This movie is beautiful., 2 June 2005

Period.

I intended to write no more, but it seems I must submit at least ten lines, so I will write the ten lines, but nothing more of interest shall be added. Many times Johnnie To's movies are masterpieces, for example PTU is an involuntary masterpiece, Dung fong saam hap, (The Heroic Trio) is an all-out masterpiece, Breaking News is a crafty self-conscious masterpiece, Yau doh lung fu bong, that is this movie, a serene, and a little facetious, masterpiece (salute to Master Kurosawa included). I don't know Whom but I want to give thanks for the existence of Johnnie To. Still I am short a couple of lines, so I must keep typing my in-praise-of-johnny-to palaver until I don't receive the message saying I did not reach the ten lines I'm required. There is a reviewer who wrote he went back to his Judo after he saw this movie, he also stated he planned to visit Japan in order to know Judo's homeland. Well, I will not resume my Judo training since I never practiced but I will travel to Hong Kong in order to know movie's new homeland, and pay tribute to Sensei To.
