amazing portrayal of 'unconventional' love
unlike most lgbtq+ films, 'happy together' doesn't focus on the identity crisis that most others do (not to undermine the importance of exploring such a topic, but it's a breath of fresh air to see a different approach being taken, especially when you consider the attitudes towards homosexuality in 1990s hong kong).what makes 'happy together' so magical is the immersion it creates: loneliness, desperation, joy, forlornness, fondness, just to name a few. vicariously, you could feel the mutual frustration between the two characters and their frustration at, not their love, but how it manifests. rather than what is said, you ponder over what could have and should have been said instead.
'do you regret being with me?'
'damn right i do. i had no regrets until i met you. now my regrets could kill me.'
the contrast of what is being said vs what is being revealed through the narration and their actions is what breaks your heart. their toxicity is undeniable, and you know that they're better off without each other, but a small part of you both longs and dreads for po-wing to say 'let's start over.' when this doesn't happen, what are you supposed to feel?
cheung and leung's acting is certainly to be rewarded. this is my first watch of cheung, and my second watch of leung (after chungking express). they act devastatingly well, with leung somehow capturing his love for po-wing that he internalises, mostly with his acts of love and concern while his lover is in slumber or out of his sight.
as always, i adore wong kar wai's fluid direction, and the cinematography alone suffices as a reason to watch this. a beautiful film.

Calm After The Storm
The entire movie is focused on Xiao Jing and her struggles as a daughter of a parent that had a mental breakdown. Xiao Jing's mother has been living a stressful life at work and living in some delusion that her husband is coming home (they're divorced) and she continues to be in denial about this fact. The tipping point was when Xiao Jing was sent home from school when a classmate was found positive of covid. Xiao Jing never cared for her overbearing mother who was on the brink of losing control of everything in her life-- bills left unpaid, staring blankly at the wall at work and the only "normalcy" for her was her daughter. When Pin-Wen almost burned their house down, and she was taken to the hospital, Xiao Jing decided to take care of her mother.The storyline is a bit forlorn and the movie's pace is slow. But the director's intent is felt throughout the hour and a half. When Xiao Jing's mother's mental health started to improve and when her mother was finally ready to face the realities of life, she decided to find work (she was let go from the previous job) at a supermarket where she met Chen. Despite all the lies that the mother said about her previous work experience (she did not disclose the fact that she worked in a huge company and was let go), she also claimed that her husband died (he was very much alive but now lives with his new wife and son). While Xiao Jing's mother was busy acclimatizing herself at work and adjusting to working with others, Xiao Jing managed to convince her mother to finally sell their huge house to pay for the loans and the other debts that have piled up during her breakdown, and hospitalization. Medicated and adjusting to her work at the supermarket, Pin-Wen finally agreed to let go of the house and all her hopes of her husband to come back to her.
The storyline brings light to the struggles of women in transition and the difficulty of raising children on their own as well as their struggles with mental challenges and fighting off delusions and illusions. The title, The Falls is a metaphor. Pin-Wen when in her psychotic moments hears water rushing through like a waterfall. She tries to run away from the sound and the rising of water but cannot do so in her head... In the last 15 minutes to the end of the movie, Xiao Jing along with her friends had an accident on a school-related trip when water from the dam was released which caused the water to rise and for Xiao Jing to be swept away along with her friends. Pin-Wen receives a call about the accident and was advised to monitor the progress of the rescue operation via television. With her worried eyes, she watch as students were revived and taken by ambulances until the camera finds Xiao Jing assisted by one of the rescuers and the movie ends.
--
The story highlights the realization that mental issues are real and they can happen to anyone. With proper support from family members and medication, anyone with mental issues can live a normal life.

