千年女優 : Millenium Actress


i got the DVD from my sister last spring when i was in Prague but never got around to watching it.. so since i was looking for someothing to watch i decided to give it a try.. the DVD was kind of faulty, so i had to use VLC to play it instead.. sigh... thank goodness for VLC haha.. on to the review..

A 2001 movie about a women chasing her love.. definitely not for kids, not due to language or violence etc.., but cause kids won't understand it..

and if you didn't understand the show called.. hero.. a chinese show with jet li, tony leung, and maggie cheung, then i doubt you will understand this either.. they are somewhat similiar...

the story covers, a young girl who helps a government rebel, and falls in love with him, but he is forced to flee.. thus the storie follows her attempts to find him...

it starts off with her being an actress, and blending her movies (acting) with her reality..

the story seemed to have started from the feudal era, where she was cursed not to find her love, and follows her through the ages till modern space travel, making it seemed like she had searched for her love for a thousand years...

the ending is bittersweet... chasing after a shadow all these years, she is (hopefully) finally reunited with her love..

was watching this show as i felt it was too early to sleep, though my medication is making me drowsy already now..

what medication? hmm well today.. or more like make it yesterday since it's already 1am.. i went for a minor surgery to extract my wisdom tooth.. once that is healed i will have to extract the last one.. and good riddance to it all...

yup so due to that, i was given medication.. antibiotics etc.. but it's the painkillers that is making me drowsy.. so signing off...

if you think you can understand Sennen joyuu then give the movie a try... it touches you emotionally...
