Butterfly Lovers

I just came back from a movie with 2 of my best buddies, Zac and Jay. We watched the Butterfly Lovers (武俠梁祝) . This is not the usual butterfly lovers. It is a martial art genre movie. Overall, it is a nice movie. It is very beautifully filmed and produced. The Director is Jingle Ma (马楚成). The main actor is Wu Zhun (吳尊) from Taiwanese Boy band Fahrenheit and the main actress is Charlene Choi (蔡卓妍) from Hong Kong Contopop girl group Twins (i have no idea whether it still exist or not) . The acting was not that good. But we cannot expect much from them as they are still new to the industry. I couldn't comment much about Wu Zhun's acting because i only watched one of his Taiwanese drama which is the famous Hana Kimi in which i stopped halfway because i got bored with it. Charlene's acting was a little disappointing. I've seen her acted in several movies but i personally think she did not carry her character strong enough in this movie. She was so much better in some of her previous movie. Hmm...my guess is...i think she must be very tired these days. That's why she couldn't performed her best. Anyway, this is a nice movie to watch if you really know how to appreciate this kind of film. To be honest, the storyline is almost like Romeo and Juliet but it still carry the original idea of butterfly lovers.

Ok enough about the movie. Let me tell u about us. Jay was as usual, laughing over every scene in which i had no idea why is he laughing. Halfway through the movie, i even ask Zac what is Jay laughing at and Zac told me he also don't know. Luckily, i was not sitting next to Jay so i can concentrate. Zac had to engsiu Jay and laughed with him. Jay had a very interesting brain and observancy. His thinking can run very wild in certain scene. His observancy made him question a lot about the movie. Up till today, everytime i watched movie with him, i don't remember a single movie in which he did not laugh at. Even if everyone is crying, he is laughing by himself. Jay keep commenting on Wu Zhun's arm and it is so obvious that Charlene is a woman even though she dresses like a man. Zac just agree with him all the way. I feel so sorry for Zac. But it is always fun to have Jay in a movie because he always see another side of the movie and he is a pro in spotting flaws in a movie. Haha...

Anyway, I still prefer the original butterfly lovers which is so tragical. I can still remember The Lovers 1994 acted by Nicky Wu(吳奇隆) and Charlie Yeung (杨采妮). That is totally the greatest movie about the butterfly lovers up till today. I'm wondering why isn't TVB making a drama out of the story? If there is, i think the best candidate now is Raymond Lam(林峰) and Kate Tsui (徐子珊).
