Did I Miss Something?
17 August 2023
Either I fell asleep and dreamed that I watched a movie in which nothing happened or I really watched a supposedly great movie in which almost happened. Things that actually happened include: man walking around a city, man going into a room, two men showing their guns to each other and then one getting pushed to the ground, close-ups of a lizard's face, man playing guitar loudly for 5 minutes, two men fighting on a rooftop in a style that did not look like kung-fu (I would call it something like "camera-edit-fighting"). Im debating whether I should flag this review for spoilers considering that I just listed almost everything that happens in the movie. I love asian cinema because you can almost always count on interesting things to happen. Almost every review praised this film so I was excited. Maybe its my fault for expecting a science fiction film or an action film because this film was clearly neither of those things. If I were smarter or open-minded, perhaps I would appreciate movies in which nothing happens. Unfortunately, I like to see things happen in movies. Im not a fan of Jean Luc Godard and im not a fan of this. One positive thing I will say is that the DVD came with the CD soundtrack which is simply amazing and I will be playing it for life. The movie though? Im afraid not.
