Bishonen (HK)

Oooh yeah, I watch it two times in total and I quite like the movie. I don't really know what's there for me to say but that the narration is in Mandarin, subtitle is in English and the movie is in Cantonese. I personally don't understand Cantonese I got to admit, but, with the help of accurate subtitle, it makes the whole movie so much more enjoyable and understandable for me. And of course, there's Stephen Fung (main actor), Daniel Wu and Terence Yin to lookout for.

The overall feeling of the movie is something like 1/8 of gay documentary, 3/8 sex and love, 4/8 gay lifestyle in Hong Kong.. I don't know, at least that's how I feel so. Hmm.. And also, one thing, it is pretty sad that those acted as the calefare roles seems to be of very unacceptable and weird uncles of certain negative looks eh. Feels so sad if that's the true case in Hong Kong's style.

The only thing I dislike about the movie is the complications of the storyline, makes the whole picture really bad, and messy too! But it's still acceptable, since there's Daniel Wu.. LOL. I used to like Stephen Fung more, but Daniel Wu looks so cute and young in this movie. It's a 1998 productions and directed by someone called Yeung Fan.. Hmm, didn't heard of it before. Anyway, I personally would think it's deserve to watch kindda movie bah. For you guys who haven't watch it before, maybe it's time.

And in the evening, I watched Asterix: Asterix and the Vikings. It's a 2006 Animated Movie.. feeling good watching something pretty old school. It's totally fun and interesting, but not the best I can say.

In the book Asterix and the Normans a group of fearless Viking Warriors travels to Asterix's village in a quest to discover the meaning of fear, as they had heard that fear gives you wings. Unfortunately, it just so happened that the Gaulish Village fear only one thing, that the sky may fall on their heads, and the Vikings are out of luck. That is until they encounter Vitalstatistix's cowardly young nephew, Justforkix who Asterix and Obelix are teaching how to be a man.

This is where the film deviates from the book, specifically developing " the Nordic aspects of the storyline". The Vikings abduct Justforkix and bring him back to their homeland. Asterix and Obelix must travel to the icy Norway to rescue him, with almost half the movie taking place here.

For the movie, the Normans have been changed to the Vikings which is more dramatic and iconic.

The Movie as below:




Don't you just love it.. And the ending is always sweet (not the 'happy ever after' kind, but is the 'until next time') Gosh I love Asterix!

I dislike Bishonen's ending. So stupid lah.

Jeremy was right. Wish Bishonen had a better ending. It was crummy. But at that time most gay movies of the sort had really ambivalent endings.
