與STELLA, TIFFANNY, HANZ先生, CY先生和 HEAN先生, 吃過晚餐後在Cineleisure Damansara 看了這部電影。其電影導演則是已久聞的吳導吳宇森, 只是之前較多以其英文名字, JOHN WOO, 認識他。<< 赤壁 >>, 聽說是部很不錯的電影。我覺得, 的確不錯﹗只可惜我對歷史的理解太遜了, 所以看得一頭霧水, 問號多多。哈哈。還好友人在旁為我作些旁白解說, 否則必定白費了戲票。呵呵﹗

一部關於歷史與戰爭的電影,
<< 赤壁 >> 把一個流傳千年的歷史 '電影化' 了, 反映了三國時代的浩大戰爭, 體現了當時偉大英雄們的理智待事及聰明伶俐, 演繹了非常壯觀的斗打戰爭局面。由金城武飾演的諸葛亮, 梁朝偉的周瑜, 張震的孫權, 張豐毅的曹操, 尤勇的劉備, 胡軍的趙子龍, 巴森的關羽, 臧金生的張飛, 還有趙微的孫尚香和林志玲的小喬等, 演員陣容的確強大, 英雄們演繹得入神有型, 斗打場面也精心設計指導, 別有風范。然而依個人看法呢, 就不太喜歡金城武的演繹﹐有點太做作而看似脫節。梁朝偉也差不多一樣。也許是他們太乾淨亮眼了吧, 哈哈, 對我來說有點不襯, 反而其他英雄們較為適眼。林志玲呢, 嗯... 沒什麼特別演繹。而趙微呢, 原以為會是以漂亮文雅的有型氣質女呈現, 結果不如我所願, 其演繹其實就只像把 << 還珠格格 >> 裡的小燕子搬演到 << 赤壁 >> 裡。哈哈。純屬個人意見噢, 沒刻意侵犯, 哈哈。也許是我對史書不了解,也許他們的演繹就為了配合真實的史故﹗

真的遺憾對歷史認知不足, 沒辦法看得入神, 更沒辦法分析分享更多有關該部電影的細節, 寫此電影部落格的確有難度呀﹗:( 不過話說回來, 雖然我不太了解當中的史說情節, 但以欣賞電影製作及拍攝來說, 我真的覺得 << 赤壁>> 很不錯﹗想必很多對三國歷史有所了解的朋友們, 甚至是有關網上游戲的支持者, 一定為此電影讚嘆不絕。當中我非常欣賞其戰役的技巧戰術, 如何偷襲, 如何應招, 如何讓敵方上當, 如何風光瀟灑地贏戰等, 真的讓我佩服不已。每一刀每一劍, 每一句精華每一步策劃, 甚至走位圖形, 都精心設計, 雖然有小部份露出了電腦動畫的破綻。尤其是當中的"八卦陣"戰事, 的確精彩震憾﹗ 是部影像非常漂亮的電影。

我想 << 赤壁 >> 是部蠻特別的史說電影。它成功擺脫了慣例歷史電影的模式, 融入了現代觀影的趨勢, 加入了不少幽默元素, 讓歷史電影不再單調苦悶, 也較容易被多階層接受。誰說翻攝歷史戰爭類型的電影難以突破? << 赤壁 >>卻成功了, 帶來了不少驚喜。當中造型看似粗魯邋塌的張飛竟在戲中書法揮筆消遣, 逗得我忍不住一笑, 還害我被友人笑說: "人人都笑時你不笑, 沒人笑的情景呢你卻自個兒笑, 真可笑﹗" 哈哈。不過老實說, 戲中某些所謂的幽默字句對白, 我個人認為有點逞強, 太故意穿插, 我反而覺得有點無聊即冷場。也純屬個人意見唷﹗ =.= 然而戲中周瑜運用打獵老虎激烈教導孫權的方法別有含義。眾多人皆知的 "一根筷子易被折斷, 團結就是力量" 的古說, 也被周瑜用草鞋一制呈現。

我想除了演員陣容, 最為熱聊的應該就是其收場了吧。很多觀眾都有被 '炸到' 的感覺。呵呵﹗吳導, 你也太壞了吧, 調大家的胃口, 還來得那麼突然﹗但對我而言, 那收場方式似乎新鮮好玩, 畢竟眾多的電影在有續集的情況下並沒有如此簡單以文字呈現過, 感覺就像看了兩個小時多的影片後竟發現: "蛤??? 只是三國大戰的介紹和預告片???" 哈哈。別氣了, 耐心等待明年吳導的續集, 希望再次帶來精彩的驚喜咯﹗

