Yellow fever
I finished Hero, China's nomination for best foreign film at this year's Oscars. Although the movie's pretty fresh in my mind, I'm not sure exactly what I think about the film. What I *do* know about the film is that I'm in love with the beautiful Maggie Cheung. All throughout the film, I couldn'st stop looking at her eyes. God, they're so deep, yet at the same time, so soft and tender. I could watch them forever.

Considering my almost constant input of foreign film, I'm surprised that I haven't noticed Maggie Cheung before. She was, after all, in the first movie that introduced me to Hong Kong cinema, Heroic Trio. I guess it's because I was enjoying the creamy legs of Anita Mui. Reguardless, I think that it was the cinematography of Christopher Doyle that made her look like the sun that she is. From all reports, she looks ten times better in Wong Kar Wai's In The Mood For Love I guess now I'll have to bite the bullet and see and get my fix. My God, her eyes!