A Thousand Years of Good Prayers crosses generational and cultural boundaries. All people need to feel heard and understood. Misunderstandings and silence can lead to separation. The daughter in this movie has lived in the United States without seeing her parents for twelve years. After she divorces, and after the death of her mother, her father comes to visit from China. What follows is an uncomfortable slice of life focusing on two people who barely know each other.Yilung works at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. When her father comes to visit, she barely makes time to see him, rushing off to work and coming home late. The father doesn't tell her he loves her, but he goes out and buys a wok and cooks for her every night, shorthand for "I love you" in almost any language. During his daily walk to the park, he meets an older Iranian woman and they talk about their kids. In Chinese. In English. In Farsi. With no subtitles. Yet subtitles aren't needed as the parents love and concern for their children comes through in each word, making their conversations understandable to them and us.
The strain between father and daughter only tightens until a wall cracks and truths emerge. Healing doesn't come overnight as with any relationship. They begin to understand each other better, as do we.
This film is shot simply, with few sets. Each of the performances was natural as if we were watching real people face the days. Henry O's performance of a father trying to cross a generational barrier with his daughter and a language barrier with the people in town was sympathetic. The father could also be frustrating when he failed to realize his grown daughter had her own wants and needs when he wanted to find her a good husband so that she didn't fail twice. Faye Yu, for the most part, gave the difficult performance of a daughter avoiding her father, seemingly ungrateful, all the while holding in a secret that kept a great chasm between them.
A Thousand Years of Good Prayers is slow and narrow in focus and definitely not for everyone. It is a simple, thoughtful film concentrating almost exclusively on two people and how presumptions and lack of communication brought them to a place in their lives where both felt lonely and hurt. If you like slice of life films, especially about families, this might be one to try.

From Zero to, well, maybe a 4 or 5
Tai Chi Hero took up where Tai Chi Zero left off and promptly slid downhill from there. The gang was all back and added William Feng Shao Feng and Peter Stormare to try and shake things up a little.Yang Lu Chan (Jayden Yuan) and Chen Yu Niang (Angelababy) were in the middle of their nuptials when her ne'er do well brother, Chen Zai Yang (William Feng), showed up spoiling the mood. Fang Zi Jing (Eddie Peng) who was soundly beaten in the previous movie returned plotting revenge with some help from Duke Fleming (Peter Stormare) of the British East India Company.
That set-up sounds boring and unfortunately for me, this movie lacked the zaniness of Tai Chi Zero. Grandmaster Chen Chang Xing's (Tony Leung Ka Fai) character was developed more while he worked things through with his estranged son. Tony Leung Ka Fai did his best as the master of martial arts who had to come to grips with the mistakes he made with his child. The two main characters, Lu Chan and Yu Niang were stuck in much the same place without any conflict which drained the energy out of their scenes. Poor Jayden, a real-life martial arts champion, was unable to convey more than one perplexed expression. Unsurprisingly, there was no chemistry between he and Angelababy. The film focused more on the Grandmaster and his estranged son, possibly out of necessity.
Tai Chi Hero lacked a definitive villain, Zi Jing wasn't sinister or competent enough or engaged in the story enough to be much of a threat. Eddie Peng wasn't able to overcome the caricature and corner his character had been written into.
The story spent time flashing back to try and build the characters' and story's background but in the present time there was no urgency or significant development. There was no high stakes battle at the end. In fact, the ending felt rushed, too easily wrapped up, and anti-climactic.
There weren't as many fights or as inspired fights this time around. Lu Chan was trained by his wife and father-in-law which was to set him up to become the super Tai Chi Master but was lackluster as a viewing experience. The one grand battle was sped up and blurred which always seems like a cheat in a martial arts movie with a real martial artist in it.
The steampunk, pop-ups, and comic book style wackiness were largely gone in this sequel. Tai Chi Zero wasn't empirically a good movie, but it was a fun movie. Tai Chi Hero took much of the fun out, tried to replace it with heart, which ended up feeling more like hot air. I'd still recommend it to people who watched the two previous movies, even though this one limped across the finish line.

What’s the plot? Two teens have to live with their grandparents for a short period of time, but why does the old couple keep acting bizarre? All we need to add is a strange hole in a wall and a few other random plot aspects like: cheerleading, bullying, harassment, ghosts, wormhole theory, revenge of the grandpa. Most of it felt like an unnecessary filler.
Speaking of the hole, every scene that presented what’s inside was just laughably bad. The effects and styling was just ridiculous. Realistically speaking, they should have never shown the viewers what’s in it, and create a spooky atmosphere around the feeling of the unknown.
The dialogues are probably the thing that annoyed me the most. Am I an idiot? Did they truly have to explain every little detail to me through them? It was not hard to figure out, so by the point the characters were discussing it, I as a viewer was already aware of the situation they were talking about…
For the acting, not exactly convincing. For the younger cast it seemed like a lack of skill. Not as easy to judge the older actors. Maybe it was hard to build a solid performance on a script like that?
Overall, way too long for a story like this. Some plotlines were not needed and did not bring much to the story at all. It had its moments, and I cannot say I dislike every minute of it, but these few scenes that were interesting were not worth watching the whole 2 hour movie.

