Spacked Out's director
| I watched Spacked Out first and the quality of that film motivated me to watch this one immediately afterwards. I expected more behind the scenes gossip about the HK industry but this was a VERY nice movie. I don't understand the ending however. |

Unsparing portrait of an actor
Unsparing portrait of an actor
|
Down through the years, we have seen many great films about the movie industry, ranging from Billy Wilder's "Sunset Boulevard" to Francois Truffaut's "Day for Night" to Robert Altman's "The Player". For the movie buff, all of them are essential viewing and provide real insights into how our beloved movie magic is created. None of these films, however, can rival "My Name is Fame" in its engrossing depiction of the craft of the movie actor. Through this movie, we see the daily trials and travails of a veteran actor who hates to settle for the inept, second-rate dreck that we see in all too many of our movies and TV shows. He wants everyone around him in the collaborative world of film to set the bar as high as he does for his own work. He rages at the world for its willingness to compromise. This is the role for which Lau Ching Wan was born to play! His hang-dog looks coupled with his fiery intensity and intelligence are the perfect match for the down-on-his-luck actor he inhabits here. Huo Si Yan is equally impressive in her role as the up-and-coming starlet. Indeed, the subtlety with which she handles her character's contradictions is truly remarkable. Anyone who loves movies will love "My Name is Fame". It is honest, rueful, funny, and heartbreaking all at once. I recommend it very highly for a mature audience. |
