THE MERMAID DVD REVIEW...
09:12:00
Good Morning Lovelies,
Out today for the first time on Blu-ray Steelbook,
exclusively in HMV, the film I have to review for you today is a living legend
in the country in which it was made.
The biggest grossing film of all-time in China, The Mermaid,
is the story of a rich tycoon who decides to buy a large piece of land and
homes. Upon buying the property he finds that he has brought the place where
the last surviving mermaids live.
Directed by Stephen Chow, the comedic film has a certain
charm and beauty to it, but it misses the beauty that other films have given
theirs. Chow has made a film that makes complete sense at moments but moves on
and becomes a complicated story.
Viewers should not go into the film thinking that the story
is like Disney’s animation The Little Mermaid. It is in a class of its own.
It has a story that is relevant to not only the times it was
made but now, even though it is meant to be lighter than it is.
With mermaids being huge at the moment the film is sure to
be a success around the world as it is released. However I am giving it…
