    Ashes of Time (Redux)

    Wow! What an unusual ride! I caught this on Amazon Prime a couple days ago. Chinese title: 东邪西毒

     

    It\'s a 2008 remake of the original 1994 wuxia 武侠 film by Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai  王家卫。Has to do with sword fighting, love, loyalty, memory, passage of time, and so on. Deep stuff. Visually stunning with great acting and a nearly incomprehensible plot. I finally had to stop trying to watch it with a western analytic mind. Just let go and enjoy the colors and images. Beautiful musical score.

    in my opinion. When watching it, I get completely immersed in the characters

    ecognized the director and several of the actors. Looked it up and realized it was a classic. Many years since I saw the first iteration.

    I saw and loved the original. Watched it several times. Bit nervous to watch it again after all those years in case I now think it\'s rubbish
