The Promise (wuji)

[kidd]

well, good thing that the copy of the movie that I have was given for free because if I really did buy it, it was a waste of money! I felt really sorry for Nic because I'm a fan of him and I really didn't want him to die even though he was really evil person in the movie. At first I thought the little kid at the beginning was Kun Lun but I later found out at the end that is was the princess. I hated the goddess because her hair looked too fake!

How can u think the little begger kid was Kun Lun? Didn't u hear what the goddess said to her? She said (not exact quote) "u can have all the luxury in the world and can attract all men but u won't have true love".

Does this description fits the downtrodden male slave Kun Lun? That description obviously is for the princess.

well, kun lun could attract men too, i just didn't know which was which

[kidd]

well, kun lun could attract men too

I'll refrain from making BBM jokes about this comment.

THis movie... erm what WASs it about? Everything happend just because of a bun?>

Hah, funny you mentioned it...someone made a parody based on Wuji called "Yi Zhi Man Tou Ying Fa de Xue An," or "A Bloody Case Caused By a Bun" (literal translation). Apparently, this video (free downloading on the internet) was really popular, even moreso than Wu Ji, and most people who watch it agree with it. Apparently the director of Wu Ji (Chen Kai Ge) is suing the maker of the video.

I just finished watching this movie and was not what I expected. It sucked. I like Jang Dong Gun, but hated his role. As for Nic Tse, I've watched him in this movie and the series The Handsome Siblings, he could pass as a eunuch in those characters, it's just something about his acting, sorry Nic fans...

But I like Chen Hong

Much Ado over a Crappy movie

Mr. Hu was kind when he called The Promise mediocre; I would call it a disappointing piece of hyped-up crap.

[Sugar]

Hmm.. actually.. I thought this movie was good despite the 'thing' in there that the audience might thought is very important, but actually, not all that important... and, the ending was pretty messed up and crappy. Felt sorry for Nic though.. and.. yeah, this movie is not for underages, lol.

they had a fight for a piece of food!!!

and to Kidd, what is BBM?

Brokeback Mountain. By BBM joke I mean gay joke because u said Kun Lun could attract men too.

yep, the chinese bbs folks were all over it. apparently, "don't be so chen kai ge" became an internet phrase. seems like alot of people now not only despise the film but also the director.

[kidd]

Chen Kaige shouldn't have been so thin-skin and should have just laugh the matter off instead of sueing the guy. But I do feel sorry for him for the amount of hate he has gotten.

in canada never. I think in France they have it.

Ive talked to a lot of people about this movie, and most seem to agree it was pretty awful

However, because i watch many of these sci-fi movies and wuxia movies, the running through time and fighting did not seem as ridiculous to me as the most

i believe that after you watch the movie and get the plot, the movie becomes much more meaningful and enjoyable

and that golden thumbs up scepter used by Wuhuan, Nic Tse, was just amazing

[Sugar]

i sitll don't get how it was meaningful.. cause.. it was all basically a grudge of stealing a kid's bun

enlighten me

[Yu W3i]

the princess was poor....ba ba at first then she met the godess give her a wich that she can be a princess, but all the men she loved would die...ba ba..unless it snows in winter and the dead comes a love....so i just the point is not to be makes wish. (kind of stup1d)
