Miscellaneous Movie Musings

Still doesn't interest you in the sense that you watched and still don't care or that you could easily watch it and don't care enough to actually do so?

What I found with Hero and House of Flying Daggers is that people seem to prefer whichever they saw first and then begin to grow weary of the slow beauty. Unfortunatly, I grew weary of it halfway through the first one (Hero) and had no tolerance for it in House of Flying Daggers. I liked that Curse of the Golden Flower kept the same style but focused the actual story down to a family of five people without losing the wu xia excesses.

Though he's still struggling to reach the balance of grace and story that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon had (and allowed it to reach such crossover success with American audiences not inclined towards the wu xia style).
