may be an enjoyable movie to foreigners, but as a local hongkie, it fails to capture the atmosphere in hk during that emotionally tumultuous period. Afterall, what does a Taiwanese director know about HK? Watch Golden Chicken 1&2, The Longest Summer by Fruit Chan, and you'll start to get a taste of life in HK

Eh. It seemed a bit like the director couldn't decide where he wanted to go with this movie. Was is about a dying British man on the eve of the PRC takeover? Was it a story about the people of Hong Kong and how they're lives were before and how they will be after? Was is a political commentary? Who knows because none of the themes were very clear. I didn't feel much chemistry between Irons and Li. And honestly, I would've liked to see more of Cheung. She was the most interesting character. And whoever said "less close ups of her eyes," well, personally, her eyes tell more of a story than the entire narrative actually did.

I would have enjoyed it much more if they had spent less time on close ups of Maggie Cheung's eyes and more time exploring Hong Kong and getting a better sense of the atmosphere of 1997

this one has some good points to recommend it, however it is a mixed bag. the acting is mostly good. the story is complex and involving, but in the end too much work to try to figure out the meaning. a positive aspect of the story is how, through the friendship of the jeremy irons character, the female lead is able to move beyond an enslaving, limiting, relationship that has no reference to destiny. on the flip side, the irons character trades his own destiny for his obsession- embracing a tiny and fleeting slice of illusory "happiness" for dieing an adulterer, a betrayer of his family.

another winner from one of my fave WORKING directors, Wayne Wang ('the joy luck club' and 'smoke'