總的來說, << 赤壁 >> 的確值得一賞﹗

Went for this "Hancock" with STELLA, ANGELINA, MR. HANZ, MR. CY and MR. HEAN at Sunway Pyramid after having our Family Fiesta Dinner at The Chicken Rice Shop. wahahaa~ :p

Well, had heard about this movie quite some time ago. My friend, Mr. Maxx told me that this will be a great film. I think so as well, as it features kinda great star - Will Smith. "Hancock", seriously, before and during i went into the cinema, i have no idea of what the film is about, not even a little. Is to keep myself a little surprise i guess. hahaa. The only think that comes to my mind, besides Will Smith, it was just: "Hancock? John Hancock! hahaa, the clothing brand." Who knows? All along the film, Will Smith really turns out to be "John Hancock" in the film, get to know this when the other prisoners named him "John" during the sharing session.

"Hancock", again, it's a superhero film, where there is a man show up to have super powers that could help to save the world in all kinds of disasters. Something that made this film slightly different is that, it started of with a so-called SuperHero who seems to be unwanted, annoying, hated, someone that is so not welcomed by the citizens. Then it appears to have a public relations professional man that seems to understand and to repair while turning the Unwanted Hancock to the Most Welcomed Hero. For me, "superhero" is just an additional elements to the storyline. The meanings conveyed behind do meant much more where we audience shall take more note about.

The storyline is kinda meaningful. It somehow reflects the society nowadays or even previous days. People always tends to judge someone from the outlook, or from something they can see probably. Perhaps this is how normal human beings react. When you see something bad or negative, you perceive the person involved as someone awful as well. How many times we people would willing to understand more, trying to walk into a particular person, go right near to his heart, just to know the real and hidden personality or feelings? This film shows. It shows how we shall look at a person, how we shall save and turn a person or even the world to be a better one. Perhaps every figure does have their own ways of presenting or conveys their thinkings to the public. It's just either you've used the right positive way or the negative one. Sometimes, people does meant to be weak. No matter how strong you are in both physically or mentally, living in this world, we cant stop ourselves from taking mind of how the others look at us, how much cares and concerns we actually hope to receive from the crowd. The public's perceptions towards ourselves do mean alot, in the sense of supporting and moulding us to be someone who owns better self-esteem or even just to live happier. Overall, what we wish to get is just people's acceptance, to be someone who is well-welcomed by the public, who is respected and accepted by the crowd. The film shows too, on how much communication skill matters in terms of human relationships. The way you talk, the words you speak, even a simple sentence may change the others' perceptions towards yourself, may make a particular thing turn out to be better and more wonderful.

Love. Hahaa, something been arousing human's thoughts for centuries ago and coming centuries, something where no one could ever really figure out. The film somehow conveys great thinkings towards Love and Relationship as well. It says: "When 2 people sticked together, they become one, connected and the power lost." It says: "This is it.. Love. Connect. Old. Die." Maybe human beings are always influenced and mould by Love itself. Perhaps this is like what people always says? Someone in love seems to be blind. hahaa! I guess it's because Love can turn someone to be both stronger and weaker. No matter how tough or strong a person is, Love, is the only thing that human cant stand or resist, something that could melt the cruel or iron heart. It shows too in the film, when Hancock forced to stay as far as he could from Mary, fighting badly with his love instinct, just to save Mary, just to give her a better life. Perhaps this is what we always see. The other form of Love. where we have to let go someone we love, just to protect or to give him/her a better life. Speaking something seems conservative, Loving someone doesn't mean you have to stick and be with him/her. It can be in another form, it can even be more wonderful. It just depends on how much you get, how much you would realize, and how much you care about it. Love? Sticking together. Love? It is to set it free too, sometimes. hahahaa!

Well, too much i've said. Come back Chryss! hahahaa:p Anyway, the humor added do enhance the film. The cute little boy, Aaron, really seems so lovable. The way he shouted: "Hancock!! We've brought you something!" The way he responsed: "I do love Hancock!!" when it says there's no one who welcome and like Hancock. Not a bad film overall. I shall say the meanings conveyed behind, somehow, save it. Fortunately.

