I think you guessed october for the release date before and i think you’re right

It’s not really about guessing , I sound repetitive but it’s when HofD is wrapping , it starts today August 21 , the show has 10 episodes, so will wrap on October 23 (idk if they will release more than one episode today, I don’t believe that) so either HBO will release right after on October 30 , idk so I would say November 6? About any day now lol.

If I did the math right cause I am not good at it 🤣

THINGS I WATCHED IN 2020: House of Flying Daggers (2004)

A rare beauty in the North. She's the finest lady on earth. A glance from her, the whole city goes down. A second glance leaves the nation in ruins. There exists no city or nation that has been more cherished than a beauty like this.

Been seeing so much Matt Smith slander lately and I need people to understand that it’s his charisma, his demeanour, his energy! He is so bloody charming, just watch an interview and tell me you aren’t absolutely enamoured by this man! He’s so cheeky and relaxed and just exudes this quiet confidence. How can anyone not love him?

Are you still watching HotD? The first 6 episodes are interesting but I don’t feel like watching anymore. The characters in the Dance era weren’t all that interesting to me when I read TWOIAF and Fire and Blood, and this show hasn’t changed my mind on that. That said, what do you think of the reveal that the “Song of Ice and Fire” was actually a prophetic dream Aegon the Conqueror had?

I didn’t watch last night’s episode, but I’m kind of having the opposite experience? I didn’t like the first two episodes. They were too grim and gross and presenting this simple and reductive narrative of all these noble girls being forced into arranged marriages and being complete agent-less victims. But now that Rhaenyra and Alicent are older, I think it’s getting way more complicated and interesting. I love Rhaenyra and Laenor’s relationship for example. It’s basically the relationship I wrote for Dany and Willas in Crow Flies, and I’m into it. Although I still just feel like this is a placeholder for what I really want, which is to read Winds of Winter.

In terms of the “Song of Ice and Fire” reveal, I actually kind of hate it? I think it’s really lazy storytelling. We knew that Rhaegar was obsessed with prophecy. I think it would have been way more interesting if that prophecy was something that developed once the Targs came over and were integrating into Westerosi culture. Think of the dramatic possibilities if Viserys and Rhaenyra knew a witch in Westeros who spoke of an old prophecy from the time of the first men, and the show dramatized them figuring out that it referred to them and their destiny. It could have been cool, but Aegon having a dream just seems like lazy retconning to me.

January 13: House of Flying Daggers (Epilogue)

I think Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon has ruined me. Because this movie was great, seriously. Was it as good as CTHD?

No. No, it was not. Yeah, I liked it a lot, LOVED it even. And BOY, it had me guessing in the third act, I tell you what. But it wasn’t as good as Ang Lee’s outing in the wuxia genre, at least in my opinion. 

But OK, what was actually good about it? A LOT, don’t you worry. But, let’s go through it bit-by-bit, shall we?

Review

Cast and Acting

Ah, Zhang Ziyi. The first time I saw you was in Memoirs of a Geisha, because my Mom asked me to read the book with her, and we watched the movie in theaters when it came out in 2005. As I recall, you didn’t really speak English when making that movie, but you were still awesome in it. Years later, I watched Hero, another Zhang Yimou movie, and while your part was smaller, I definitely noticed you. Then, yesterday, I watched your absolutely wonderful performance in CTHD, and wow. BLOWN away, you should’ve been nominated for an Oscar. And in this film today...you were great! Different from all three other roles I’ve seen you in, but still fantastic as Xiao Mei. Thank you, Zhang Ziyi, for being awesome. Also, apparently, you were in The Cloverfield Paradox, but that film was SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT, so I don’t remember you in it, sorry. Also, Andy Lau and Takeshi Kaneshiro, you guys were also great, seriously. 10/10, guys, 10/10.

