OTOH, have given up on Tsai Ming Liang's movies after having seen three of them. <br /><br />But yeah, definitely would not mind seeing more movies like "Monga" coming out of Taiwan. Really enjoyed that work. :)YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788280764985772675.post-65744549851009671502011-04-23T19:10:52.713-07:002011-04-23T19:10:52.713-07:00hahaha Touche, YTSL! =D
I am only speaking about ...hahaha Touche, YTSL! =D<br /><br />I am only speaking about 'genre' films, here. Those directors you have mentioned AND their films were more arthouse. That being said, their films definitley deserve their due.<br /><br />I happen to enjoy their films less than the action/fantasy films provided by Taiwan during this era. <br /><br />I also feel that the Taiwanese industry kinda fizzled with their genre filmmaking as the New Wave was ascending. The movie system seemed to befall the same fate as HK's around the same time. The only films that have appeared to make it out alive were the arthouse ones.<br /><br />I hope more genre oriented pics make a resurgence. While 'you can never go home again,' I really enjoyed seeing more genre-oriented films from Taiwan like Zoom Hunting,Invitation Only, and Monga.<br /><br />I sure hope movies in this vein make a modest return so we aren't ONLY stuck with Hou Hsiao Hsien films. =DKingwho?https://www.blogger.com/profile/02474560455739504154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788280764985772675.post-17854568333146435102011-04-23T19:01:02.178-07:002011-04-23T19:01:02.178-07:00"action was the flavor of the day with Taiwan..."action was the flavor of the day with Taiwanese films from this era."<br /><br />...er, wasn't this (also) the era of the Taiwanese New Wave with great non-action films being made by the likes of Hou Hsiao Hsien, Edward Yang, Ang Lee and others? ;bYTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.com