HANCOCK, GO..O....OO..D JOB!! wahahaa:p Just playing around with the dialogues though.. Is it a good film? perhaps not for me.. sorry :(

Watched this with MR. AY at One Utama after hanging at ZanMai Sushi (Chryss's Appetite) kinda month ago. Similarly, i have not watched any trailer or relating content about this film though. "Indiana Jones"? well, the first thing that came into my mind was that: "hmm...it sounds like an old story or those from novels. redirecting film perhaps??" Hahaa, yeayea, i know i'm lame. Sorry! Basically, i never plan to watch this film at all, not until He suggested it. So, thanks for bringing me to such a great film ya! ^o^

Looking at the poster, I have such a direct perception that expecting the film to be kinda adventurous one, where a group of archaeologists having their journey of hunting for treasures or something precious. It seems to be old-fashioned and conservative visuals. However, somehow, I was wrong. I WAS WRONG!! I ended up to be surprised, amazed, and enjoyed! But too bad that i couldnt immediately blog about this then. i cant really remember much now, so too sad i cant share lots.. :(

I shall say, the film is really a huge production, definately worth it to pay and watch in the cinema. hahaha! Anyway, the storyline is unpredictable. It is not as simple as you find it from the poster itself! I personally think that it has a very special content whereby it is absolutely not simple at all, kinda complicated, where lots of various elements and stories been joined together, yet congrats! they were linked so well, indeed. it is yea, an adventurous film featuring treasure hunting and archaeology, probably on the crystal skull, but it is great to have it as something archaelogy but yet modernized and interesting enough! there are a lot of information and deep knowledges been added, jargons of archaeology and history, blending well with family relations and humors. It is so cool and awesome, during the scenes of Jones using bullet powders to test on the magnetic stuff, scenes when the casts solving the tough clues all along their journey, the some kinda of orang asli scene, the final scenes where Aliens are found, and etc. Fuyooh..

The most surprising thing for me is when the film relates the storyline to Aliens. this is something i find it interesting and cool as well. Normally, we've been seeing lots of films talking about Aliens, but they were all more to futuristic, commonly shows that Aliens would appear or occupy the present human world. However, in "Indiano Jones", the aliens somehow seems to exist before human does, they were already there since centuries ago. Aliens were from the past!

Overall, for me, both visuals and storyline are so well-directed and created, I really enjoyed the film. it was like i cant even take a glance off the screen while my brain cant stop working and digesting the signals sent by both my eyes and ears. i feel so much satisfied with the surprisingly rich contents =) Here, i shall send my compliment to Steven Spielberg, as recently we could see that he has been trying on various genres of films lately. Well done!

I've watched this with Stella and our lady housemate at Cineleisure Damansara. Foremostly, have to thanks Mr. Kenny, which is our housemate as well, for the free media pass movie tickets given! Since i've watched this quite some time ago, so i'll just briefly state a few words here will do.
-
I personally find this movie not interesting in fact.. it is simple..the storyline..the production.. it's kinda a more simple and easy film. Growing along with the plots, the storyline somehow seems rushing whereby it seems not really well-developed and composed. sorry... :(
-
My sis, stella, did find it familiar, saying there was a similar storyline from one of the previous films instead. But anyway, there are some scenes where humor elements were added in, and they do works! For the ending part...i personally find it kinda disappointing and sucks.. The film somehow tries to create romance and moving scenes and mood, but somehow it failed, i shall say. it turns up abit conservative and more to old-fashioned storyline perhaps... sorry... :(
-
But you know wat? Ashton Kutcher really looks so great and attractive in the film! hahaa:p Whereby Cameron amazed the audience with her great outlook. tall figure with long nice legs. phewitt~ hahaa! I'm sure many of you agree with me on this last paragraph. :p

The typical Super Hero Film! Watched this with Mr.YS at Cineleisure Damansara. Well, seriously I know nothing about this film, not the film genre, not the visual kinds, not the basic understandings, I've got no idea at all about it , not until the film get started! hahaa! when the scenes started off, i was like: "hmm... is this IRON MAN? is it started already??" lowsy huh?! hahaa. but anyway, it's quite a nice film though.

