Shi mian mai fu

Your Chinese that bad eh...well mine has been picking up after i spent like half an hour configuring subtitles for the afore named flick..ok in ENGLISH:

Just watched House of Flying Daggers and was so awestruck by Zhao Xiaoding's (same guy who did Hero) cinematography,there is no surprise behind the Bafta nominations it has recieved.

The best foreign language film snub for the Oscars is another story(shame on you academy!)...Overall the film had me to wondering:

1) China is an incredibly beautiful place..shouldnt it be tourist capital of the world??
2) zhang ziyi of crouching tiger hidden draggon fame is stunning!! there is a heated debate with my buddy if she is the hottest oriental chic that ever walked the planet..if you dont agree maybe you might want to look here, here and here.
2.5) on that note, why do women who kick butt always end up so much more appealing?
3) isnt Kung fu the shiiiit?!!!
4) not to get philosopical or anything..but is true love really about whether or not u will give ur life for them (literally as in die for them or figureatively as in give up all your hopes and dreams through marraige hehe)? the director of this flick has addresed this theme twice (first in Hero). Cant we all jus live happily ever after together???

and most important..
5) What am i doing watching movies on a tuesday night when ive got so much work to do????? (dont answer that please, let me save face)
