Movie Reviews of Three Times
Movie Review: Not for normal viewers
Summary: 1 Stars
Ok, maybe this movie is for those that like obscure, "artsie" films, but for the normal watcher, I do not advise getting this film. I enjoy Asian film and am a fan of Shu Qi, but this was boring and tedious to watch.
The film is divided into three separate short films:
1. In 1966, where Shu Qi working at a pool hall, meets the main male role. He goes to war, comes back can't find her, then goes around the country looking for her. Finds her, then holds hands. Very little dialogue, and that's about it.
2. I believe, it's 1922, the film is in color, but has no speaking parts, but written, like it was a silent film. She's a prostitute in a professional brothel, he comes to visit her while he travels the country with a famous poet. A girl in the brothel gets pregnant, he helps the "father" to buy the other girl, but won't buy Shu Qi out of brothel, and that's about it.
3. In 1995, Shu Qi is a bi-sexual girl with tattoos, who spends most of the film smoking cigarettes and riding a motorcycle, and her "girl-friend" commits suicide because she is out with a man (I guess, it doesn't give many details).
So, three short boring films, very very little dialogue, very little action, no sex, no nudity, but a lot of time waiting for something to happen- which never does!
Movie Review: Failed attempt of art movie
Summary: 1 Stars
I expected so much more from this film. We are supposed to see three unrelated love stories from 1911, 1966 and 2005. These stories are not presented in the same order and 1911 is pretention of old, no sound movie, where the music composition is the only way of following the plot. All three plots are incredibly slow and boring. I liked 1911 story pnly for the reason that costumes were great. It has been a while that I felt that movie is a drag. This one definitely falls into that category. I have never been glad that film is over until I saw this one.Movie Review: Except for the first story, this one left us flat.
Summary: 1 Stars
The first of the three stories in the movie is a very touching story, one anyone could enjoy. Unfortunately, the second two stories left both my wife and me completely flat. The second one is made like a silent movie, with a bit of acting, then the story in writing is shown, then back to the acting and so on. Neither of us could figure out what was supposed to be the romance in the last story. There are many better Chinese-language movies than this one.Movie Review: Maybe the most boring movie I ever saw
Summary: 1 Stars
If you look at this movie, make sure you do while you are very awake. It is slow and very boring. There's no storyline, the camera shows no notable movement for long periods of time, it is a movie for critics, not for regular folk. Unless you are a film critic, stay away from this. It is NO MASTERPIECE, forgive my saying it.Movie Review: Eternally Boring & Terribly Serious
Summary: 1 Stars
"A masterpiece!"
Maybe..For me, this is kind of film that makes me eternally boring mainly because it is so serious and so heavy. A good try for a film student with visual and musical sensitivity, but felt like a sociological treatise. Failed as a story.
