This list is more interesting than the first. TEN HORRIBLE MOVIES I WOULD NOT HAVE SEEN WITHOUT BEING BROWBEATEN BY THIS DREADFUL ELITIST BOOK INTIMIDATING ME TEN GREAT MOVIES I TOTALLY LOVED AND WOULD NOT HAVE SEEN WITHOUT THIS BOOK TELLING ME I SHOULD Anyhow, could anyone really like all 1001? Also, should you want to be a 1001 completist, some of them are impossible to find, like Gun Crazy (1950), Butterfield 8 (1960) and The Decline of the American Empire (1986) for reasons too boring to contemplate probably. This beautifully displayed and really heavy don’t drop it on your foot or it’ll be the A&E for you list whizzes from the dawn of film to a few years ago and all across the globe taking corners so fast you might get carsick. I’ve seen 492 of the 1001 movies listed, and lemme tell ya, it will take strong inducements like the kidnap of a close family member to make me see some of the rest of them, for instance Ben Hur (1959), Peking Opera Blues (1986), or Braveheart (1995). And so is Steven jay Schneider! We are the worms!ĭon’t know why I did not review this before, I have been using it for years.
Yeah, your favourite movie may well not be in here but you know what? You're just one insignificant worm and your opinions don't count. The film also has a serious underlying theme about the Chinese political landscape in fact, the film was released just three years before the momentous events in Tiananmen Square in China.If you only ever saw movies from this 1001 list you’d be missing a whole ton of fun and you’d have to be really quite insane but still you’d have a pretty great time.
Anticipating such gender-bending films as FAREWELL MY CONCUBINE and SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE, PEKING OPERA BLUES is rich in slapstick humor and dazzling kung fu stunts. Plots and counterplots interweave in this fast-paced dramedy that features a woman playing a man playing a woman. Sheung Heung (Cherie Chung) is an avaricious musician who just wants to steal a box of jewelry, while Pat Neil (Sally Yeh) is an aspiring actress who dreams of performing in the all-male Peking Opera of her father. Tsao Wan (Brigitte Lin) wants political change, in defiance of her father, a powerful general. In PEKING OPERA BLUES, he portrays the ambitions of three different women in late nineteenth century China. After SHANGHAI BLUES, director Tsui Hark has said that he became interested in using women as the central characters in his film.
