The Warlords

10 Things I Learnt From The Movie The Warlords
(That's 投名状 if you're China-fied.)



1) Even martial-art kings get fat once they've aged. Tee hee hee.


2) Every man wants to be a hero. Even if they have to go face-down in the dirt in order to get there, they'll think that heroism is worth a little dust on the cheek. (They don't care if they get their clothes dirty in the process. It's not like they do their own laundry anyways. Pfft. Babies.)


3) True warriors fight with principle. They are men with a conscience... and they listen to it. There's a fine line between right and wrong, and they always know which side of that line to be on.


4) Always watch your back. It's a crazy, mixed-up world out there. You never know who's out to shoot you down.


5) Promises are meant to be kept. When they're not, relationships crumble. If you're not gonna keep it, don't bother making it. The person you said it to would have been better off without it.


6) Even the greatest of warriors fall into sin. And somehow, women appear to be man's greatest sin-inducing product on two legs. I hate that. Apa brotherhood also fly out the window.


7) Even crater-faces get lead actor roles in big-budget movies. Looks like there's hope for the rest of us yet.


8) Go macro. Always remember to look at the big picture. There's more to everything than just you. Plus, big-picture people tend to be the ones who eventually make it to the top.


9) War is a merciless destroyer of lives. It leaves behind, massive trails of deadened-but-still-beating hearts. There are always better ways to solve disputes.


10) Takeshi Kaneshiro is so leng chai! *salivates* Need I say more?




Go watch. Very nice. Too bad they rejected the offer for an Oscars nomination. I'm still loaded with questions so if you've watched it, I wouldn't mind a discussion. Proceed to comments page for that, alright? Some people aren't into spoilers so I shan't speak of the unspeakable here.


See, I so considerate. Hmmph!

Abas KS said...

wah..surely it is a very the very GORY movie huh

body parts flying around in a battle field..you know crazy wars.

I got to watch it because I like movies with epic battle scenes, you know..lifting background music before the battle..ahh....so worth the movie sponsor's money..Lol :) maybe some pretty ladies in it too huh

ATTN: ming
– Haha. He's not bad for his age lah. I'll give him that. Still quite dashing. Haha.

And dun just keep thinking of eating lah! Go study can or not!?


ATTN: a.i. editor
– Haha. No lah. Not gory wan. More of understanding strategy and the politics of Chinese warfare. Little bit gore only. =)

And this wan... no pretty ladies lah. If that's what you're looking for, you'll be greatly disappointed. The whole movie one main woman only. And even then, half the time she looks so dirty... like a beggar. Oh, and her baju bungkus everything wan. HAHA.

But this movie definitely worth watching. The director did this movie outside his comfort zone but it's so geng!!!

Abas KS said...

I wonder why they like the main characters & a few other cast like to cry in battle.

Big men crying..huhuh Lol :) pbpbht :P

I saw the trailer, only one severed head. pbpbht :P

As you mentioned, the Warlords movie is probably not so gory as I expected.

Pam Song said...

Haha. They like all the crying crying cos it shows that these heroes are everyday men like you and me. They're human, too. But great ones with a greater calling.

It's no longer like last time already lah. Superman and all that is old school di. If the guy fight fight fight then never get dirty, never get cut, never die, nobody will believe the story di. It kills the fighting spirit once you know that no matter what, the person cannot be defeated wan.

That severed head is an important scene. That's the only reason they put so much emphasis on it. Other than that, nothing lah. They didn't even show him cutting the head off. By the time show, he just angkat it only. Snore.

– If I purposely, then what for I bother replying after that?

And please, I don't need other ppl to give me credit for things that I do but they don't recognize. It's all about having a healthy sense of self. *beams*

I also dun read his blog wan. Too... much. I dunno how else to explain. Just too much. Haha.

And Jet is freaking fat now lah. Those are not muscles under the clothes. That's FLAB. Men are too absorbed with all that flying testosterone that they fail to see the truth in the matter.
