i am a fan of wong kar wai. so it is perfectly ok with me that a kung fu movie has very little fighting scenes, in fact what he did was trying to show that martial arts is about self restraint and not about using the fighting ability for self interest. i haven't seen wong's work for a while, i think the last was re-watching ashes of time (1994) with my brother a few years ago. so it is nice to be taken into wong's universe again - the place where people say very little but their facial muscles and manners convey the opposite, haunting music follows through the characters' raging emotions with period colors during the war years.
that floats my boat.
