |

The synopsis is translated by the publisher of this film. It's printed on the back cover of the VCD box. If you've any complaint, you had better to find the right person. |

Who translated the synopsis?
|
Whoever translated the synopsis did a very terrible job. Asians are already stereotyped as having very strange ways of speaking and this proves it beyond any shadow of a doubt. The English version of the synopsis makes no sense at all, and whoever wrote it should learn how to speak, read and write English and go read a real movie review. In layman's terms, the person who translated that... |
