anyone else see it?
I saw it on DVD a few months ago. I really want to see it on the big screen because, while I think I loved it, I know I missed quite a bit - especially in the middle story, which nonetheless, I think, is my favorite of the three.
i heard its a charm.
man, 2006 is the year of The Three.
three times.
united 93.
x-men 3.
m:i 3.
i wonder what it means.. :ponder:
add the three burials of melquiades estrada
hou hsaio-hsien is using closeups! that's crazy.
ha!
anyway i think this is the best film of the year so far and will be at the end of it all. i'm as enthusiastic and in love with it now was i was with The New World when it came out. sort of.

It means Donald Kaufman's script will finally be produced!
gonna see it on the big screen in four hours, but no one wants to go with me!
edit:
came back from it. found two people to go with me. they were both more lukewarm about it than I was. I was pretty satisfied, but it felt like Hou Hsiao-Hsien lite, especially the third act of the film. it seemed like it could've gone deeper, even the cinematography was less contrasty. I really really loved Shi Qi's performance, but I felt like it could've been even slower and longer in each sequence. the film got a little sloppy in its poignance.
