have u ever seen any chinese movies?do u like any of them?

i am a chinese boy
i like chinese movies as well as hollywood movies

I watched a really good Chinese film yesterday called Not One Less directed by Zhang Yimou.
It's about a 13y.o. girl who takes a job as subsitute teacher for a group of young children for a month in a rural Chinese village. She gets paid a bonus if no children are missing when the regular teacher returns so when one child runs away to the city to try and earn some money for his family she has to go after him to bring him back.

The most remarkable thing about this film is how incredibly moving it is considering that there are no professional actors in it. All the characters are played by real people portraying themselves as they are in real life, so the village mayor is played by a real village mayor and the 13y.o. teacher (played by Wei Minzhi) is a normal 13y.o. school girl. Even so all the performances are absolutely superb.

I highly recommend seeing this film.

um, yes? i have seen a few chinese films.... in the mood for love, 2046, crouching tiger, once upon a time in china, y'know... a bunch. none of them are as good as anything coming out of Korea, but but arent bad.

The Infernal Affairs trilogy is rather excellent. The first is particularly great, fantastic ending.

Yes, but I don't remember the name of it. It was pretty funny.

ya old movie called drunken master by jakie chan and crouching tiger hidden dragon and flaying daggers

I love Chinese movies,especially with Andy Lau in them.

I think Japanese is more innovative and interesting.

certainly, but these days nothing can compare to what's coming out of South Korea, a country making the best films in the world right now, and housing the greatest living film maker today.

The South Korean director Kim Ki-duk is probably my favourite filmaker at the moment.
He's made some really innovative films like 3-Iron and The Isle on incredibly small budgets and he made the film Real Fiction in real time.

he's definately very good, but have you experienced the masterworks of mister Park Chan-Wook?

I watched Gin Gwai (The Eye) a couple of months ago. It's supposed to be a horror movie and it's about this blind girl who gets a cornea transplant so she's able to see, and she starts seeing spirits. It's kind of a weird movie, but it was still interesting. I seem to prefer the Japanese horror movies more.

he's definately very good, but have you experienced the masterworks of mister Park Chan-Wook?I thought Oldboy was a remarkable film and while Sympathy For Mr Vengence had it's good points it left me feeling depressed.

One of my favourite Korean films is Save The Green Planet by Jun-hwan Jeong ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0354668/ ).

Save The Green Planet was fucking awsome. the darkest, funniest comedy since KFH.

I haven't seen Lady Vengence yet so I can't comment on it.

Another great Korean film that I don't think got the praise it deserved was Musa The Warrior ( http://imdb.com/title/tt0275083/ ).
I think most people assumed it was just another Crouching Tiger clone as it featured Ziyi Zhang in a minor role.
It has some of the most realistic battle scenes I've seen in any movie with none of the wire-fu/wushu nonsense you expect from this type of film. Instead they went for pure, brutal realism even using real weapons in some scenes most noticably when people were hit with arrows. They actually used real arrows in some close-ups with the actors just having small cork targets under their clothes to protect them.

Yep, Musa was one of the first korean films i ever saw, my only issue with it was the corny music, but it was all in all a fantastic little movie.

do you count Brokeback Mountain? :D
but I haven't seen that film actually

how in the name of god do you count Brokeback Mountain? Ang Lee was born in the states.

oh, another great korean movie- The Bittersweet Life, Awsome little action/drama with some fantastic story and very Ong-Bak style fight-scenes.

how in the name of god do you count Brokeback Mountain? Ang Lee was born in the states.

And is a terrible director/douchebag. You forgot that.

that too, all the Crouching Tigers in the world cant make up for that retarded Hulk movie and Donnie Darko making out with an australian.

I thought Eat Drink Man Woman ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111797/ ) was a pretty good film so Ang Lee can't be that bad.

most jackie chan ones
house of flying daggers
crouching tiger, hidden dragon
kiss of the dragon
kong fu hustle...maybe some more

ichi the killer :pink:

Yep. I saw one (may have been japanese...but I can't remember) with these 2 undercover cops who were chasing sum dude with no pant so he aimed a gun at sum chik and said that hes gonna kill her if the don give him their pants.

That SS is hell good. Only saw a few bits of it but it was pretty funny.

i hope Feng's new movie Banquet won't make us disappointed

Today I bought the D.V.D of Together With You directed by Chen Kaige http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0332639/ . Has anyone else seen this?

Ive seen Ong-Bak and Bang-Rajan. I know they are both about Thailand but i count them anyway.
