夜宴

冯小刚's attempt at some kind of epic drama with elements of Hamlet but in Chinese. With 章子怡 leading the cast, and several scenes with her almost wearing nothing, a NC 16 rating because of some violent scenes but the plot just was not able to live up the whole movie.


It was almost ultimate slow-mo for most of the movie and without any twists or catalyst, became a torture to want the ending to come soon. Definitely not an action packed movie, more of a love story where childhood lovers Daniel Wu as 无挛 and 婉儿 became mother and stepson, but with 无挛's father killed by his brother which usrup this throne in the process and of course came with a big fat bonus, also took his wife also. With 江山与美人 by 厉帝's side, what more can he ask for ? Of course to kill 无挛 but then 自古英雄难过美人关, 婉儿 went all out to protect her lover.

How many wishes to be in Daniel Wu position in the picture ?
And quite a number of Ms 陪 and Ms 小 and their friends' friends were in the cinema, somehow got a feeling we are being overwhelmed in our 4.3 million population ... Hee.

Okay, back to the movie, with a "Long Zhong" Si Ka liao ending, not happy indeed. Even 厉帝 succumb to 婉儿's wish to poision him.

"世上最毒地, 哪是鹤顶红加黑蝎子, 最毒的终究是人心"

Moment of the movie :
When 厉帝 attempt to put his hand into 婉儿's blouse, maybe 婉儿's 肚兜 is more appropriate, and of course she allows him, so as to win his trust and to protect his lover.

Another worth mention, General 殷隼 was "chined" to death by 婉儿 swift and deadly sword as its strike through across his chin.

6/10 for this movie.
