I am begining to like watching triad-themed Hong Kong/ chinese movies.
I have seen a few of such movies and other HK movies which kevin took me to but i cannot recall the titles..
Yesterday i watched Election and Election 2, loan them from Play!
Election” is the rather odd, but apparently true, story of how a Triad Society in Hong Kong chooses their new leader, or Chairman. Up for the job are Lok (Simon Yam), a seemingly mild-mannered, intelligent gangster and single parent to a young teen, and the explosive Big D (Tony Leung Ka Fai), who wants the job at all costs. Bribery, bullying, and other means of extorting votes from the elder Triads have commenced in full as the story begins. It isn’t long before Lok is elected Chairman, but to fully assume power and be recognized as the new chieftain, he must first take control of a token baton passed on from one Society chief to the next for over 100 years. To this end, both Lok and Big D send out their underlings and allies in search of the baton, even as the police, led by the stout Superintendent Hui (former kung fu star David Chiang) clamps down...
Lately we watched Confession of Pain.. good movie to catch too. Good acting by Tony Leung and Takeshi, and act-cute Shu Qi, made the movie fun to watch.
and also.. Curse of the Yellow Flower.. hmmm.. Not much artistic martial arts but has got pretty colours and sightingss...
Chow Yun Fatt.. good acting in this movie... i thought he is going to look awkward in this kind of old traditional movie..
GongLi is preeetty.. think she's the main attraction for pple to come watch the movie.. besides pop idol Jay Chou.. this guy got to take more acting lessons.. his facial expressions jus made the audience laugh... young modern looking man.. lost in the old time zone..
