Flying Daggers

Enters the House of Flying Daggers! I bought the DVD from China when Alec and I were there but didn't see it until the other night, and tonight we went to a KCRW Matt's Movies premiere screening and it was fan-fuckin'-tabulous!!!! Sooo great to see it on the big screen. [Thanks Babe!]

Aside from the actions and special effects, HoFD's bascially a love story. But there's this one scene that I watched for like 20 times in one sitting, the "Echo Game" inside the Peony Pavilion, was just simply AMAZING!!! The entire movie is just gorgeous! Hard to believe it's from the same director who did Raise The Red Lantern, The Road Home and Not One Less... All my faves, oooh!

The sad part about seeing the movie was when at the end, the credits stated that it's being dedicated to the late Anita Mui, in which she was supposed to have a vital part in the film.

The colours, the costumes, the every sound, the fight scenes, the editing, the special effects... Alec had already said that we're gonna go see it again when it opens next month! Woohoo! So, go check it out on December 3rd.

It won't disappoint.
