Perhaps Love?
******* out of ********** (thats 7 out of 10 for the visually impaired)
I have never had a liking for soapy lovey dovey movies. In a matter of fact, i have never watched one in a cineplex (well, if i discount Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride, that is). I watched perhaps love a couple of weeks back at One Utama. It is rather weird that i have been dying to watch it since i saw the trailer on tv. nevertheless, watched it i did (i mean we did, there was fatass, lampost and hobbit).
Okay, i admit it, i am not gay but i am a takeshi kaneshiro fan Wuahaha. that shud explain my eagerness to watch it. plus i am into musicals too (altho i havent watch one since i was like… 5, the last one i watched was Sound of Music… together now "raindrops of roses and whiskers on kittens ..").
Enough blabbering and lets get on with my review:
Everyone did pretty well (acting wise). except for takeshi… sigh, if he does not possess that dashing good looks to shield his piss poor acting ability. did i mention he actually sang in the movie, and i believed majority of the people watching actually choked on their salivas. yeah, he sings like silverback gorilla mating ritual. Zhou Xun (the big eyed, KLIA china chick) cant sing as well. about the only person that sings well is… guess who, jacky cheung *yawn*.
The movie is quite colourful, unfortunately the audio lets everyone down. As for the story, one sentence… crappy triangle love crap. that is quite crappy but that is what love movies are for, so i am not complaining.
Overall i would consider this a change from the usual dose of cartoon, sex, and mindless actions i usually get and it is refreshing. worth a watch just to hear how bad takeshi sings. Its RM 6 well spent in my opinion.
