Spider Lilies

[SONG] Mario - This is for

Just finished watching a movie called 'Spider Lilies'

It's a Taiwanese production, but i happened to have it in Cantonese.

This is a great film. I find the way it was directed and scripted quite unique. The way they portray tattoos in this movie, really bring a new insight on body art to my perception. Though the subjects are about homosexuality, the way they put the 2 actresses together, was just great.

There was a lot of controversy about this film when it came out. I guess it's the mindset behind the typical asians. However, many people disliked the film, not because of the content, but because of the story. I beg to differ. If you look at the movie at a more artistic point of view and some strong beliefs, then i am quite positive that everyone will enjoy this movie.

I was more shocked to see Isabella Leung in this movie. She's one of my favorite actresses from the HK movie industry. i would say she added a bit of spice to my interest when i watched the movie. Not forgetting the obviously cute Rainie Yang, which is one of my favorites in the Taiwan Industry as well.

You may think that my opinions to this movie is a bit biased because 2 of my favorites are starring in it. In this instance, i'll leave you with this...Just watch it if you don't believe me, nuff said!

here is a movie syn ops...

Lycoris aurea: The golden flower is native to the northeastern coast of Taiwan. Local people call it the spider lily. Japanese legend has it that spider lilies line the path to hell, poisoning the memories of all who smell their scent, forming a bridge between the living and the dead.

Tattoo artist Takeko keeps a framed design of the spider lily flower on the wall of her parlor. The design was literally cut from the flesh of her father, after he was crushed to death in an earthquake. The image of the spider lily tattoo is the last cohesive memory of Takeko's traumatized brother, Ching, who is no longer able to recognize anyone, including his sister. Takeko has the same tattoo of the poisonous flower on her body in the hope of helping Ching remember and bridging the gap between them.

Webcam girl Jade visits Takeko's tattoo parlor, looking for sexy decoration to excite her clientele. Entranced by the tattoo of the spider lily on the wall, Jade gives Takeko her business card and invites her to visit her on her website where she professes her love for the tattoo artist. Finally, Jade asks Takeko to give her the same spider lily tattoo to bring her closer to the object of her desire.