Bland
After watching A Sun, I had high hopes for this Taiwanese family drama. Unfortunately, this movie fell short of my expectations. At more than 2 hours long, it is long and the pacing is extremely slow. As mentioned in my headline, a one word summary of this movie would be: bland. Many dramatic events unfolded in this movie - worsening Covid situation, a mother's descent into insanity, realising you have a secret half brother etc yet it feels almost like nothing happened. The main character Xiao Jing faces these tragic events with a stoicism not usually seen in teenagers, making this film hard to believe. How many 17/18 year olds are able to stomach watching their mother succumb into the throes of psychosis without so much as an outburst or a cry for help? Not me definitely. It also doesn't help that Xiao Jing is able to so quickly flip the switch from rebellious teenager with a tenuous relationship with her mother to dutiful daughter, without so much as a single complaint. The conversations between mother and daughter feel so stilted and scripted they might as well have been reading off a teleprompter. Though strangely I felt that the only time where the dialogue was believable was during the arguments Xiao Jing and her mother had at the start. This is sad because Gingle Wang and Alyssa Chia have the acting chops to pull it off but even the best of acting cannot save the dialogue.This movie would have been more bearable had it been cut to 1.5 hours or shorter. At the end, I'm still not sure what this film is trying to convey. How strong a mother-daughter bond can be? Resilient teenagers? Importance of mental health during pandemic times? Or would it be not to play in rivers that are prone to flooding? Who knows? Your guess is as good as mine.
P.S: I would be grateful if anyone can tell me what the sound of waterfalls is meant to symbolize,

The CGI for the tiger not really look realistic. But it was good enough and doesn't really ruin the movie.
I don't really noticed any music except for the credit scene's song. As a cat lover, i noticed a lot of scenes with cats in it and i loved it
I love how Xiao Xue takes care of Nana, she doesn't treat her like a pet. But like her actual daughter (to the point that Nana thinks she's also a human)
The sismance was really good and Yang Guang's sidekicks did their job well too. The villain, ShenQi, i just can't sympathize with him, he's just weird.
Overall, it's a good movie to watch
The story was light, a little bit predictable and if you're a cat lover. You probably would like this.

I really cried a river?
All I gotta say is damn. this was sad and heartbreaking. i never experienced bullying myself but seeing this movie really shows that there are people experiencing the same as well and i'm very fortunate that i've met good people. I felt really bad for Yi Yao for what she had to go through and I was expecting something good outta Qi Ming but turns out this dude is just a coward who doesn't want to get involved with a diseased girl. Sunxi is an amazing character. He stood by her side no matter what even when people said she was the "murderer" he knew and believed her throughout the end. Even Qi Ming didn't believe her and he was supposed to be her friend who he knew since they were kids. When Yi Yao needed Qi Ming he wasn't there for her, which shows no matter how long you've known a friend they can wholeheartedly betray/leave you in a second.Anyways this movie is really good. I cried a lot and I watched this at 2AM so I'm worried that my eyes might be puffy the next day lol. But yeah I recommend if you're ready to cry or if u want to understand how bullying can affect a person's life.

A very classic romantic comedy type of movie
I totally adored this movie! First, we have a very clingy and loving type of bride who is abandoned on her wedding. She is so miserable and becomes viral while trying to find and talk to her groom. Her groom's father wants for his reasons to make her believe that the groom will come back and be together with her when the things calm down so he hires male lead to fool her. Male lead's job is to basically lie to her but while he does that he gets to know female lead and falls in love with her adorable character. Female lead teaches him a lifechanging lesson; how important honesty is.I don't want to say more. If you like classic, warm and cozy love stories then you should watch this movie!!! You won't regret it!

