finally watched Initial D!
on the scale of 5 thumbs up, i think this film at least deserves 3 and a half thumbs up!
it’s hard to deny that the actors are all cool - after all, they are Shawn Yue, Edison Chen and Jay Chou… to be frank, i think the drama skills of the actors (expect Anthony Wong, Kenny Bee and Chapman To) still need a lot of polishing… however, it’s true that jay rules in playing as takumi fujuwara.
on a whole i think the directors (Andrew Lau and Alan Mak) have done a great job. i am quite surprised that i didn’t get bore. afterall, this kind of movie is not what i used to like and car racing isn’t really my cup of tea. but still, i didn’t fall asleep or anything in the past two hours! by the way, i am moved by the love relationship share between takumi fujuwara and natsuki mogi - it has been touched lightly but had made a great impression.
looking forward to War of the Worlds on Saturday!
