Wow! Such a good movie.
Just perfect...
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Hong Kong itself is the 3rd character in this moving and intimate story, as it gives the rich foundation and backdrop for these two characters to ignite and fall in love with one another. Believable and authentically portrayed.I don't understand the strong negative reviews, particularly those that seem to be scoring it against a criteria not relevant to this film. I make no comparison or judgment against other films in scoring this, but simply on merit and based on what I experience of this film... which is a great appreciation for the work, feeling, and authenticity that all involved in this film must have given to produce such a personable film.
After stumble on the movie on my flight. I want to share this with my brother. As soon as I got of the plane I rang him all told him about this great film that got my attention for 78minute with basically two actors. Very clever and romantic script. My brother manage to find Emily ting contact. And buy the film for Thailand screening. Today I watched it again. I feel this should become classic film. I hope follow his heart and he didn't get the extra taxi stop.
In 1995 Richard Linklater released Before Sunrise, a romantic film about two young people who meet abruptly in Europe and over the course of an evening fall in love as they walk and talk. The magic of the film is in its very simplicity, bare as it is of special effects or overly dramatic plotting. It's spurred a generation of imitators that all keep trying to capture the magic and the chemistry of that movie and unfortunately most can't survive the comparison to that wonderful film. Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong is a movie made in the wake of Before Sunrise. Though the details of the people and the setting are different this is ultimately a walking and talking and falling in love movie. Ruby (Jamie Chung) is an American of Chinese descent who is planning to meet her friends for a drink but who can't locate the bar on her gps-less phone. Overhearing her dilemma, Josh (Bryan Greenberg), a white American expat, offers to walk her to her location. Over the course of their walk a connection sparks between them though when they arrive at their location Josh reveals something which sends Ruby into a rage and the two part on bad terms, only to be reunited completely by accident a year later when they meet on a ferry. Movies like this always rest on the strength of the characters and the chemistry of the actors and sadly both are really lacking here. Ruby, and Josh in particular, are not that interesting. Also, despite that the fact that the actors were engaged at the time of filming, they bizarrely lack chemistry. Ruby seems (rightly) defensive and sharp tongued a lot of the time, which makes sense since Josh is a complete stranger and she's in a foreign country, but on the flip side it's confusing why Josh would keep making pains to try to get to know her when, at least initially, she isn't interesting. Emily Ting shows promise as a director, but I can't help wishing she had chosen a more original plot that wouldn't suffer comparisons to a movie that has been so lauded and is held so dear for so many.
I happened across this movie on Netflix. One of my favorites, "Lost In Translation" immediately came to mind. The test for me in embracing a film is whether I care about the characters. This film made it easy. Jamie Chung is mesmerizingly fetching. Yes, sassy, but her character played with an honesty. She eats up every scene. She's every guys dream date. Smart acerbic clever funny and a stunner. Any of us that have experienced the dopamine rush of meeting that special someone can appreciate the obvious infatuation shared by these characters. Watching Ruby and seeing her obvious hopeful desire to be with Everyman Josh gives shlubs like us a brief moment of joy. The film is beautifully shot, and the dialogue playful. This storyline that demands a sequel! I don't know what you want in a movie, but for me, I got the same resonant subtle melancholy joy that I felt after Annie Hall, Lost in Translation, and as far back as the Sound Of Music. Josh Greenburg is one lucky guy. We are lucky that Emily Ting made this film.