Loved it!
I was in-between dramas and didn't know what to watch, so I decided to look into movies on iQiyi. I'm a fan of the Chinese fantasy genre so naturally, the name and synopsis of this movie caught my attention. I had no idea what to expect since I didn't know any of the actors, nor did I know this was part of a sequel to previous movies. With that being said, I really enjoyed this - it's one of those movies where you don't have to think too much about the plot and just enjoy the ride.I think everyone did a great job acting wise and I liked all the characters. While the CGI could have been better (I mean, what Chinese movie or drama had you seen where the CGI was actually good lol), it also wasn't the worst I've seen. At least it wasn't annoying or horrible, which was all I ask for. There were elements of surprise, sentimental parts, as well as funny and light-hearted scenes. This movie definitely exceeded my expectations when all I was asking for was a movie that didn't suck haha. Overall, very well done!
Also, I feel like this movie has the same vibe as the Ying Yang Master movies on Netflix. If you're a fan of those two movies, then I'd highly recommend this one to you!

A fable about the pointlessness of conforming at all costs
WARNING: review is full of spoilers, and is basically an essay!TLDR: a fascinating exploration of 'fitting in' at the expense of one's authenticity.
Jung Hyun and Jun Seok like each other, but their romance is short-lived. Min Jae (Jung Hyun’s ‘friend’) senses there’s something going on between the pair, and so sets off rumours at their school, and then tells Jung Hyun about said rumours. In response, Jung Hyun distances himself from Jun Seok, and ultimately brings an end to their relationship.
What’s fascinating is that it’s not the homophobic society, nor Min Jae (who is trying to help his friend in a weirdly homophobic way), preventing the pair from being together. Rather, it's Jung Hyun’s need to conform that brings an end to their relationship. His need to conform is at odds with Jun Seok’s indifference to how others perceive him, and is conveyed subtly on multiple occasions. Perhaps most pertinently, given the title of this short film, the contrast between them is hinted at when Jun Seok asks Jung Hyun why he smokes, and he simply says ’Because…’ He has no real response, because he smokes purely to fit in with his classmates. In contrast, when Min Jae asks Jun Seok if he smokes, Jun Seok says, ‘Why, do I have to?’ He knows smoking is ‘cool’, but couldn't care less.
This all comes to a head as rumours are swirling and Min Jae has proffered his words of warning to Jung Hyun. Jung Hyun can’t stand the whispered judgment of his peers and so brings things to an end with Jun Seok, symbolically smoking with classmates we've never even seen before as he does so.
The film ends with the camera lingering on Jung Hyun standing alone miserably, gazing at his classmates as they happily chat away, completely oblivious to him. Melancholy music kicks in, and one can’t help but sense that Jung Hyun is starting to grasp that he has lost everything and gained nothing. He has ended things with Jun Seok at the expense of his authenticity and happiness, because he couldn’t stand being gossip fodder for his classmates. And yet as he looks around, it’s clear his peers never really cared about his personal life to begin with; it’s old news to them. However, the pain of ending things with Jun Seok will remain. But hey, at least maybe he’ll stop smoking…

