Curse of the Golden Flowers (7)

After thinking over and over~ I think I should give it a higher rate. Maybe it worth an 8. um.... My first impression after i just watched was, every single scene were so expensive and arty... and you would feel "value for money" for paying the ticket coz of the expensive scenes even though you may find the story wasn't great. I did think the art direction really strange... It was too much pomposity (dont know what's the exact terms in Eng, hehe. what i wanna say is turgid or coxcombical) rather than giving a pageantic feeling. I do like the art director's works before and kinda trust him saying he made the film looks very pomposity with a reason to emphesis the people who are coated with gold but having a contemptible mind. um... actually, the story didn't really make sense in order to create the amazing scenes. too many people came out from no where... The big breast were a bit too scary or too much emphesis by the advertisment and posters was another big problem... -_-

I have seen some shitty review from imdb (by some American) saying the movie has not enough Kong Fu scene -_- or the violent of the family wasn't make sense that kind of shit... -_- May I say why I found it okay as well? Most of the actors were acting good and I think the director is working good to hide Jay Chow's bad acting... every scene of him were either covered with helmets or making stupid face after killing people.... :D The typical relationship between the family members within the empire were well showing on screen. No one won the game at last.... um... all lost....
