Movies

On the plane from TAO to SFO, I watched three movies.

1. Gone with the bullets (JIANG Wen). Ambitious movie, but with voiceover of Beijing dialect, and not-so-clear what this movie is trying to tell, I was a bit disappointed.

2. Caught in the web (CHEN Kaige) - interesting story. Perfect example for a movie who tried too hard to tell too much, it feels like a running account.

3. It's only the end of the world (Xavier Dolan) - it is always good to have a slightly gay themed story won big award at Cannes. But... sometimes, i feel the inner push to keep the story going - can it be so consistent that really, it works this way? It could be other way. It is a good topic. A bit like "secrets and lies"
