the start of this movie give me hope i be on to something ok. there be some artistry in it and and the opening twist be promise . ( but why do the bloody graffiti and i. e. come and see and have to be write in such phony and perfect handwriting . ) that be all lose in an instant when ziyi zhang character suddenly reveal herself for what she be in the process suddenly go from normal middle class immigrant girl to ludicrous and evil and wry and hissing and ( awkwardly ) seductive and bloken engrish oriental villainess . cringe . i felt embarrass on behalf of her and the producer . i should have do what i want to do and go straight to bed . but ( deadbeat ) curiosity get the good of me . however and i find everything else go downhill and too . particularly repulsive ( and it take a lot in a movie to actively repulse me ) be the virtual rubber stamp this movie give to homophobia . one of the horseman a a gay character with a big brother so redneck and devoid of familial feeling that it almost go beyond belief and and who the gay character end up disembowel himself in front of because of his brother rejection . that play on so many nasty old preconception and myth and and prejudice about homosexuality ( homosexual be never happy and they bring it on themselves and real men can never feel comfortable with gay men etc . etc . ) that it hard to believe this movie be make in the 21st century . and a for the revelation ( excuse the pun ) at the end about who the fourth horseman be puh leeze and give me some credit . saw it come from way back . predictable and poorly act and out of touch pantomime .
