Ye ban ge sheng (1995)
The songs are the good part of this movie. Other than that...
the acting is not convincing. The plot, the set, the indoor lighting, everything looks artificial. It's a mixture of romeo and juliet with phantom of the opera only without the real touch. What a pity that there are not as many good movies made in Hong Kong anymore.
The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)
Good thrill but not as dramatic as the original Tom Ripley...
You pay a price to be who you wanna be. But Ripley paid more than he could afford. High tension in this movie kept me at the edge of the seat.
Then I recognized this one is a clone to an earlier movie. I much prefer the original make in the '60s directed by Rene Clement. That one had a dramatic ending and beautiful cinematography which I really recommend!
If you hadn't seen "Purple Noon", you would enjoy this new one. Otherwise, "Purple Noon" definitely earned more rewards in its time.
