Riri Shushu no subete (2001)
A heartbreaking movie that you can't forget
It's about growth, it's about love, it's about friendship, hope and pains you felt in teenage.
Viridiana (1961)
Very outdated in my opinion
The actors and their performance are overall good but the topic of this movie is very outdated, it will not enlighten people nowadays, and it's actually quite boring to me. I felt the movie too long and couldn't finish it despite the fact that it only lasts about 90 minutes, I seldom have this feeling with other movies at such a high rating.
Considering it's an old movie, I think 6 point is very fair. Don't expect too much from this movie if you have not watched it yet.
Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)
Not bad for a laugh, but nothing more
I would rather give a 6 point if this movie is not of the 1940's. It's a bit too much even as a comedy to me. The storyline is quite simple and the performance of the actors are too dramatic, which makes the movie still funny but I will not watch it again or recommend it to people who has no bias towards old movies. Some movies still look great after more than half a century, but some are not. I'm afraid this movie is among those have gradually "faded away" in the ages.
Anatomy of a Murder (1959)
Good but not great
This movie worths its time but I was a bit disappointed when I finished it.
The performance of the actors are good, the storyline is OK, everything is fine so that you would like to watch it to the end, but no surprise, not at all. You know who will win and then they win. You know how they will win and they just did it.
I guess this movie will satisfy those who want to know about trials and US judicial system, but I think it's not a great movie for people live in 21 century or later.
The Village (2004)
Not that bad...
Current rating, which is 6.5, may suggest this is a very poor movie but it's not, actually. The music is just great and I would be happy to listen to the OST once in a while. The story line is just so-so but hey, you can find many worse movies at 6.5...
Personally I will give this movie a "7" but as it is so underrated, let me say 8.
Lian zhan Chong Cheng (2000)
Not perfect, but funny and relaxing
If you knew nothing about Leslie Cheung or Faye Wong, the movie might be boring, especially at the beginning. But if you know about them, the movie could be very interesting. Faye Wong is more well-known as a great singer who doesn't like to speak a lot while facing a camera and always has a bad relationship with the media, so it is very funny to see she acts herself in a movie. Leslie is very handsome and loved by Chinese fans, so it's also very funny to see him being awkward while chasing Faye.
Tony Leung's character is a "normal" or typical Hong Kong citizen, who lives a simple life but has a dream to do something "big". He is the most interesting character in the movie imho.
Vincent Kok, who is more famous as a scriptwriter & director, also distribute some interesting performance by keeping making fun of Leslie.
As some people said, the story line of this movie is not so great, you can find some logical problem in it, but I think it really doesn't matter for such a funny romance movie.