I personally think that the storyline is kind of cool. i mean, beginning with a great genius inventor who is the billionnaire industrialist of weapons, being kidnapped and forced to build a devastating weapon. With the given garbage materials, the intelligent man ended up by building a high-tech suit of armor and escapes captivity. The experience then inspire and mould him into a better person when he realized how much damages and huge impacts his weapon creations had actually brought to the innocent people. He then started to have great thinkings and found himself another greater way of utilizing his genius intelligence. When he uncovers a nefarious plot with global implications, he dons his powerful armor and vows to protect the world as Iron Man.

Although the storyline is kind of typical and simple as it is derived from existing comics or cartoons, but overall, for me it is quite nicely done. Throughout the film, despite the predictable storyline, it actually added on a lot of knowledge in terms of weapon creations, cool and advance technologies, scientifics, some elements that would attract and fulfill specific audience's desires. That's why i rated it 2 stars! I'm sure this typical super hero story would not bore or annoy anyone, it is not childish at all, where i bet a lot of guys would appreciate and enjoy this film so much as it brings them back to their childhood hero! It is pretty cool, i mean, when u could see the hero building and designing weapons or the high-tech Iron Man suit, when he's talking to cool robots in his workplace, when you could see few cool vehicles there, the beautiful interiors with high security systems, blablabla...what am i talking about??! i just wanna tell you how cool and amazing the advanced technologies being used! it was absolutely awesome! Throughout the film, i bet there are a lots of stunned responses like "Whoww!" "Whoo..." "Gosh...", even "Wasseii..." "Walau...", etc. hahaa, all these cool elements had definately enhanced the so-called predictable and simple storylines Of course, humor elements are added as well. Furthermore, this film has inserted some relating messages to the people as well, public service announcement perhaps? some kind of "world peace" signals. hahaa!

anyway, i guess this film would satisfy a huge range of audience, from kids to adults. IRON MAN, the quite worth watching blockbuster movie!

Found this interesting page during my surfing, hahaa, exclusively for you, IRON MAN fans! Videos, games, wallpapers, products, etc, you can find lots of additional stuff here for the film only at http://www.hasbro.com/marvel/ironman/default.cfm?page=Entertainment/Arcade

Well, nearly forgot about this wonderful film, as i've watched it quite some times ago with Angelina at One Utama. This is the most expected film this few months of mysis, Stella, as she had been waiting for it since she heard about it few months ago in UK. It was their Valentine's special.
-
Aihh...blog too late, kind of forgot those particulars comments. Let me just share a few words. This is a very simple romance film that features a pretty lady, which is Katherine Heigl, an idealistic, romantic and completely selfless, and most importantly, "always-a-bridesmaid" lady. Everything comes to a turning point when her sister tends to capture her boss's heart, whom Jane is secretly in love actually, she started to reexamine her lifestyle and behaviors. Then, she meets a nice guy, who brings her lots of fuss, but ended up bulding their true romantic love together though.

Through this film, it delivers not only the bridesmaid stories, but also messages like sisterhood, family matters, behaviors, and of course loves. Although it is simple, quite a wonderful film to watch anyway! Sweetness and romance blend so well with humours and touches to bring you this good film. One thing to mention is, Katherine Heigl looks really gorgeous inside. What's greater is, she speaks so fluently and greatly in every non-stop dialogues, so fast yet nice-to-hear. fuuh~ awesome!! this had definately captured my attention!

Watch this on 30 Jan 2008 with Stella, Tiffanny & Hun. I was so excited looking forward to it, as i've been waiting for it to get on screen since i checked it out on TGV's Coming Soon Movies site. I've put lots of expectation, 1st- it is a musical, while i'm totally a musical-lover! 2nd, Johnny Depp, specially thanks to Mr.HK of introducing such a great actor for me, i've always love his performance after watching Pirates of The Carribean and some other films else. Johnny Depp, you rocks man! he can act perfectly in every various casts in every films he came to. Besides, a compliment for Jamie Campbell Bower as well. Although he's more to extreme beauty (whr some may gives positif comments while some giving negatives one), but he looks entirely charming inside!

When the film starts, at the moment of its montage, or introduction, where all the main credits being introduced, the graphic is kind'f amazing. the first tht came into mymind was, "woww, i was like sitting on the seat at Genting Highlands's 3D theatre!" besides, the overall feeling of the opening piece was like those in games: Resident Evil? hahaa, anyway, it's a fresh things to have though.

Then, it started. basically the scenes are more to grey & black, which uses more to darker colours, perhaps to bring out the devil n cool feel. the costumes, the casts, the hairstyles, were all look filthy and kindf evil. hahaa, but anyway, good job! for the costume & make up designers! it enhanced the film more.

