Went to catch 茶舞 with Clarence and Yida a few hours ago at Jubilee. Didn’t realise it’s NC16 until i bought tickets. Guess I dont really care unless it’s a R21 show eh? In fact very soon i wont have to care about the rating liao. haha.
Kinda lazy to review this in Chinese ‘cos i take too long to type and think in Chinese (as compared to English.) So here goes:
This movie is supposed to be based in HK (or so I heard?) and it’s filmed entirely in Singapore. It’s fine being filmed entirely in Singapore but at least get some details right lah. They used 8 digits for fax number (iirc HK uses 8 digits), so that’s fine. The train station used wasn’t any of our MRT stations so that’s fine too. Chinese newspapers were written in traditionalNvm the road signs cos it doesnt really matter. At least get the car plates right. Maybe it’s due to Singapore’s stringent laws and dont allow such plates even for filming purposes? Shrugs.
Subtitles were a little weird at times. Gotta work on that too. But overall not bad lah.
Overall, the story isnt really very complex, just that the way it is presented can be quite confusing. The events shown are not in chronological sequence and u’ll only realise it towards the end of the movie. So towards the end of the movie, u’ll be in a state to figure things out and piece together the sequence that the events happened chronologically. I guess that’s why the posters’ design all use jigsaw pieces, cos u’ll have to piece these events together so that they fit nicely and form a smooth flow in progress of story/plot. I guess that’s the most worthy part of the movie? Haha. And oh, Francis Ng’s acting is pretty good as usual =)
A pretty okay-ish movie. Rating: 3/5
