It was an eventful evening as Sluttila and me went out for dinner tonight. Having not caught up with Sluttila for some time over dinner, it was a good outing. We went to the Gardens and decided to have dinner at DIN DA FUNG, the xiao long bao outlet. After dinner, we thought of what we wanted to do for the rest of the evening, and then decided to watch a movie.
We had several choices but we wanted to watch LUST, CAUTION - since Slutilla had this fetish for "qibao" (cheongsam in dialect) and so it was.
The verdict of it, a two hour show (no thanks to our Censors here) it was shorten to about 15 minutes, it was pretty much slow moving, the build up was tremendous and the ending abit abrupt. Tang Wei had this look that really blended with that era and Tony Leung, although aged, still look resplendent. In a nutshell, the two most powering characters in this film is Tang Wei and Tony Leung. Even the dashing Lee Hom failed miserably to these two. In fact, I found Lee Hom's character to be a bit weak and aimless. But, I know why he was roped in, he was the look factor for this movie.
So, if you have not or plan to watch it, maybe give it a shot...I sat through it for 2 hours plus and came out learning more about the "qibao" ladies of that era. Oh yes, don't forget the fabulous mahjong sessions, the next time we organize one, maybe Sluttila would have a theme for it? - QIBAO night!
