Words
“The first time I saw The Hurt Locker, I had forgotten who the director was. As the film unfolded I kept saying to myself, “Wow, whoever directed this really has a unique intellect and highly focused directorial vision.” I knew that this film was different, that it had a depth not usually seen in a film set during wartime — but I didn’t know exactly how or why I was experiencing this reaction. When the end credits rolled, my “aha!” moment arrived. “So it’s a woman!” I thought, “It all makes sense to me now.”
Yet, I believe that Bigelow won the DGA — and quite possibly will win the Oscar — not because she’s female but because she did excellent work. Some voters may choose her to make some kind of political or feminist statement, but Bigelow’s name wouldn’t be on that ballot unless she deserved to be there.
Some claim that the dearth of awards recognition for female directors is because there are so few good female directors. To me, a statement like that ignores the fact that bias has prevented more women from getting good material to direct.”

10 Responses for "New Red Cliff Trailer"
Love it. For some more masterly shots, here’s the trailer we posted in September.
This is free on XBL right now btw…
I remember noting awhile ago:
3 Oscar-nominated Asian directors (Lee, Teshigahara, Kurosawa), 3 Oscar-nominated women (Campion, Coppola, Wertmuller)
3 Asian hit directors (Woo, Lee, Miyazaki), 3 female hit directors (Meyers, Marshall, Ephron, though arguably none of their hit eras overlap). I think worldwide.
Only overlap is Ang Lee. Is there a single up-and-coming Asian filmmaker who could be the 4th nominated? It seems almost certain there’ll be a 4th woman this year, as well as others who have buzz that could translate to noms down the road.
“Is there a single up-and-coming Asian filmmaker who could be the 4th nominated?”
Johnnie To
Takashi Miike
Joon-ho Bong
Takeshi Kitano
Chan-wook Park
?
first names that come to mind.
Kar Wai Wong is due. Overdue.
Red Cliff looks fantastic.

Dont forget Zhang Yimou.
back to Redclif, I heard that this film would be release in one, combine the original two parts, so how long is gonna be the running time? Since each part have more than two hours, I am very interested in how would change….
I’ve seen this, the shorter, combined version that is already out on DVD in much of Europe and frankly, this film isn’t worth getting your hopes up for. It’s certainly not a terrible movie, it’s worth seeing if this type of film is up your alley but no one’s going to remember this as one of the better films of its kind.
I hated this film (Watched on Rio’s International Film Festival). Left the theaters by the end of the movie when I wanted to scream at the screen how bad the movie sucked.
I’m not a big John Woo fan but I have a great amount of respect for both Tony Leung and Takeshi Kaneshiro, but this movie is full of clichés in the worst possible way.
Get the chills just remebering I spent 7 bucks on that crap. After that I gave the movie a “one star” on imdb. My personal revange.
Sorry, Rafaela, but I had the opposite reaction. I saw the full length 4 hour plus version and liked it a lot. It’s his best film since FACE/OFF, I thought. And I haven’t always liked his war movies (I’m one of the few who thought BULLET IN THE HEAD was overrated, for example).
Chatan, I think the shorter version runs about two and a half hours.

Johnnie To is my favourite now.
