Let the Bullets Fly Preview Screening

I won a pair of tickets to Let the Bullets Fly from Omy Dot Sg... As usual, Baby & I went for the preview screening... Met up Lynn & Louie @ GV Plaza as they were going for the movie preview too...

--- Posters Let the Bullets Fly <让子弹飞> ---

'Let the Bullets Fly' is a 2010 Chinese-Hong Kong co-production action comedy film written and directed by Jiang Wen, based on a story by Ma Shitu, a famous Sichuanese writer. 'Let the Bullets Fly' is about a gang of bandits from western China in the early 20th century and contains elements of suspense and black humor.

Set in China during the warring 1920s, the bandit Zhang Ma Zi aka Pocky Zhang (played by Jiang Wen) enters the remote Goose Town pretending to be their newly installed governor. Zhang is accompanied by Tang (starring Ge You). Zhang's aim at this position is opposed by local mobster Huang (played by Chow Yun Fatt) who lives in his fortified citadel overlooking the town. While Tang is aware of Huang's previous financial arrangement with the town's former governor, Zhang is not interested in sharing his wealth with a crook he finds to be as unworthy as himself.

The first impression of this movie is that it is a typical Hollywood style action-comedy. I found myself laughing right from the beginning to the end. The most attractive thing about this movie is that the story is quite coherent.

There are so many funny metaphors but you do need to be somewhat acquainted with Chinese to understand them. I think this will be a difficult film for non-Chinese to grasp, especially with a lot of dark chinese humor.

4/5


The poster-banners feature three leads - Jiang Wen, Chow Yun Fatt and Ge You. The posters depict Jiang Wen playing a bandit , Chow Yun Fatt as a mobster and Ge You is a con artist in this film.

Jiang Wen is a great actor as well as an awesome director. Every movie of his as him being a director is a classic to the public. 'Let the Bullets Fly' has become the highest grossing film in China's cinematic history.... Simply the best Chinese movie I ever watch!

I had the pleasure of watching the preview screening all thanks to Omy Dot Sg. The premiere date is on 31 March 2011.

Thanks for introducing COCOnCO from Korea which has helped me to achieve pleasant results from my beauty regime.   COCOnCO First Essence Toner  is a fermented facial essence, and it soothes wrinkles, tones, moisturizes and nourishes the skin, enhances blood circulation and metabolic processes at the cellular level, evens out complexion, brightens the skin, reduces the secretion of sebaceous glands and fights rashes. If you have pale, tired skin with sagging and fine lines, these can be miraculously transformed with regular use of the essence!
