Ani - for the archive, maybe ?

and, for balance's sake, a reviewer that gets it

and one that doesn't (want to)
http://screeninvasion.com/2013/09/man-of-tai-chi-fantastic-fest-review/


and this one's a mix of both. but seriously, now. how can someone get the jokes but not the symbolism? :|

Man of Tai Chi is a film that shows considerable promise and even more impressively, confidence as a director.

well, DUH.

She says wide release in US but I am not feeling it. Not after a VOD release... still it sounds good to me!

I just got done watching MOTC so I am a little too thrilled with it right now.
Of course I saw the pirate version awhile back and that review was removed from this site and maybe I am am waiting to hear about that. This VOD version that I viewed on IPad is so damn much fun in all its crispness! And it is satisfying the way it all comes together. The ending is perfect in its celebration of real life with the study of the white sky of Beijing. Very much the professional film. At no point was I not engrossed in the story. Not one moment was there any drag. The escalation of each fight was seamless. Tiger is so kinetically beautiful and his close ups are pure and beautiful too! I tried not to read many of the reviews but from what I remember every single negative criticism was so totally biased of perception and wrong :)
Donaka was terrifyingly evil and spot on in every one of his lines/scenes. The camp aspect was not what was leaping out at me but there were some OTT moments. I may have heard someone say that this was very much Reeves story with Tiger playing the Reeves role that is transference from his real life to this martial arts kung fu tale...and this I tend to believe. Anyone who knows the story of Dr Faustus would seen the similarities.
Still not sure why MOTC did not do better box office in China. I believe the fans there may have typecast Keanu as Neo and not ready for this character.
For me 5 out of 5 stars. This movie will be great in slow motion! There had better be extras on the dvd or I will cry for days...

Ask and it shall be given to you, huh? well, sometimes, when the moment is right... it can happen. and when it does...

was given the chance to really watch MOTC. the sharp, crispy clear version of it, as it was meant to be watched... It's beautiful. it's simply, downright, literally, absolutely, totally, most excellently beautiful.
no, I'm not crying, it's just that it's waaaay past 2 am and the tv screen was too big and my eyes are tired and an eyelash got in the way and my make-up is a total mess and... and... dammit. :|
