Fu for Thought Podcast episode 140 - A Bittersweet Life (2005)
We are Cyrus-less again this week, but me and Devan sit down for a little change of pace and review the Korean classic, A BITTERSWEET LIFE.
We do a deep dive on the film's themes, discuss whether this is a gangster film or revenge film (or both), and, of course, gush over the amazing action sequences.
Later on, we answer listener questions and discuss Quentin Tarantino's recent reveal that he'll never watch Toy Story 4. Enjoy!

    This is one of my personal favorite films. Nice episode! I think you might be more familiar with Billy Chan than you think: Billy Chan Wu Ngai was a choreographer for several other movies like Prodigal Son ,Knockabout. Warriors Two, Odd Couple etc. He also directed several films like License to Steal with Joyce Godenzi and Yuen Biao among others. He was the assistant director for Heart of The Dragon. He shows up in small parts in many films ( he plays a small part in The Victim as one of Beardy's friends). Fun fact: His brother is Peter Chan Lung ( The wallet from Prodigal Son and Fong Sai Yuk are probably Peter's most known roles, Peter plays the brother of Beardy's wife in The Victim) About the physical capabilities of some performers: Yuen Wah said that he was among the opera troupe students the most adept at flips/acrobatics in general (Swordsman HKL interview I think), whereas Yuen Biao said that his biggest strength was doing physical feats in a confined space ( Eastern heroes The Victim DVD interview I think?). This was well demonstrated in the Eastern Condors stage performance where Yuen Wah did several flips covering space whereas yuen biao did several flips while standing in place. PS: If you wanna demonstrate undercranking to the extreme just have a look at 90's Donnie Yen choreography (especially his TV work) :D in terms of format I like a mix as much as the next person, but as a nerd I am somewhat partial to discussing the ins and out. End of Novel :D

    Hey guys. Great episode. Brandon Lee was the actor in mind for the role of Neo in the Matrix when the Wachowski's were writing the script in the early 90's. I think he would have been awesome and agree that basically anything that Keanu did, he could have done. Interestingly, Brandon did want to move away from doing strictly action roles so I think he could have turned out to be quite a versatile actor. He was also friends with George Clooney and knew Brad Pitt before they were super famous so could have followed their career paths too.

I've got pretty much every Shaw kung fu wuxia film (no Tiger boy or The Boxers sadly) , it amazes me how some films didn't get remastered by Celestial, some great titles slipped through the net.

    I know it would suck, but you probably need to turn off your AC when recording (or it's a fridge). There's a pretty loud low hum in this video and your Crippled Masters review. Not so much in your Life After Fighting or Walled In reviews, so something has changed to add that noise. Loud buzzing. Besides that, enjoying the reviews.