When Todd (Johnny Depp) and Anthony (Jamie Campbell Bower) started to sing, i was like "yuhoo~ it is a musical! love it!" then overall it's followed by musical type of flow: speak a little, sing a paragraph, speak, then sing again. i was wondering, how come this film has been rated as "thriller" movie in TGV site. Until it reaches the point, where the "thriller" elements slowly revealed. For me, perhaps the storyline doesnt seems to be so special n interesting, but anyhow, it overall brought it up nicely. The film uses more to British accent English, sounds comfortable anyway. Besides, i've learnt a few words and phrases fromt he film as well, such as: "before the week is out", "....isn't material", etc.

Let me share a little brief story here: Sweeney Todd, is actually a story of revenge and how it consumes a vengeful person. Todd was previously a great barber named "Benjamin Barker", until the evil Judge Turpin (Alan Rickman) takes a fancy to his beautiful wife (Laura Michelle Kelly) and daughter (Jayne Wisener), and throws him in prison for a crime that he did not commit. After 15years of false imprisonment, he returned to London and started his revenge by renaming himself as "Sweeney Todd". And this is the moment where the second part of the film title revealed: "The Demon Barber of Fleet Street". He vows to kill the Judge Turpin and his henchman, Beadle Bamford (Timothy Spall). On his journey, he meets his partner-in-crime, Mrs.Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter), who owns a pie shop. In order to make his plan of murdering the Judge n the Henchman a successful n perfect one, he applies his razor on unlucky customers in his shop, kills them through their throats cruelly, and shuttles the bodies down to Mrs.Lovett in turning the flesh into delicious n hot selling meat pies.

Overall, the musical part is being brought so well. although it has violent scenes where Todd keep killing by cutting throats, however it seems alright for me, as the killing tactic is almost the same, thus lower down the horror grade. (i guess, if the film really mean to be a horror thriller film, i supposed they woun use the similar way of killing! of course they will design various shocking killing ways to frighten the audience though!) Another thing shud i mention here is that, throughout the film, there's humor elements which can realy make u laugh. for example, along the storyline, there's someone who actually cool down the atmosphere and brings laughters, the Italian rival barber-Pirelli (Sacha Baron Cohen).

How Todd get to kill the Judge Turpin & the Henceman? will he finally reunion with his wife-Lucy and his daughter-Johanna? Watch it ur own, then u'll know how was it going.

* I didnt actually find it horrible perhaps it's far from reality for me, or maybe i concentrate too much on the musical itself. But i'm sure for those barbers outhere, or whoever have the chance to get close with the "razor" will have phorbia side effects perhaps! Besides, for those who doesnt like musicals perhaps u may find this film boring like hell, jzlike myfrens do. Anyway, wishing u happy watching =)

Just like how i walked out from the cinema, this rhythm keeps playing on my mind n throat: "Johanna...Johanna....I'll steal you...Johanna..." hahaa. Cheers~

Watched this with Stella, Auyong, Tiffanny, Cindy & Mun after visiting to the Batu Caves. what made it special is that, we all get to sit in couple seats! hahaa. Anyway, in brief, the animation was excellent! it was perfectly done, every little movements, little details, were well done! it seems real, much more than just animation! However, the storyline is boring for me. perhaps it's a re-film from existing story, thus maybe not much interesting story can be added. FOr the storyline's sake, it was like...not there enough. for example, the touching scenes were all fast glance, whrby when audience started to get into touching feel, it then quickly switch into another happier scene. but anyway, the scenes where the chipmunks sing acapella: "only...you...." and other songs, were incredible! Three stars rating was for the animation though!

[ALONE] The first horror or thriller movie that I've ever watched in the cinema. I watched this months ago at Times Square with my best friends : Anson, Seng and Bear. Since it has been quite a long time since i watched this, perhaps i just couldn't really share that more detaily. Anyway, when we firstly decided to watch this movie, I was really excited. Before this, I always wish to have my first experience of watching horror drama in the cinema. It should be exciting and horrible, I guessed. Syokk! So, since the minute we've bought the tickets, I've started to prepare myself, mentally, hahaa, to get frightened and freak out in the cinema. I'm really so so excited, can't wait to reach the showtime, can't wait to be terrified! hahaa.

