Drunken Monkey Posted November 9, 2003 Posted November 9, 2003 y'know, i've been talking to some of my friends about it and the same kinda comments came up that were mentioned about crouching tiger hidden dragon... 'over the top' 'doesn't make sense' 'ridiculous' but then it occured to me that unless you're chinese/japanese and have been raised on films like these, you will think the same. a lot said that there was too much blood but that's normal in that sort of film. the film only has to make sense in it's own world i think the fact that he managed to make a film that feels so much like a proper chinese/japanese kung fu flick shows what a craftsman he truely is. (a side-note, i felt that crouching tiger wasn't really like a proper hk flick, too polished...) post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
battousai16 Posted November 9, 2003 Author Posted November 9, 2003 the difference being that i enjoyed kill bill, and i didn't much care for crouching tiger, hidden dragond "I hear you can kill 200 men and play a mean six string at the same time..."-Six String Samurai
Drunken Monkey Posted November 9, 2003 Posted November 9, 2003 well, that i put down to it being too polished. but then what could you expect from the director of the ice storm...? post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
battousai16 Posted November 9, 2003 Author Posted November 9, 2003 touché drunken monkey, touché... "I hear you can kill 200 men and play a mean six string at the same time..."-Six String Samurai
Drunken Monkey Posted November 9, 2003 Posted November 9, 2003 hey don't get me wrong, i loved the ice storm. and i thikn that he's a great director. but for a 'foreign' film, it still had that hollywood feel... could just be that i'm used to hk films with virtually no budget. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
battousai16 Posted November 10, 2003 Author Posted November 10, 2003 nah, i didn't grow up on hk films and i still thought that the ice storm was awfully hack-ish "I hear you can kill 200 men and play a mean six string at the same time..."-Six String Samurai
Drunken Monkey Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 well, i liked it. kinda funny at times. then there's that bit where he gets fried and his body slides down the road in that coat of his... some really wonderfully crafted scenes and niceley paced throughout. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
BlueDragon1981 Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Kill Bill was kind of funny at times but I don't think it is all that great of a movie. Of course I don't really like that type of movie. I will watch the second but not in the thearte. (I think there is suppose to be 3 of them but I am not sure)
battousai16 Posted December 9, 2003 Author Posted December 9, 2003 really? i thought they just split it in half "I hear you can kill 200 men and play a mean six string at the same time..."-Six String Samurai
Drunken Monkey Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 yep. just two halves. and well strickly speaking, it's one movie just split into two easily digestable parts so kill bill vol2 is NOT a sequel... post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
