----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My favorite film this year is the Act of Killing.
Not many Hong Kong people have watched it
as it was released in a film festival. The trailer can be watched below:
In 1965 and 1966, a million communists were killed in Indonesia.
The Act of Killing is a documentary in which former Indonesian death-squad leaders
make a movie about their real-life mass-killings.
These killers tell the horrible stories so lightly and proudly.
Still protected by the Indonesian government as national heroes,
they claim that war crimes are defined by winners.
Have they brainwashed themselves and suppressed their conscience?
How do they rationalize their act of killing?
Are they still unconsciously haunted by guilt?

As a movie maniac, never have I watched a documentary like this one.
The co-director, as well as over 20 other members of the film crew,
are credited as 'anonymous' because they still fear revenge.
Whenever I think about this film, the following adjectives flash across my mind:
unique, creative, surreal, jaw-dropping, nightmarish, disturbing, harrowing…
Reviews can be found below:
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_act_of_killing/
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_act_of_killing/reviews/#
Let’s look at what these two reviews say about the film.

Rob Thomas: By turning murder into performance,
The Act of Killing dramatizes the perverted hearts of these men,
the twisted mental leaps they needed to feel okay, and even proud, of what they've done.

Matthew Odam: The Act of Killing will mesmerize, confound and haunt you.
From the opening scenes you'll wonder if what you're watching is real.
And by the end you'll wish that it had all been a horrible fever dream.

The Act of Killing is a documentary which looks like
a psychodrama, a horror movie, a gangster film, a musical and a nightmare.
The ending is jaw-dropping and very disturbing.
Movie lovers, it is a must-see.

2013 is going to be over.
I have been a bit upset since, owing to my work,
I am unable to go blogging as often as I used to be.
After all, I have more responsibilities in my workplace and
there are some dreams I am in pursuit of.

In 2013, I have watched 93 movies in cinemas.
The movies released this year are MORE impressive than the 2012 ones.
Some documentaries are very surprising.

The films formally released in Hong Kong this year can be found below.

Do you have a top-10-movie list?
Are there any films that you highly recommend?
Let's share! I wish you all a Happy New Year!

  1. 2013 年上映的電影,確實比去年精彩多了。
    我今年去戲院看了 149 齣,明晚打算以【校緣心曲】作結。
    因為要看電影看到最後一分鐘,所以年結要明晚深夜才貼 :P

    1. Absolutely agree. You have watched Liberal Arts, right? So you'll watch it again tomorrow? Please lend me a DVD later. Thank you ^^!!!

      刪除
    2. Sure! I could only appreciate the beauty of the film when I watched it last night. A really nice one :)

      刪除
    3. It sometimes happens to me too, yet sometimes the film looks worse when I re-watch it. Perhaps it proves that people keep changing to a certain extent as time goes by.

    1. Both are very good films. The leading actress in Amour should have won an Oscar!

  9. Belated Merry Christmas and Happy new year!
    我又一次正式新居入伙了,新年新開始嘛!

    說回正題,今年我看的電影不多,但我覺得港鏟片而言,今年的確好出色!
    《激戰》無庸置疑好好,另外我覺得彭氏兄弟《逃出生天》都好好,不知你有否觀看?
    我覺得今年最好係動畫...《怪獸大學》《壞蛋獎門人》《魔雪奇緣》都好出色!

    1. Congratulations! I hope you like your new blog. I have not seen 逃出生天 because the reviews are not impressive. 激戰 is good, but comparatively speaking, I prefer 乾旦路 and 狂舞派. As for animations, I have not seen 怪獸大學. 壞蛋獎門人2 is disappointing because 1 is more heartwarming and meaningful. 魔雪奇緣 has good images and the songs are nice, but the story is cliched. This year, I only love 古魯家族 and 福音戰士新劇場版:Q.

  10. I only watched 65 this year, including 6 of your top10. Some of my fav ones are (not in order):

    一首搖滾上月球
    狂舞派
    Searching for Sugar Man
    Snowpiercer
    Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel
    Rush
    Gravity
    The Hunt
    乾旦路
    Django Unchained
    星級殺人犯 Confession of Murder
    重罪犯 Montage
    新世界 New World

    If you like Confession of Murder, I highly recommend Montage, which I think is ever better! For your interest New World is another high quality crime film. Both are Korean.

    1. Other non-main stream but interesting ones are Ping Pong and Life in a Day.

      刪除
    2. Cant agree more !! New World is another high quality crime film. I was shocked by the end of the movie but it seemed reasonable !!

      刪除
    3. THANKS a lot. I will pay attention to the following movies. I have not seen them yet.

