Went to catch the movie ‘Curse of the Golden Flower’ yesterday at GSC Berjaya Times Sq. with my dearest. It was a powerful profound drama by Zhang Yimou and superb acting by Choy Yun Fat and Gong Li.
For those who don’t know what the heck im talking about, well, its the latest movie shot inside China's famous Forbidden City. Gong plays an Empress in the late Tang dynasty who discovers that her husband The Emperor (Chow Yun Fat) is slowly poisoning her. Already upset by the recent end of an affair with her stepson Wan (Liu Ye), The Empress hatches a plan to kill The Emperor with the help of her own son Jai (Jay Chou). But as the plan is put in motion, each member of this incestuous circle discovers secrets and deceptions deeper than any ever imagined.
I’ve always been in awe of Gong Li’s timeless beauty but it was her acting in Memoirs of the Geisha that got me hooked. I have made a point since then to watch her movies…to me, she is a remarkable actress with the same standard as Meryl Streep.
So go on now, go and see the movie but be warned to self arm with tissue….or maybe its just me being my usual emo self..but really! Its worth watching although the ending is a bit tad depressing.
p/s Sapa yang memang suka breast tu, ha! memang sesuailah tengok cerita ni...pergi jangan tak pergi!!!!!
Welcome to paradise....
