Your Heart X Will Lead About: As the Light Goes Out 救火英雄

 

First movie of the year

have been expecting since

some times ago

 

throughout 2013

had not seen a single Shawn Yue's in theatre

《SDU: Sex Duties Unit 飛虎出征》

didn’t suit right

 

but I swear to goodness

I am still a die hard fan of his

more so, after this one

 

because he doesn't have to

try too hard to act as someone else

not to say that he doesn’t put in effort

of course there are unsung effort

behind the scene

 

he simply fits in characters perfectly well

He is Shawn Yue/Cheung Chi Ming

or "Ar Chill" in this one

I couldn't tell who is who

 

how I like the name being

translated as "Ar Chill"

 

he always looks chill

yet knows how to get things go about

 

I don't know

probably people who don't

really like him will label his attitude as

a form of arrogance

Chok/hea/whatever you call it

 

but this is the one thing

which makes him so mesmerizing to me

 

Shawn Yue is neither hot

nor cool like Nicholas Tse

he is just at the "room" temperature

Just right

 

anyway

I can go on talking about Shawn

back to the movie

 

It turned out to be

above expectation

thanks to the

well developed story line

 

not the typical

got the call and rush to the scene

kind of story telling

 

bet you have not encountered

this one, at such scale

although you have watched the

fire fighting series of TVB

 

I have no taste for

disaster genre

yet this was fine because

the cause of disaster was

logically and practically constructed

not something out of wild imagination

 

it even sets me thinking

how high is the probability of this scenario

happening for real

heavens… no!

 

there are a couple of quotes

pretty meaningful

something like:

although you are walking with others

in darkness, you can only rely on yourself

 

don’t believe in what you see

trust your gut feeling

 

also feel grateful to see

Deep Ng 吳浩康 and

Kenny Kwan 關智斌 in the movie

always wish they could do better in

Cantopop industry

 

so basically you get to see

Different era of cantopop male artist

From Nicholas Tse, Shawn Yue

To Deep Ng, Kenny Kwan

then the cutie pie William Chan

 

A good start for 2014

looking forward to more great movies

HK production, particularly

 

Kudos to the director

Derek Kwok
