Dance of the Dragon

I love dance films, but this is not just a dance film, it is a emotional roller coaster, I loved the cast in this film, so fresh and real. Every scene was like a Hollywood big screen movie. And I loved the end song Hero by enrique. I wanted to get up and dance in the cinema. I went with a group of girl friends and we were singing the song all the way home. By the end of the film the characters had been through so much you cannot help but rejoice at the end. A real feel good ending after an extremely well made drama. Going to see it again with my parents on the weekend. Must buy the soundtrack, great composition.

I found the movie to slow for my taste. But I should admit that this movie is an interesting movie. With a fort and back story line, little dialogs, and beautiful dance, the movie is worth to watch.

It has some memorable scene and dialog and I still have it in my mind for some time, which indicates that the movie was able to bring a lot of my attention.

There is another movie in the same genre entitled Billy Elliot, and in my opinion Billy Elliot provide much more interesting storyline and ending. But some aspects in the movie are totally different so we can not really compare the two of them.

Anyway, the movie is worth to watch. If you like a slow dance, you will love this movie.

Finally a great film comes out of Singapore, I attended the premiere and was blown away. The cinematography is stunning and the performances flawless. I have never seen Fann Wong look so beautiful, and her best performance to date. Jason Scott Lee puts in a great performance great to see him back on the big screen. And the Korean actor Jang Huyk steals the show, what an amazing talent. I am so happy to see a film that is not just another Singapore slap stick comedy, but a film with heart and beauty. My girlfriend cried three times... great work.. a must see. Usually Singapore films are drab and plain, But this film's design is beautiful.

I went to the sneak peaks screening of this film on the weekend at the cathay. I can't believe the Korean scenes were filmed in Singapore. I have been to Korean villages just like the one in the film, very authentic, well done, also the Korean family scenes are exactly the way I experienced it, most Singaporeans may not have seen these villages in Korea, the film is spot on!.. Jang Hyuk in this film gives his best performance to date, very different from the tough rolls in his series. Fann looks beautiful and I cried in two of her scenes. Jason Scott Lee is looking great and his performance is both touching and rewarding. well worth seeing this film!!!!!

This movie cannot be appreciated by those of a superficial nature. It is a profound drama with tales of romance and passion. Most of the show consists of scenes with the main characters in deep thought, leaving much of these thoughts to the viewer's imagination. In line with the typical Korean drama, this show may seem slow-moving but in actual fact is rich in emotions which one must delve deep into to understand. The three main actors have put on stunning performances, with Fann Wong still looking fabulous at her age. Her part as an ex-champion and dance instructor comes across most aptly through the pain one can notice in her eyes. Jang Hyuk does a very convincing portrayal of Tae, with his deep passion for dance able to successfully strike a chord in viewers. The soundtrack for the final scene was very appropriately selected, with fitting and moving lyrics. Beautiful cinematography. Good art-house fare.
