03.10.08 A Touching Movie ---- " Painted Skin"

Went for a date with my friend-- The one who used to be very close (you can't even imagine how close we are) but we didn't have much contact now because of having a VERY BUSY life (both of us)..!!!

She is now having a Uni life at USM (nibong tebal). She came back for Raya hols and her birthday falls in this hols coincidentally. That's why I asked her out on 1st of oct but she refused so delayed to friday. Actually feel very sorry to her because I am not actually celebrate with her on friday.

Well, we went to Queensbay Mall for movie. Decided in last minute. That's why I got no time to book anymore. So I asked my friend who is working there to help me to purchase 2 tickets of "Painted Skin" .

We reached there ON TIME. The movie started at 7.30pm and ended at 9.15pm. It's a very touching movie. This is the first time in China that a film based on a supernatural theme with ghostly elements that has been approved by SARFT for production. "Painted Skin" assembles a tremendous cast from superstar Donnie Yen (Flash Point, Dragon Tiger Gate) to Asia stars; Zhou Xun (Perhaps Love, The Banquet), Zhao Wei (So Close) and rising China’s actor Chen Kun. Should go for it because of the tremendous cast especially Zhou Xun & Zhao Wei-- 2 beauties ..Here I attach the synopsis.


Painted Skin, one of the of the spookiest and chilling ghost stories from the famous supernatural-themed short stories collection Strange Tales of Liaozhai by Pu Songling (1640-1715), a renowned writer of the Qing Dynasty. It is a series of captivating and colorful stories where the boundary between reality and the odd or fantastic is blurred. The cast of characters include vixen spirits, ghosts, scholars, court officials, Taoist exorcists and beasts. Moral purposes are often inverted between humans and the supposedly degenerate ghosts or spirits, resulting in a satirical edge to some of the stories. “Painted Skin” is an action-thriller centered on a vampire-like woman who eats the skins and hearts of her lovers. It is a story that brings audiences into the world of wild imagination about spirits and ghosts, but also explore the realities of human nature and morality at the same time.
