Watched damn a lot of movies the last 2 days. I watched Jet Li's "Huo Yuan Jia" yesterday, "I've been waiting so long" (c'est un film francais) and "April Snow" today.
Huo Yuan Jia is a definite must-watch! It made me feel proud to be a Chinese. Because of the power of Chinese gongfu. But i guess the film was a bit biased towards Chinese people. oh well.
"I've been waiting so long" and "April Snow" are very similar and different films. They both deal with extramarital affairs. The 2 leads have 10 year age gaps btwn them: IBWSL pairs a man with a woman 10 yrs his senior while bae yong jun is 10 yrs older than his female lead. In IBWSL, two ex-lovers meet again by chance when the woman returns to paris after having walked out on her lover 12 years ago. April snow brings the spouses of 2 pple who had an affair together and the grieving spouses actually get themselves into an affair.
But IBWSL was more boring for me than April Snow. With april snow, i could feel the pain of the characters while i was just waiting for action in IBWSL to go on (will the 2 leads decide to be together or what?).
Anyways, go watch Huo Yuan Jia!!!