      1. Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel
      2. Rush
      3. 重罪犯 Montage
      4. 新世界 New World
      5. Ping Pong

      Life in a Day is interesting, but I expect more insights.

  11. Kenji 新一年看更多好電影, 去更多不同地方旅遊. 你最愛的電影, 我只看了兩部, 反而你的心想推介, 我看了大部份. 當中最開心你的心水包括了 Any Day Now 及 The Heat . Any Day Now 睇到我好感動, 而The Heat 兩位師姐好爆笑, 但又是很少人提到.

    回覆刪除

    1. Thanks so much. You are right. Not many people mention The Heat but it is indeed a very good comedy and the director's previous work, Bridesmaids, is one of my favorite movies last year. Have you watched it? As for Any Day Now, the cast is great and the story is touching, though the singing at the end is a bit over-the-top.

      刪除
  12. “Some documentaries are very surprising” AGREE!! 以前好少睇documentary ,不過今年睇咗幾齣都好有意思! First Position 我前年HKIFF已經睇咗,係我嗰年電影節最喜歡嘅戲!

    1. Documentaries can be very touching, gripping and entertaining. It is a pity that most people think they are boring.

  14. it seems that you have so many dreams in your life!!

    回覆刪除
    回覆
    1. you mention above that "there are some dreams I am in pursuit of.", and before this, i know you had dreams that already came true, like being a teacher or things about movies, etc. You have new dreams that you are pursuing now, right?
      Maybe we all need dreams to keep us going till the end.

      刪除
    2. It is indeed difficult to achieve my dreams when I am extremely busy with my work. It seems unlikely for me to achieve bigger dreams in the future, but I'll keep trying. ^^

      刪除
  15. 許多也未看過, 有機會看看你的推介電影!!

  17. Kenji,來和你拜個年。祝新一年工作順利,戲運亨通,萬事如意!!

    1. THANKS so much for your visit. I also wish you a prosperous year of the Horse.

      I have been a bit lost these days. I would like to go blogging as often as I used to last year, but it seems that I lack ideas and I am tired because of my work. Anyway, I will definitely write about my Oscar predictions later.

      Saving Mr. Bank deeply touches me too. Did you notice the real white horse (in her childhood) and the fake white horse in the theme park (in her adulthood)? Did you notice the symbolic meaning of Mickey Mouse first ignored, then hugged and finally escorting her to the theatre where she has to undergo the process of catharsis? Her character is well developed and I feel for her.

      As for 春去春又來, it is one of my top 100 films. The symbols are here and there. The film is like a poem. Superb!

      How about the Oscar films and the Europe Film Festival? Have you made plans?

      刪除
    2. 這幾個月父母回港小住,我少了看戲,不過有些戲則會帶他們同看,先後看了《掃毒》、《發夢王大歷險》和《大夢想家》。明天會看August: Osage country (我沒有做research,已不理會這套戲是否適合和他們看了,不過母親講明不看「有粗口和祼女」的《華爾街狼人》:P)

      Emma Thompson不獲奧斯卡提名最佳女主角,我很失望呢。我沒有想過馬和Mickey Mouse在最後那場的意思,多謝講解啊!米奇老鼠那段很sweet!

      歐洲電影節我只買了一套--The Wall (@bc),其他的我打算隨緣(不過有些已滿座,隨不了緣:P)。

      刪除
    3. What a coincidence! I will watch the Wall at BC too. See you then.

      刪除
    4. Yeah~ see you there!!
      Just watched the trailer of The Act of Killing, it's very disturbing, but I wanna watch it~

    5. Watch it. You may try to borrow a DVD from Pauline. ^^

      LFLS is a great movie. I love several films from the director.

  21. 近來很忙嗎,怎麼都不見你更新...
    奥斯卡快要揭盅了,作為電影迷有什麼心水嗎?
    我希望今年可以看完所有提名奥斯卡的電影,尤其是《Blue Jasmine》,Cate Blanchett是影后大熱呡,名媛人財兩失的故事,我還頗期待的,之前錯過了,幸好好像會重映。
    真的沒有想過《Gravity》會有這麼多提名,還是大熱,我還以為只是商業爆谷片。
    《American Hustle》我也想看,但好像口碑平平。

    1. Thank you for your visit, Julian. English teachers are often busy hahaha. What a coincidence! I have just finished watching MOST nominated films. I am going to talk about the Oscars in my new post.

      Blue Jasmine is one of my favorite movies, but it seems that some people find it boring. Please let me know how you feel after watching it. The script is superb in my opinion. I do love Gravity. Have you watched it? American Hustle is really so so in my opinion.
