Perhaps Love: Most Definitely

Apr 24, 2006 12:51

I am in love. Madly, passionately, crazily. The object of this affection? Perhaps Love, a 2005 Chinese movie musical starring Takeshi Kaneshiro (does this man just get hotter with each movie I see him in, or what? And he can sing as well? Seriously, he must run over small children or something to counterbalance the wonderfulness), as well as Xun ( Read more... )

takeshi, movies, perhaps love, eye candy, the hotness of takeshi kaneshiro, asian movies

I'm full of consuming envy at the moment because I want to see this movie really badly!! :P The pictures are really pretty, thanks a lot for sharing them! And Takeshi is Gorgeous with a capital G!! I'll have to get me the dvd or a "totally legal download" asap!!!

It's a movie that is TOTALLY worthwhile to seek out. I am actually puzzled why I haven't heard of any US distribution deal yet (though for all I know, there is one out there and I haven't heard it). Grrrr.

Oh, my God, he looks so hot :DDDDD

Oh yes he does. Whoa. It's official. Takeshi Kaneshiro is one of the supreme eye candy pleasures dangermousie has so far discovered.

Sound gorgeous. Looks like I definitely have to track it down.

dangermousie April 24 2006, 19:26:22 UTC

Yea, it's beautiful. Visually, one of the most beautiful movies I've seen. I have no idea if you'll like the story, but it's worth seeing for the art direction/cinematography/Takeshi alone, regardless.

Because nothing says tragic thwarted passion like a circus.

But no, it has a Moulin Rouge quality though doesn't it. And a Takeshi Kaneshiro quality, which is all that matters.

tragic thwarted passion like a circus.

All the clowns laugh under their make-up :P Though Cecil B. DeMille's thwarted circus passion in "The Greatest Show on Earth" is pretty darn funny.

Oh and, Chaplin's "The Circus" is a pretty sad movie, ultimately. And I should stop with the circus movie references.

And a Takeshi Kaneshiro quality, which is all that matters

Believe it or not, this was 90% the reason I got it. The fact that the movie turned out excellent was a welcome, but unexpected surprise.

Hey, you see an elephant, I see the symbolism for passion chained and made to do demeaning tricks. Please don't ask what the man being shot out of a cannon symbolizes.

Believe it or not, this was 90% the reason I got it

He was 100% of the reason I got The Returner.

I think I can guess. :P

*shifty, guilty look* Me too.

*sigh* Takeshi *sigh*

Yes. Indeed.
