So that's to say,you love this video?

Yes I like the video, because it´s representative of the song. I would have liked more flying scenes though: I am a sucker for those

I wanna Chris just walking and walking and walking from the very beginning to the end.

I didn't even want to watch the video, but I did (mute of course) just because of this comparison with House of the Flying Daggers.

I love all Zhang Yimou's movies I've seen, he's well known and got a great respect especially here in Venice where he won two golden lions. I just saw Raise the Red Lantern not too much time ago and it's a fantastic movie.
His vision of art is aesthetically beautiful, aching, awe-inspiring, it's innocence and toughness together..this video is just bad, it's like when hollywood remake movies nowadays, they become crap, they're taken away all the meaning and art the originals have, they become standardized. Comparing the main female characters (slutty Rihanna and Zhang Ziyi) just makes me shiver

Ok, sorry for the rant, just wanted to state my opinion about it, I just think some things shouldn't be emulated if you risk to make it look cheap and laughable.
I won't bother watching it again as I don't listen to the song, not a big deal

I think POC is a good song but suck video.Chris's voice sounds great in the beginning.But then Rihanna appears...

As about Zhang Yimou,the lastest movie he directed was The Flowers Of War.I watched it but I can't tell more about my thoughts because this movie tells about a period dark time of China.But there is another movie "Under the Hawthorn Tree".I think highly of it.I cried everytime I saw the ending of that movie.It's really impressive.

Denise · 03-06-2012, 11:37 AM

I wish it were easier to find his movies here, as I said in the other post all his movies I've seen are just beautiful and really strike a chord with me, they're what I call Art with an A. Also I really love how he always gives great importance to such innocent but at the same time strong women (or just girls, like in Not one less).

But I'm OT now

Ah, yes...I forgot about that one, that's the one with Jet Li, right?
I really should dig those movies out and watch them again

Yes,Jet Li is in it.
I never thought Zhang Yimou is well known overseas

Now I know how wide his influence is.
