@Blurry Moon @nprofile1q... So the real solution is to study in Norway, which still offers free uni for non-EU foreigners. 😁

@Blurry Moon Aren't there still community colleges worth attending?

@nprofile1q... I like this solution.

@nprofile1q... Saw it for the first time recently. This guy could become huge. 😃

If you think a movie can be sweet when it also contains references to horrific child abuse and has people being literally smashed to pieces, then The Furious is a sweet and cute movie.

It's really about a parent overcoming their inability to see what's really important, distracted by self-perceived failure, and a child's unconditional love and unrelenting strength, while just wanting to be held.

Together, they fight crime. 😁

It's also about authority figures standing up to corrupt authority figures to do what's right.

There was the potential there for a very good movie behind the very good fight scenes.

The obvious movie to compare with is the 2024 roaring success "Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In".

TotW:WI has the advantage that it's based on novels and comic books and has a much better written story and dialogue, but when it comes to the fighting, it's less integrated into the story. It's like pressing a pause button on the plot and here's where we do the fighting. This is especially apparent at the end of the movie where it's like, ok, we've done enough story, let's just have another half hour of fighting and then we can wrap it up.

The fighting in TotW:WI was spectacular, but TF has the edge in moving the plot forward. I hope the next huge HK movie brings all of this together and combines the movie qualities of TotW:WI with the choreography and narrative integration of TF.

Louis Koo knows how to do this. Everything his money touches becomes a blockbuster in HK. I hope he sees a way to pick this up.
