It was pretty good
|
I just recently saw this movie yesterday on one of those Internation Film Channels and I really enjoyed the storyline entirely. The cast was perfect in everyway. The ONLY things I really didn't like was at how confusing it was when flashbacks occured during the movie, and how the subtitles kind of misleads you in the storyline. I also disliked how the movie flowed in three different ways instead of focusing straight down one path. And all of that adds up to complete misunderstandings. I suggest that if you do get this movie, that you watch it over a couple of times to get the story right. Other than that, the movies great. |

Movie for a Quite Afternoon
|
A story about mid-life crisis of Jacky Cheung and Anita Mui (who died in 2003 of cancer). What would it be like teaching Chinese poetry for 20 years, reciting Li Bei, Du Fu and Su Dong-Po's poems, but have never seen Yangtze River? There seems to be more excitement with his student Karena Lam than anything in Jacky's life. Definitely not a hollywood movie. |

Boring

I love all three main cast but this movie is so boring. I didnt think Karena deserve to will best support actress award. Her acting is ok and plus that is such an easy role. |

a bit bored
|
The media makes a big issue about the kissing scene between Jacky and Karena. I think this is a typical HK thought about sexuality. Oh, she is so young, and he is so old. A little bit naive. Now about the film. Do not expect this film is kind of "lolita". It's way far from that. Actually it's a bit boring and not as good as woman, 40 (I don't recall the right name) |

Engrossing for the over 40's
|
This film definitely resonates with those who are around 40 and who are going through contemplative stage, mid-life crisis, self-doubt and who have similar experiences before. Anita Mui is the perfect status quo wife who hardly changed over the years. You can see and feel her dopey self. Jacky is the perfect non-impressive man, but lively Chinese literature teacher. They are both in a rut. And who as a student has never had a crush on one teacher ever ? Great movie. The most downplayed Jacky Cheung I have watched so far compared to his action movies. Never thought his voice in the classroom could be so --- so --- Chinese literaturish. If only I had him as teacher when I was younger. I think this movie has much better character development than In the mood for love though less well filmed. |

Boy was I looking forward to this film. Boy was I disappointed when the subtitles were too small even to read. |

Good movie
|
This is a good movie. But you probably have to watch the movie the second time to fully appreciate the quality of this movie. Karena Lam (Lin) is once again doing great job acting her role in this film. It would be really interesting to see how other people interpret the meaning of what Jacky Cheung said to Anita Mui at the final scene. |