Around 3 hours later, after finishing our lunch at U-Village Restaurant, Sungei Wang, with our delicious U-Village iced coffee, yuhoo~ it finally reaches the showtime! I've taken a long breathe, and walk into the cinema, finally sit on the seat. (hahaa, of course lar, nonsense!) I keep telling my friends that I'm so nervous yet excited! hahaa, dounno how much frightened I'll get later.

First and foremost before i get deeply into the story. Let me share you my views first. If you take that as a horror and thriller drama, expecting to be terrified and frightened, I guess you may get disappointed like me. To be frank, I do feel that the movie was not terrifying and frightening at all. But anyway, things work differently to different person. One of my friend, Moon, did find the movie scary. Perhaps you too! Anyhow, the important point that i wish to share here is the storyline of the movie. Apparently, as i heard from many responses, horror or thriller movies always turned up meaningless or storylineless. They may be produced simply just to frighten and to scare audience in the cinema together with the booming sound effects. But for [ALONE], I'll probably rate it '0' for the horrors, but seems to praise it for the storyline's sake instead! The storyline conveyed is rather different. It comes in a more special and unpredictable way. For me, "Quite a good job!" to the scriptwriter. What do you think?

" We promised to stay together forever. " This is the popular tagline in the movie. As mentioned in my title, The Movie [ALONE] were as known as [FAET] which conveys the meaning of "twins". Here, you know the story is probably starring twins, and that is absolutely correct! hahaa. [ALONE] focuses on the story between a guy, starring Withaya (The Adult Lee), and of course Marsha, who starred as the twins named Pim and Ploy.
This movie uses more on the flashback techniques. It also featured few stages moderately, which tell us the story of the twins from their kids time, to children, teenagers, and finally adults. The story begins by introducing the adult Pim, together with his lovely husband, Lee, both having their loving and wonderful life. Pim seems to be a very successful woman, owning a perfect life of love, family and career. However, who knows? It then comes to the 1st turning point, whereby Pim receives a call from Thailand. She was told that her mother is seriously ill with unfamilliar disease. Pim then departed back to Thailand with Lee.

Once they have reached Thailand, strange things start to happpened here and there. Painful memories flashing back in Pim very regularly. It then getting more serious and stronger, and finally, the painful yet familiar flashbacks has kind'f haunted Pim while hurting her seriously in trio mentally, psycologically, as well as physically. The story then focuses and tells more when Pim goes back to her old house, with a glasshouse at the yard.The story then slowly reveals the family secret. We get to know that Pim was once a twin, which better known as Siamese Twin.
Through the flashbacks, Pim and her conjoined sister, Ploy, were very close and loving twins. Their relationship went on perfectly until the existence of a nice guy, Lee. Pure love begins to grow sweetly between Pim and Lee, while on the other hand, jealousy and quarrels then started to grow in the twins, and finally, loves has extremely turn into hates. They begins to feel each other as heavy burdens. Their mother then couldn't stand that anymore, she's not willing to see her precious children hurting among each others. And then, she signs, sending her twin children undergo an operation to be separated. But unfortunately, one of them died during the attempt.

And now, the sickly Pim seriously haunted by the painful memories, keep feeling the existence and presence of her other sister, who supposed to be dead.And then the story goes on and on. Secrets hidden behind slowly revealing. I personally quite love the particular ending. The so-called truth seems to be shown. But once you tend to believe it completely, doubts then start to influence, and there another story begins to grow in your mind.
What is the biggest secret actually? Is Pim really meet Ploy? Isn't Ploy has dead since years ago? What else would Lee figures out then?Check out the movie [ALONE] too, to unfold the secrets yourselves!

You'll never know, the truth is always outhere...

这是我最近在戏院看的第二部中文电影。我姐还说我很UPDATE呢，哈哈，因为在这部电影上画的第二天，我就和阿SON、阿SENG、阿PHIL、YveVonne、还有我弟ERIC，到TimesSquare的GSC一起观赏这部戏。怎么会选看这一部呢，其实是因为阿SON听朋友说很好好看，所以我们就集体决定了咯！

我想很多人都知道我不爱到电影院去看中文戏和香港片，无心得罪噢，但之前所看过的都让我觉得很无聊很没意思很随便潦草，总觉得到电影院看这类电影很不值得。可是呢，这一部<<导火线>>是我续上一部<<绑架>>后，觉得很不错，很好看，也很ENJOY的中文电影。真的噢，我想我当时在整部戏的时间都没有一时晃神不专心或觉得无聊过。从一开始到结束，我的眼睛都只专注在荧幕上，非常投入，我身边的朋友也一样噢！

