CJ7 长江7号

Let talk about movie today. Having seen all the Lunar New Year movie premieres for this month. I think most of you familiar with this "CJ7" movie title. Yeah, it is Stephen Chow's new movie CJ7.

It's been a long and almost 2 year wait for the coming of Stephen Chow's new movie after his success in KUNG FU HUSTLE and SHAOLIN SOCCER.

Well, i heard some negative comments about the movie. This film is tend to infuriate many due to the fact that it's not a normal Stephen Chow's film. Of course lah, CJ7 could be an disappointment experience for those expecting it to be as outrageous as Shaolin Soccer or Kung Fu Hustle.

Why? Because this time, he didn't really try to up the comedy type he had set on like his past film previously. Hey, this is NOT a comedy film where Stephen Chow battling aliens with martial arts to save the world. LOL

The film is really a quiet father-son drama that happened to have a cute little alien in it. This time though, he had totally taken the backseat and gave the spotlight to the child actress. It's really not funny enough to be a laugh-out-loud comedy, but more a drama with many moments of wry humour.

Talking through CJ7, I had initially thought that it was amongst his weaker works, but then came the final act, which while it was emotionally manipulative. Yes, I cannot deny it when i know many of my female friend told me that they laughed and cried at the same time.

There's really not much I can say about this film, yes, it's rather funny, and may touching. But the side characters are memorable!! Yeah, the judo fat boy, the huge girl, the nose-picking disciplinarian, the loud-mouthed but soft hearted boss. I love the scene where the judo boy and huge girl in battle!!


I believe many girls will like the alien dog in Chow's movie, which i think is cute enough for them.




Oh ya, since the actual protagonist of the film is Stephen Chow' s son. You know, the child actress was a little girl that was casted to play a boy. Here is her actual pic.


One of the dialogue from the movie will be used quite often by Stephen Chow:

"我们虽然穷，但是不能说谎、也不能打人，不是我们的东西，我们不能拿，要好好读书，长大要做个对社会有用的人"

Meaning - "Although we are poor, but we cant tell lies, we cant beat people, the things that do not belong to us, we cant take, we must study well, grow up and become a useful person"

This is meaningful, which can use to say the same to your son or daughter soon. LOL

Here also the quote which i picked to joke with my colleague, and it work!! She laughed...

Stepten Chow : There is something wrong with my body
Miss Yuen : What is it?
Stepten Chow : I am far too handsome.

For those who still not yet watching CJ7, can start looking for the movie now. ^^