Part 3 of Director Ang Lee trilogy on "Father Knows Best"
Director Lee’s trilogy ("Father Knows Best") in bringing together family members to create tension and tender comedic moments shine in this trio of PUSHING HANDS (1991), THE WEDDING BANQUET (1993). and Eat Drink Man Woman (1994).
I personally liked this more than the other two movies in Ang Lee's trilogy listed above! There are several more"twists" in this movie, which makes me like it better than the other two movies as well!
I also have to say that this movie made me SO HUNGRY watching it! In hindsight, I wonder if the director tried to use 'food' in this movie as a substitute for 'sex', since only one of the daughters was partaking of bedroom time as far as the audience is concerned at first.
Mr. Chu (Lung Sihung, the main lead for all three of Ang Lee's trilogy) is in this movie a widower who raises his three daughters all by himself, with a little assistance from the faithful food tester in the same restaurant he used to work, Old Wen (the late Wang Jui https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0910954/ , also see photo page for this movie on MDL).
Although he thinks that his daughters enjoy their Sunday dinner he religiously prepares for them, his daughters all dread this Sunday ritual/feast that Mr. Chu labors on every Sunday; partially from his taste buds going bad and the rest from his inability to talk/communicate with them. I personally know some fathers who have problems talking to their daughters, as they (like Mr. Chu) spends long hours working to care for them. The loss of his wife is definitely a strain on Mr. Chu's relationship with his daughters here.
I personally see Mr Chu missing his wife to the point of his daughters 'reminding' him of her; that would explain his being a father at a distance. I feel that he wants the best for them, but cannot always communicate this; hence, he does the only thing that he knows how to - cook for them!
His oldest daughter became a science teacher and his youngest daughter is just starting a first job at a Taipei fast-food place and his middle daughter works for an airline.
I am not going to cover anymore of the details of the movie, but talk about the interactions of the family members. There are several "twists" in this movie but I am only going to hit the major ones.
One of the first twists in this movie is the youngest daughter Jia-Ning (Yu-wen Wang https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0911096/) and her best friend's boyfriend; I saw this coming and see the absence of an actual mother figure in the Chu family as possibly causing this! her only male role model is loving but distant to her and her sisters.
She has a standoff-ish relationship with her immediate family as talked about above; her sisters could have helped her navigate this situation she finds herself in better had there been better communication in the family, especially since her future was drastically changed by what happened to her.
Mr Chu's oldest daughter Jia-Jen (Kuei-Mei Yang) is a rather interesting member of the family. After supposedly being spurned by a college sweetheart, she neither dates men or has much to do with the rest of her family, yet she plans to take care of her father after the other girls leave home. I personally see this happening after her mother dies, and this untimely death also alienates her from her sisters as well.
As in other typical Ang Lee movie, one of the several "twists" in this movie involves the oldest daughter meeting a love interest and changing her future plans tremendously!
Mr. Chu's business associate Old Wen taught Chu's middle daughter Jia-Chien (Chien-Lien Wu) how to cook while waiting for her father to finish his shift at the restaurant where he worked, but Mr Chu refuses to let his daughter cook for the family, forcing his daughter to choose a career the airline industry instead.
I see Mr Chu's reluctance to allow his daughters to cook for the family both as a way of still being a parent to them, but I also see it as a unwillingness to let them 'go', spread their wings, sort of. I don't think he is doing this out of spite; I believe that with his wife still alive, he would have allowed them more leeway in their personal lives.
I know most young girls take over occasional meals with their families; this gives them experience receiving criticism from people who can criticize their culinary skills in a loving way before they leave their home.
I think maybe her looking so much like her mother may have something to do with Mr. Chu's reluctance to his middle daughter taking on the role of the family chef. In my opinion, this is cause for some of the consternation between the two of them.
She also finds out about the truth of her oldest sister's reason for not dating for several years, but this 'discovery' is never brought up again in this movie ; sadly, this is one of the dangling items left unanswered by Ang Lee in this movie!
The middle daughter has a sudden, nasty change in her plans of being the first one to move out; personally I think that Mr Chu is more than happy with what happens to her plans.
In one of the last "twists" in this movie, Mr. Chu, after befriending the grand-daughter of a older woman he knows (who own mother recently returns from the States) and the grandmother of the little girl; he surprises all his daughters and their new families with a major announcement at one of his Sunday dinners; which affects the plans of his middle daughter tremendously, who by now has decided to forgo her ambitions in the airline industry and remain to take care of her father for the rest of his life at her parental home!
Finally at the last scene of the movie, Mr. Chu and his middle daughter discover a miracle of sorts that lets everyone know that
entire family will live happily ever after! I can see the psycho-somatic implications of this by Ang Lee; he must have researched this very well before using it!
Even though this is a great movie, i would have liked to have seen a drama series, where the backgrounds of the different family members could have been more developed so that we could feel more empathy for them! It would have also answered some of the unanswered question that Ang Lee never took care of!
The music was sublime and the cinematography, being a Ang Lee movie, was just perfect for the what was said and done, with the sets of the movie other than Mr. Chu's house, the primary location the entire time, being appropriate and sufficient for making the movie seem real.
All the main and support cast did an excellent job of portraying their individual roles and adding to the realism of this Ang Lee movie!
Special kudos to Madame Liang (Gui Ya Lei) who added a special comical relief where placed by Ang Lee; I especially loved her reaction to Mr. Chu's special announcement at the last meal attended by all of the daughters and their families in the movie!
This and the other movies in this trilogy are available online for free; and each movie may be viewed as an individual movie without watching the entire three-movie set.
The three-volumes set is also available to watch together in one location if you look hard enough online.
This is a full box of Kleenex movie: half for your tears at the sad parts and the other half to stuff in your mouth during the other scenes, like during the last meal announcement with all the family present; you may disturb your neighbors if you don't by laughing too loud!
RE-WATCH VALUE: Definitely, especially if you are an optimist on life!

