Echoes of the Rainbow 歲月神偷

Echoes of the Rainbow 歲月神偷

is a must watch movie ... it stars Simon Yam, Sandra Ng, Aarif Lee and the little boy i dunno whats his name.
this movie is very touching, tells the story of the little boy's family....
his father makes shoes and his mother helps him...
he has a brother who is an excellent student both in academic and athletics...
he admires his brother wishing to be like him someday....

the story tells us on the typical society of Hong Kong whereby everyone is most likely to be very materialistic.
the love of a parent for their children is so great that they will sacrifice everything for them.
a very dramatic family based movie that portrays Hong Kongs lifestyle during the past...

i heard the story was based on a true story...
and they manage to grab a few awards for best newcomer, best male lead and best director if not mistaken.

the theme song:


this song performed by Aarif Lee is splendid... adding the whole essence of nostalgia in the film

and this is the trailer:


love the whole ambiance the settings ...
the color, art direction, the shots and of course the acting.....
i enjoyed it a lot
hope every one did ....recommended indeed

hahahaha anyways the exam turn out to be ok ...
ok this post is all about X-men not advertising hahaha

ok here goes....(WARNING !! spoiler alert !!!)
the resolves on James Howlett a.k.a Logan a.k.a Wolverine.....
the movie completely talks about Wolverine so the title is really true .....
what u read is what you get....
all other characters are just extra to make the movie rather interesting only....



Wolverine is Starred by the original Wolverine Hugh Jackman

Sabretooth is acted by actor Liev Schreiber
(Sabretooth has the healing powers and sharp claws same as wolverine but he has the mind of an animal which resulted to his mindless killing spree) they both fled the place and grew up together side by side as what brothers do...
fighting the world war together until Sabretooth lost site of what he should do and turned into a blood- thirsty killing machine...
they were offered a chance for redemption by Colonel William Stryker...



William Stryker is played by Danny Huston
(Stryker is also the creators of all the sentinels in capturing all the mutants for government in the comics)
the both were put in a team with several other mutants such as Deadpool/Wade Wilson, John Wraith, Agent Zero/David North, Barnell Bohusk/Beak and The Blob Frederick J Dukes to made up Team X...
soon later Stryker and Team X went to Lagos, Nigeria on a mission to find a fallen sacred meteoroid to make the strongest steel which will later play a very big role in the whole entire life of Wolverine which is the adamantium...
but during the mission Wolverine found he didn't like the way they work things and chose to leave the team, leaving brother Sabretooth behind....
he later settles down in the prairie of Canada doing lumberjack with his love Kayla Silverfox...



Lynn Collins acted in the of Kayla Silverfox
(Silverfox is supposedly a member of Team X with the ability of healing but the movie has change it to the ability to temper people's mind)
Sabretooth then ventures around killing members of Team X one after another...
killing 1st Wade follow by Beak then ...Wolverine
in some confusion Silverfox was killed by Sabretooth and that has made Wolverine furious and sworned to avenge the death of his beloved girlfriend ...

Stryker came back offering him a chance to get stronger to defeat Sabretooth...
with that anger he agreed with adamantium bonding experiment making him...
Weapon X..... but knowing that he is just an experiment for more other killing machine...
he break free from the facilities ....

Wolverine was later hunted down by Agent Zero in order to take him back to the facilties.....
but Wolverine was able to stop him for good in a brawl...



Korean Heart-throb Daniel Henney takes the role of David North a.k.a Agent Zero
(Agent Zero is a maverick with the ability to absorb kinetic energy from impact wihout injury but he has to let it out through a type enzyme through his finger tips which explains his splendid gun performance)
Wolverine then later found out from Agent Zero about an island of capture mutants ....
he went on a mission to seek revenge knowing that Sabretooth is affialated with Stryker...
in order to get there he seeks Gambits help for the island's coordinates....



Gambit a.k.a Remy LeBeau is starred by Taylor Kitsch
(this cajun Gambit is Rouge's love of her life that has the ability to charge objects up and blow them to kingdom come)
Wolverine later reach the island to find out that Silverfox is still alive...
to make things worse is she is one of Stryker's people ....
felt like a fool Wolverine was enrage and fought with Sabretooth...
in the duel, when Wolverine was about to kill Sabretooth he was stopped by Silverfox....
learning the truth that what she felt was real and she has to fake her death all because of her sister young Emma Frost that was in captivity for Strykers experiment....
young Emma's freedome was at stake so she has no choice....



Young Emma Frost is played by Tahyna Tozzi (She will soon be the new headmistress of the Xaviers School for Gifted Children marrying Scott Summers and possess the powers of telepathy and later evolves to turning her hair and skin as strong as diamonds)
Wolverine help to destroy all the facilties and free the young mutants together with young Scott Summers...



Cyclops a.k.a Scott Summers is starred by newcomer Tim Pocock (Cyclops is the leader of the X-Men that projects beam of ruby colored optic blast from his eyes, due to head injuries he cannot stop his optic blast at will therefore he was force to wear a Ruby quartz shade at all times)
young Scott was telepathicaly link to Charles Xavier which lead the young mutants to freedom...
meanwhile they were running away Wolverine were left behind to battle with the weapon XI an enhance Cyborg form of Deadpool...



Ryan Reynolds starred as Deadpool a.k.a Wade Wilson
(Deadpool is a mecenary with superhuman healing powers that derived from Wolverine and superhuman agility, strength and stamina together with his skilled swordmanship and reflexes which makes him a very skilled assasin with the help of his holographic disguise and his teleportation belt)
after fierce duel between the two ....
Sabretooth joins in the party ....
after defeating Deadpool Sabretooth escape once again leaving Wolverine behind in the colapsing funnel when Gambit barge in to save him...
Gambit later split up with wolverine to evacuate everyone ....
when he were shot in the head by Stryker by adamantium bullets which erase the memories of poor Wolverine....
after gunning Wolverine down stryker manage to kill Silverfox...
when Wolverine awakes he have no memory of everything including himself....
so that is how Wolverine has vague memories of his past in the 1st movie of X-Men....

the movie is overall entertaining but in the other hand enjoyable too...
but the movie makes me wanna watch even more....
too bad we have to wait till the sequel arrives .... or another crazy cameo prequels....
before i end this please when your in the cinema watching make sure u watch the credits as there has a few extra scenes as all marvel movie does....
