The curse of the super push up bra

For the super blur...I am referring to the movie, the curse of the golden flower, which in my opinion, should be retitled as above. Why? Cos every one of those women who's breasts were pushed up way up defying all laws of gravity were cursed. The Empress? Huge assets,her husband poisoning her, all her sons killed...The doctors daughter? Amazing push up, slept with half brother,killed by a sword...oooh, her mother, no push up... but also cursed, ended up dead in a hail of javelins.

There were only two things that caught my eye in this movie....Jay Chou and the fact that not one of these women actually ended up censored. Well, in all fairness, there was only cleavage lah, no actual nipples showing...but boy...could those things bounce. And in every scene, the bustier girls would be in front....I guess sex sells. I doubt that the clothes in China at that time were designed that way and if they were, they failed to pass down to us the art of the super push up bra. I've yet to see a Qipao with this added feature.

All in all, the fighting scene's were so so only lah, the normal Chinese fly here fly there kung fu lah. Seen many times before type? But I reckon the producers borrowed a lot of scenes from different cultures. One army looked and fought like ninjas and one army had shields the kind the Trojans/ Alexander the Great would have used. Somehow I didn't like the lack of originality in this movie. The story line was also so so lah, I suppose the visual stimulation the movie provided is enough to get people to watch. But I still think defying gravity like that, must have hurt.

Oh well the movie sucked and i was 'cursing' the entire show. It's amazing that the doc's daughter had 3 quarts of her bosom hanging out in the open most of the time and the corsets seemed to plunge deeper as the movie proceeded...reckon there must be lots of 'wardrobe malfunction' during filming...

Did anyone happened to notice that Jay Chou's pupils dilated? Hahahaha...just kidding...;P

Well UV, I think most of the male audience's pupils were dilated...kekeke...amazing how no one "chou kong" right? Or maybe they digitally erased the nipples during post production?

Ultraviolet said...

yeah, that was really amazing...i mean i'm not being 'ham sap' or anything but i was trying hard to spot some 'red beans' spillover during the show...LOL...

yeah, i suspect they digitally erased it liao..

Yup the movie was really bad. Very disappointing for a Zhang Yimou film. Thought he copied a lot of the action sequences from Lord of the Rings too. It was strange though that the dialogue was in Cantonese and not the original Mandarin version isn't being shown in our local cinemas.

Yea, we were wondering the very same thing. Thought originally in mandarin too. A bit disappointed lar
