Hu die (Butterfly) (2004)

do not have internet in the hotel this week which sucks... drove last night and parked in front of many of the places around that offer wireless internet, but all of them were at least $9.95 per day... so i guess i'll wait till they fix the one at my hotel probably tonight.

last weekend was not bad, got to do my fourth consecutive saturday wushu practice which wasn't so bad, the injury on my inner thigh showed up of course in the middle of the jumps not allowing me to do many things after that, but i did go thru some form sections just to start getting the feeling of the new eagle form i just learned and some broadsword.

last weekend i watched a HK movie called [size=5]butterfly [/size](cantonese - Wu Die). it's an interesting independent movie about lesbian/human relationships/feelings mainly. i thought it was too long and too slow, and that the end presented just the ending we all thought that was going to happen.

we have a school teacher played by actress josie ho, i dunno anything about her but she looks very caucasian to me, wasn't she in purple storm too?. in the movie, she is is happily married and has a kid now, but had some lesbian background.

then we have another actress called tian yuan, who plays a school student and a singer and she is the one that awakes the teacher lesbian desires that were kept closeted. this girl was cuter and was a lot "hornier" (is there such a word? ;) u know, more horny :D)

the interesting thing of the movie is all these flashbacks that happen between a previous lesbian relationship that the teacher had when she was young and the current one that is starting to happen now, when the feelings get more intimate, the camera switches to what looks like a handheld super-8 of the 70's...

the poor husband dude, is in between them in the current relationship, just as the parents were in the previous one. there are some parallel situations happening, but as i said is loooooooooong and slooooooow... josie ho talks in cantonese while tian yuan only uses mandarin, but they understand each other pretty well ;)

if u were to ask, in terms of explicit scenes, no... no strong material is exposed... very light... nothing when u compare to movies like [size=5]happy together [/size]with Leslie Cheung and Tony Leung (now, those were graphic! and were men! ;))

i guess the message of the movie is that the pure sex desire of having a fresh peach in front of u is present and strong, no matter if u are heterosexual or gay, male or female, happily married or whatever, is just there... and the cool quote (just as WiseKwai likes to write) was "never been with a women in her 30's that is so shy"... ouh... ;)