Plot and Writing

Straightforward plot, great story, and a twist on the Liar Revealed story, by changing the Liar entirely! See, I HATE that trope, so very goddamn much. I’m sure I’ll go into it one of these days, but it’s genuinely my least favorite film trope of all time. So, when they were setting it up, I was fully prepared to rip into it in this review. Instead, I praise how they did it, because I REALLY wasn’t expecting it! Not just that, but there wasn’t any seen blowback from the revelations! THERE WERE JUST MORE REVELATIONS!!! I loved that, lemme tell you. Good job, Li Feng, Peter Wu, Wang Bin, and Zhang Yimou! Ya killed it. Well...mostly. I mean, it’s a great story...not an original one. Elements of it, yeah, for sure. But two lovers on opposite sides? Two friends brought to blows over a shared love interest? A love triangle? That’s a tale as old as time. And I didn’t remove many points for that, because...c’mon. It’s a timeless love story, I’m not a monster. But it’s still one I’ve heard before. 8/10.

Directing and Action

Here’s the thing about House of Flying Daggers. At its very sweet, nougat-y center, it’s a romance, not an action film. And that’s expressed well through the direction, and how the action is treated. Whereas in CTHD, all of the action is essentially a conversation, revealing the characters to the audience and to each other, in HoFD...they’re basically just action scenes. Sure, there are character interactions laced within many of them, but the action scenes really are just cool action scenes. Because of that the fight choreography isn’t as tight and detailed as it was in CTHD, which makes sense as they’re serving separate purposes. And yet...I still feel like they should be. I do think the film suffers for not injecting as much meaning into its action sequences, except for arguably the very first and last sequence. Well, OK, was the action still good? Oh, FUCK yeah, it was still good! Just wasn’t a 10/10 for me. How about the directing? Oh, this film is beautifully shot, there’s no problem there. It’s Zhang Yimou, he knows how to use a camera. So, overall, we’re giving this a 9/10. Great! But not perfect.

Production Design

THIS category, however, gets an absolute 10/10. No questions, no quarter. This movie is BEAUTIFUL, from color pallete to sets to outfits. ESPECIALLY once we get to the actual HoFD, and to the bamboo forest. Their outfits have essentially changed a part of my personal aesthetic, and I now covet that bright green. And understand, for two summer, I lived and worked in the woods for field work in biology I KNOW green. And yet, this is the most beautiful green I’ve seen in a while. Even CTHD didn’t have a green quite this vibrant, and that green was BEAUTIFUL, don’t get me wrong. Zhao Xiaoding (cinematography), Emi Wada (costume design), you guys RULE. 10/10.

Music and Editing

Music is awesome, too! But...I’m not buying this soundtrack. Sorry, Shigeru Umebayashi, you did an amazing job. I mean that, sincerely. BUT if isn’t standout as memorable to me as CTFD was. But despite this, its still getting high marks. As for the editing, it’s great. Sound editing actually stuck out to me this time, and the film editing itself is quite good. What about the computer effects, added in post-production? Y’know, I could say that they look artificial, but...they’re kind of supposed to, right? At least, that’s my opinion. The artificiality of the thrown knives injects some wuxia-style fantasy and mysticism into a film that, let’s be honest...doesn’t really have any of that. No magic, no mystics, no nothin’. Just the beauty of a knife as swift as the wind itself. 9/10.

And that’s a 92%!

Great movie, even though it isn’t my favorite this month. And it’s been surprisingly slept on by US audiences in recent years, even though it was fairly successful when it premiered. Deserves more attention for its beauty and spectacle. And while it’s FAR more of a romance than it is an action movie, it’s still chock-full of that sweet, sweet wuxia action and bombast. Definitely has my acclaim.

Wuxia, man. Wuxia. Let’s take a break from it, though. Y’know, I was gonna do Ip Man this month, but I’m actually going to wait until the end of the month for that one. I’ll explain why when we get there. For now, let’s take a break from the martial arts film. Time to leave Hong Kong and China, and head to a different country.

What’re you doing, United Kingdom? Got any action genres for me?
