This blog is to keep track of my movie addiction and posting short comments to each movie I see for the first time.

Ashes of Time Redux
Ashes of Time
Wong Kar Wai is one of a kind director.
He takes an epic martial arts story
and converts into a character driven poetic
story.
Just like all his other films I've seen,
it's all human emotions.
I was in the mood for a kick
ass martial arts movie,
I did not get that with this movie.
Instead it was a slow ride into
the mind of these characters.
The colors and the sound was great.
If you're not familiar with Wong Kar Wai's films,
then it's best if you stay away from this one.
If you're willing to try some Wong Kar Wai,
I recommend to start with Chungking Express.
For those of you already familiar, then this one
is worth a peek, if you haven't already.