这部戏是有关警察和匪徒之间争斗的动作片。它的情节不会很熟悉，不会让人在这一幕就知道下一秒会有什么事发生。戏中所选用的演员也很不错，还蛮适合的。当甄子丹和古天乐出场的时候，不用说就像以往一样让人觉得有帅气，很MAN很TOUGH的感觉；第一眼看到郑则士时，就会忍不住说‘肥猫耶，哈哈！’；范冰冰呢，披着两边长长的波浪卷发，显得很甜美漂亮(但朋友说她最近每一部戏都用一样的造型)；吕良伟和邹兆龙一看，当然你就大概知道他们饰演的角色跟对抗主角有关。此外，在剧中你也会偶尔看见好像似曾相识的其他演员。

当中厉害的是，这部电影会让人全情投入，跟着剧情和选用配乐起起落落，像似把自己也放进了电影里头。在很多时候，它都挑起了观众的紧张之心，很想跟戏中的人喊说有危险。其中最明显的一幕，就当大家在古天乐屋宅聚会的那一段戏，从送货员将装有炸弹烧鸡的箱子送到门前开始，观众的眼光就会一直注意着那箱子，心情像似被悬吊着了，很紧张，很担心炸弹几时会被引爆。当郑则士将烧鸡捧到微波炉弄热时，观众会开始‘啊。。惨了，他死啊。。’，当中在他调整微波炉时，也有一丝丝的好笑。另外，在范冰冰说要到厨房帮他的时候，随着慢镜头的一步步走着，‘啊。。不要啊，不要不要，你不要去！不要。。’，就连手也跟着提起来了呢。到了送货员要用遥控器引爆炸弹却收不到信号的时候，你就会觉得‘哎哟，有没有搞错，用酱烂的，差劲！’。哈哈。炸弹引爆了，你也会跟着那慢动作的侵略。然后一切静下来的时候，你就会‘女朋友！女朋友呃。。’

更让电影精彩的是，在这么紧张严肃的动作片中，也不忘加入许多有趣的笑点。特别是在古天乐和甄子丹的对戏，在海边沙滩，在警局办公室。在适当的笑点和紧张入戏的完美融合下，让你更ENJOY这不一样的动作片。

不得不提，也让整部戏加了不少分的是当中的对打争斗戏。我们都知道一般男生较爱看打斗片，女生则较不欣赏。就以我自己来说好了，对打斗片没什么兴趣。常常在电影中对打的时候都不太留神，尤其是对打很多很长的时候更觉得无聊。可是这一次，这一部戏，<<导火线>>中的对打争斗戏，竟让我觉得好看。你看到了吗？没错，我是说‘好看！’，‘精彩！！’。哈哈，真的好看。我虽然不懂得怎么样去深入正确欣赏对打，但我觉得这部戏中的对打方式很不一样。他们不只是纯粹地在打架，而是打得很认真，很讲技术，很有TECHNIQUE！打得非常漂亮，非常讲究！简直就是，好啊！！！哈哈。之后呢，我也听朋友说这部戏的确放了很多心思在打斗技术上。我忘了，好像是不知依那一个国家的对打技术了，泰国？不懂，我真的忘了。哈哈。另外，当中的对打也不会很虚假，很演戏，或觉得处处保留，要打不敢打，要揍又没用全力的。你真的可以感觉到他们真的被殴得很痛，血流得很真，每一拳都痛入肉底。总之就是，赞！
另一个可以证明这部电影‘赞’的证据是，我常常在跟这班好友看电影后，一重见光明，大家就会嘻哩哗啦地讨论起来，说说剧情，说说演员也好，有关当部电影的什么都聊。可是，这一次，从电影院出来开始，一直到走在广场，一直到上了车，开了车，大家都还是静静的。我感觉奇怪又好笑，终于忍不住开口问了。‘点解今次你地禁静既？嗯好似平时锦讲戏既？’。结果他们笑了，‘总痛紧！’。哈哈，原来他们都一样很入戏，而且是入得很紧要的那一种！结果就开始你一句我一句地，精彩有趣地聊了起来。‘哇。。斯。。痛都啊！！！’

还是不信？哈哈。赶快也去看一看吧！
之后记得再回来这里留言聊聊咯！
