The acting is good, but there is no back story. There was too much wandering around. I understand the overview of the storyline, I don't get it where this was heading..
Umm in a movie it usually has a beginning...a middle...and an end......where in the world is the end?????
I actually like this movie an how it makes you wonder, how would your life be or for someone in your family to be in Wai's shoes. Though I agree there are some pot holes to the movie, but I wouldn't change it or add anything to it. To me, this movie has some aspects to gain by watching it , but only if you really soak it in can you grasp it. Most movies just feed you stories, which we are use to seeing. Just my input, I kinda hope for more...then again I like it at a cliff hanger. A cliff hanger just like life.
It would have been better if the story focuses primarily on Wei (amnesiac) awakening to his past and building a relationship with his estrange little daughter at the same time. This would have hold audience interest and gain support for Wei's character.
Where was this going? Sad, dark and unfinished. The ending left me wondering if the writers went on strike... Why was this film chosen? Oh well...
I thought that this movie was going to be really good (and it was!) until the end. ... I have no words for the end. I just...it's disappointing really. The ONLY reason I gave this 3 stars instead of 1 is because of the male lead. He made the story believable. I was hoping to see his character develop into something even more beautiful. Le flippin' sigh...
