War Movie: Jason Statham & Jet Li
Any movie with Jason Statham and Jet Li facing off as adversaries must be worth watching. War, a movie about “FBI agent Jack Crawford (Jason Statham) who becomes obsessed with revenge after his partner Tom Wynne (Terry Chen) and family are killed apparently by the infamous and elusive assassin Rogue (Jet Li). His world unravels into a vortex of guilt and betrayal.”
It also stars Steph Song who has a change of adding a bit of romance to an otherwise formulaic (BUT OMG JET LI) action movie.
Rinko Kikuchi cut from Babel in China
The strangest, most fascinating, complicated part of the recent movie Babel was Rinko Kikuchi’s scenes, where she portrayed a mentally distraught deaf-mute obsessed with finding someone in the world to love her. However, since her part involved occasional nudity, they cut a good five minutes from Alejandro González Iñárritu’s movie:
This reporter observed that apart from cutting out all of the scenes where Rinko Kikuchi’s character is naked, the film also cut a scene at the beginning showing a Morrocan kid masturbating, and one in which Gael García Bernal tears the head off a chicken. After watching the film, this reporter felt that the excised content basically had no effect on a normal viewing experience.
Of course, the reporter is simply reporting on national interests in China, and being Chinese of course is happy to have a Japanese woman’s body dropped from the movie.
If you’ve seen the movie I’m sure you will agree that the scenes where she throws herself towards an older man, tortured by her life without sound or speech to find some other intimate sensation, tangled in the investigators of her mother’s murder are the most passionately moving.
