Yeh i love the whole vibe the movie has, defo one for wkw fans. Great use of locations and clothing.

The movie is part of a sort of trilogy of films, the other two are 'the longest summer' and 'little cheung'.

Highly rec little cheung, has the same restlessness that made in hong kong has yet its centred around very different characters.

i totally failed at doing this, sorry guys, didnt have internet other than my iphone for a long time, i can jump in sometime, thinking about upload A SERBIAN FILM if you guys are interested.... word of warning though, its highly disturbing, really truly fucked up shit.

[Pablo Johnson]

I can handle disturbing and fucked up, What else is there?? haha

Just watched Made in Hong Kong.

Thoroughly enjoyed it, though some parts were hard to get through. Made me grateful for what I have: education, health, and friends/family. Glad I saw this, it was sobering movie.

[jackg]

anyone else had a chance, been crazzy busy so i haven't been able to watch anything recently.

[scamster]

haven't had a chance either and want to watch 'made in hong kong' but also been stupidly busy.

[akuma no uta]

i can upload a serbian film if someone pm's me directions on how to do it. also, it is a movie thats banned in several countries, so please check to see if its legal where you live, i dont want anyone getting in trouble over a movie.

[jackg]

sorry been crazy busy of late. akuma there is an upload order on page 8 and I can put you down the bottom of that and you can upload anything you like! even a serbian film if you wish, but I think one viewing of that was more than enough for me.

in the meantime what did you guys think of "trouble everyday"?

[bfan]

I really liked made in hong kong, kinda dug how low budget everything was. definitely agree about the wong kar wai vibes, mainly I think it's because the focus is on life in a large asian city and the subsequent lifestyle created by that environment. main character had some steezy fits too

[jackg]

next up....

[jackg]

[Tobi]

movie up! get around it.

[digitalmountain]

I always thought it was interesting how the premise of the film reflects differently on past and current attitudes on determinism and freedom.

In the more liberal 70ies, it might have been provocative to depict society's efforts of re-socialzation as an act of violence, and following one's innate, evil nature as an act of freedom. Nowadays, the notion that individuals are mostly determined by their DNA is widely accepted; and (because it is possible) this pre-determining code has to be analyzed, altered and engineered, thus rendering Kubrick's provocative depiction of Alex as "all nature, no nurture" if not irrelevant, then at least outdated. By following his violent impulses, his protagonist is no longer resisting social pressure to conform and asserting his individuality, today he would simply be a product of his genetic predispositions and programming.