The Master was a failure on multiple fronts. The acting both from the Asian cast and the American cast was atrocious. Yuen's performance was at least interesting. Jet Li's try at comedy fell flat and I'll never understand why they kept that Timmy Turner baseball hat glued to his head during his fights. The American cast was at a high school play level at best.
The production values were bottom of the barrel. You could even see the mats in one shot where they were supposed to fall. Tsui Hark, the director, probably wishes he could take this one back.
The side characters were a mixed bag. There was a possible romance with a banker, Crystal Kwok, but she seemed way more into Jet Li's character than he was into hers. Three Latino gangsters became his unwanted disciples. And Yuen Wah had a blonde gymnast as one of his few remaining students. Most of these characters were around for comic relief and I use that term lightly.
The fights were okay, but not terribly inspired. Jet Li injured his wrist in filming which meant they had to work around it for the final fight scenes. Jerry Trimble and Jet Li made good sparring partners and at least there was some effort near the end to make the fights more exciting even if the sets were basic. Yuen Wah had some fun moments near the climax as well.
I hate to write disparaging comments about this movie because I had looked forward to watching Jet li and Yuen Wah in a movie together. With a heavy heart I have to write that it was painful to get through with only a few brief, entertaining moments. There is a reason this 1989 movie set on the shelf until 1992 after the release and success of Jet Li's and Tsui Hark's Once Upon a Time in China. If you are a fan of Jet Li it might be worth watching this earlier, pre-fame movie where the wirework was minimal. Just keep your expectations low.

Part 2 of Director Ang Lee trilogy on "Father Knows Best"
Director Lee’s trilogy ("Father Knows Best") in bringing together family members to create tension and tender comedic moments shine in this trio of PUSHING HANDS (1991), THE WEDDING BANQUET (1993). and Eat Drink Man Woman (1994).
I knew that this movie was going to be at least 'good' movie when i saw the part where Wai Tung Gao (Winston Chao) and Simon (Mitchell Lichtenstein https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0509033/ ), his gay lover made up the "requirements " for his future wife that was sent to Tung Gao's mother Mrs. Gao (Gui Ya Lei) and I knew it was going to be a"great" movie when his mother comes back in the next scene finding a female that met the two lovers' "outrageous" requirements of a potential wife!
As i said in the review of "Pushing Hands" review, Ang Lee has a tendency of throwing you a "twist" near his movie's end when you think you have the movie figured out already. However, this movie has TWO "twists" in it, but I am not telling you what they are!
Trust me, both of the remaining part of this trilogy (including this one) are no exception as far as plot twists!
The main characters are great at making you believe that they are actually living the life of their characters in this movie; and the support cast is also very good and believable, including Mrs. Gao and her husband Mr. Gao (Lung Sihung from "Pushing Hands"). I especially like Mr. Gao's playing 'dumb' in this movie; believe me, he isn't!
The parents actually find out what is actually taking place; as most parents usually do!
The rest of the support cast are also believable in their roles, lending their support for making the main cast seem more legitimate.
The music is not overbearing and helps set the mood at various places in the movie. The cinematography is also very good in this movie.
I like the two male leads in their attempt to fool Tung Gao's parents, and I just LOVE the parents actually showing that they were not born yesterday!
Wei Wei (Kao Chin Su-mei /Chin Su-mei/May Chin/Ciwas) put on a great performance as the love-struck renter and bride of Tung Gao; too bad she retired from acting and became a politician. She is part of the "twists" of Ang Lee's direction in this movie as well!
This movie may be watched as a separate movie or as a part of Ang Lee's trilogy; either way, it is a great movie that should make Ang Lee proud for decades to come!
It is available for free online.
RE-WATCH VALUE: Definitely!
