BLOODY good show, and i mean BLOODY! pls people, when watching, do not focus on the storyline. this is mr yimou's film! if you focus too much on the storyline, you'll be disappointed! right, i shall 'promote' the show, even though it's 4 days late?
i went vivo today, spent my 2006 xmas watching prince jai so close up on the screen i could spot his pimple! >.< teehee (:
as i was saying, do not focus too much on the storyline, because basically, the storyline may seem complicating, but it's actually rather simple! focus on the BEAUTILFUL SETTINGS & PROPS! mygod, BLOODY BEAUTIFUL FILM ! no wonder my dad told me yimou's films are artsy! yes i know, kuku agn, i was nvr exposed to mr yimou's films before! LOL!
so, in my opinion, i feel that the show dedicated much of itself to gong li. yesh (: and emperor's a sick & violent man! prince jai is really filial, but sadly his golden-armoured troops is a failure! and supposedly crown prince is gay-looking, but at certain times, i must really praise his acting skills. the youngest prince. so ignorant, and URGH! cant stand emperor that sick shit. METAL BELT! are you nuts?! imperial doc's daughter; really great acting skills. ultimately, gong li's darn power! try acting trembling and all.. PRO! jielun improved his acting skills. it's much better than intial D, where he looked so awkward at times on screen!
beautiful beautiful beautiful film! i love prince jai's coat! dark blue with all the detailed embroideries! and i wish i own what gong li wore on the sets! mind you, what gong li had to wear on the set were so gold-ish and there were TONS of them somemore! the hairpins and stuffs! AHH, beautiful! and it irks me to think of the emperor. sick! i had to endure the sounds of whipping and stabbing and slashing. and many a times, blood splashed literary on almost every corner, while pools of blood soaked the grounds!!!! VIOLENCE & GORE; shd be rated NC-16!
i pity prince jai & his troops. stupid emperor; bloody murderer! humph! stupid emperor got powerful and skillful troops. GAH! and i LOVE the SHIELDS ! the very heavy(seems to be) shields that many men had to lift up!
SEE, i've finish rambling about the CURSE OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER, and gong li is awesome!
so, go catch the show, and dont complain the show's not that good, cos ure supposed to appreciate the artsy settings & props instead!
