This movie was beautifully shot, but as an spectator, something is off in the film. I wished to be more specific because that would mean my knowledge about the subject would pay my bills. And it doesn't, since it is always me paying to watch instead.
Anyhow, let's throw a guess or three just in case anybody about to watch this movie accidentally is reading this. It will be short: To me it might be something in the script or even in the editing. There is something in the rythm that takes me out of the story. It might be too many long fights because it had to be so hard for the editora to choose among so many beautiful and artistic looking images. It might be the script where conversations might have been too simple, predictable or even not realistic (I am no Chinese,so what do I know). It might have been that since it was shot in such a long time, the cinematographers or even the director lost the inmediate feeling, the flow in the future cuts of the product they were making.
So there are the three guesses as an spectator. I really wanted to love this movie because on paper and being a fan of many of the people here involved, this promised to be greater than I felt while watching it. But then, maybe my expectations made me misjudge (is that even a word in English?) this piece of art. So who knows,maybe it is even my fault. Sorry for that.
