I'll be happy to remember this one

Rating: 9/10 (28 October 2006)

This movie is beautiful, funny and poetic, and compared to other Asian movies really great. The actors are braver than any American actors I've seen in a looong time. This movie had me going till the end. I think the fighting scenes are justified because our hero is literally fighting to discover the truth. Can you imagine being locked away, your past taken from you? No? Well I can. And I must confess after having seen the whole thing thru, I turned off everything and just sat there and it came to me - this sense of having been filled by a story that ended in a truly emotional state, a bit like Der Untergang, the Hitler-movie... Also, I had to really keep my eyes open during the film (also cuz the subtitles were a bit distorted) but because I did, I got the whole thing. I saw this movie with my girlfriend, and she didn't catch as much as I did. See it slowly, take yer time and make sure you're in the right mood. Just like always.
