Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
Great movie, great acting
It's a story about love, have courage to respond to your calling, and letting go. Great acting and the whole package of the whole movie is awesomely done. Though I don't think the marketing of the film is good, for almost zero campaign regarding this film is seen prior it debute. Another thing worth mention is Chinese people just won't fight or even threaten to "kill" his/her parent, not to mention to even fight in front of parent's tomb. Marvel could have avoid the fighting thing in the shrine, since Chinese culture just won't allow anything disrespectful the ancestors at all.
The story line of wenwu(Tony Leung), his character and his love towards his son and daughter is obvious, and Leung did a great job acting as a Chinese stubborn strict father who's afraid his legacy will be lost and desperately want to build an empire to conquer all. He loved his son and let his son do whatever he wanted for ten years. And though he had it all, wenwu realized he can never get over his wife and he wanted to see her so badly, he became delusional and knowing it's not possible but still wanted to break the gate in Talo.
The story of why Webwu is like this is solid. But shangchi wise, is not. The movie would be better if shangchi showed a bit of affection towards wenwu and his sister. Also, in ancient Chinese society, women often has to learn to play music, sewing, or painting and play chess. Shangchi's sister could have done other stuff, rather than peeping aside and not being able to learn anything in her childhood, since Wenwu supposed to love her as well. In regards of wenwu's power and money, it shouldn't be hard to find his offsprings proper tutor.
CGI wise is intriguing, you will see some characters from ancient Chinese Shan hai jing. It pretty much like Jurassic park in Marvel universe.
Btw, we need more Tony Leung in Hollywood.
Irrational Man (2015)
Dark and beautifully done
The plot is interesting. A charming and intelligent philosophy professor who's mellow over not finding meaning of being alive. And his colleague, Lisa who's a professor married to someone else, and student, Jill, who's already having a steady boyfriend all laid their eyes on him. And fell for his fragile sad history and charm.
The twist is really intriguing, great movie!
Wo men yu e de ju li (2019)
Epic series, must watch
Reflect the news via different perspectives, very compelling.
Hotel Mumbai (2018)
Realistic and slow paced
Almost forgot about this tragic incident. The movie is a bit cliche yet compelling with realistic touch, some of the scenes are tragically beautiful like the same staircase they swirling up to find shelter is the Same one They are trying to escape from for survival .
It's not Hollywood style mega explosive type of bombing, but rather subtle style of intensive atmosphere. You get a bit of idea of the terrorist mindset, like they are just kids being brainwashed by leader. They are fighting for their beliefs, and non of the infidel would understand...
Other then that, you will get the tingling idea of how wonderful it is to be alive. Simply belong alive to see the dawn of another day is a blessing.
