Caught the show today with Law and GY at GV Bishan after work. After watching the movie, I gotta say that it's overhyped and under expectations. The swordplay was rather good though as well as the song sung by zhou xun. Dun really know the name of the song though..
Zhang Ziyi's acting was rather lacklustre and Daniel Wu tries to play it cool in the show. Ge You excelled at being a nasty emperor and a "hum sup lou" a.k.a. old pervert.. But the best was Zhou Xun! She took on her role rather well as a member of the court in love with the prince (Daniel Wu) and her voice is just so mesmerizing... *swoonz*
Morale of the story after watching the Banquet: To kill off people as an emperor, DO NOT waste time having silly, expensive banquets but rather issue an imperial edict to kill off everyone who's trying to topple you as well as their entire 9 generations at one go...
On another note, another show to watch would be The Departed, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson. Weird name for a show but it's the American version of the popular cult movie, Infernal Affairs with Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Andy Lau! Caught the movie trailer before the Banquet started and as usual, the trailer was full of guns ablazing and spy-spy thingy.. Too bad never show the famous rooftop scene between the 2 main leads..
That's all for now! Will add more reviews of shows if I get a chance to catch them on the big screen!
