But Zhang Yimou's hard-on for wide brightly-coloured vistas and such is due to his bigger than life myths\stories while The Fall is just cause of that annoying-child's imagination (yes, annoying
).
And I can't get past such tiresome and clichéd reason which made all the prettiness unnecessary to me. Or maybe it's cause I much prefer Gondry's, Park Chan-Wook's or early Greenaway's mise-en-scène *nerdy emoticon*.
Speaking of Z.Yimou and arrows and chinese warriors and whatnot: the other day I was watching The Myth with a friend and there was a scene that reminded me a bit of his style, only raw and way bloodier -- with Jackie Chan!
Have you seen it? It's so f-ing badass! here -
