That looks cool, I like the sound design too.
"In the Walled City...", as on Nostr, "If you give help... You'll get help back"
😊 people were bonded by this mantra. The Walled City was truly autonomous then (not in a nice way). It was not part of any constitution and was run outside the judiciary of the Hong Kong Government, the Qing Imperial Court of China, and the British Government. Regarding to the film, my little cousin told me the fight choreography was arranged by a Japanese master who speaks fluent Cantonese.
I think the world could have done fine with 26000m2 of true autonomy there. The more I learn about it today, the more I respect it.
"Kowloon Walled City inspired the author William Gibson, he called it 'a hive of dream'"
A hive of dream it was for those who made it theirs. But, it was also a place of extreme violent and insanitary. Since they didn’t get any govt fundings, they would have to make do improvise and built from the ground with little resources in the beginning. I cannot imagine living there. Anyway, the city was gone and the redevelopment of the district starts in a few months…
That trailer looks good
Hi Yodl! Yes, it looks good. Apparently its premier at the Cannes got a 10mins standing ovation…I missed it when it was open in the UK last year
Oh wow, looks like it did well (just checked out Wikipedia). Was just talking martial arts movies earlier this morning. I'm taking it as a sign to watch this. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
Oh yes, don’t ignore signs! 😁 but thank Gregor, I randomly saw his reply to Gladstein, thought Id reply with this trailer and then attracted you!
Saving it for next movie night
It’s out on VHS already? 😂 Let me know if you like it!
lol is that a diss on the state of tech in the great US of A?!
Let you know if I see it 🫡🦅🇺🇸
Thank you for the shoutout, Wonky, I appreciate what this thread brought out.
Oh and for the full record, I only saw the question because of nostr:npub1wucnc53kjjlue2s9qdqppan3gczqnququalp8hhd5sxuj9p8aafs9eha2m regularly dunking on nostr:npub1trr5r2nrpsk6xkjk5a7p6pfcryyt6yzsflwjmz6r7uj7lfkjxxtq78hdpu, so a real Butterfly Effect event chain
The never ending thread. Now I want to know what made Callum post what he posted that led to Gladstein’s reply!
Oh, Callum posts his very own style of commentary here, feel free to check out that particular link in the chain here
