Retro movie to recommend
Today's a rainy Sunday, lazing around in the living room, channel surfing , and I happen to bump into this retro movie as it was starting. The title sounds interesting, it has Chow Yun Fatt and Cherie Chung and its from 1987, the golden years of HK movies..
The title is <<鬼新娘>>. Sounds really spooky right? I was also prepared for a spooky film. But, it turn out to be a sad, romantic comedy produced back in 1987.
This show is really a Chow Yun Fatt classic, the original Chow before he went to hollywood. The rubberfaced, funny, un-serious Chow Yun Fatt which I prefer over the replacement killer.
Anyway, the movie is a simple, yet touching love story between a pitiful female ghost and a playful street thug. The director managed to capture some emotions which make the show engrossing. The superb acting by Chow and Chung's pretty face simply makes this movie more enjoyable on a cool, lazy Sunday afternoon. I've attached a pic of the DVD cover. If you guys are bored, maybe you can try looking for this classic.
