I finally saw Where East is East, I won't give any spoilers (though if you've read the wikipedia article than you'll know the jest of the plot)
First off BEST PARTS!!!
-Lon (Tiger) LIVES!!!!! *dances* -this does not happen a lot.
- He has a super adorable relationship with his daughter Toyo, the best I'd say out of any of his Father/daughter films.
- The sets are beautiful, and they actually use Asian people. (well mostly)
-The story has a somewhat similar "relationship" between the main characters as those in The Man Who Laughs.
I liked the movie, the characters are not bland or flat and for once (or maybe twice) Lon isn't the only one carrying the story [i[all[/i] the main actors are great in their respective roles, even Bobby (Charlie Sheen's earliest role) is three dimensional, though at times I can't help but wonder why Tiger (Lon Chaney) wasn't as pissed at him as he was at his ex, I mean he was breaking his little girl's heart you'd think he'd want to kill him.
As I said before I LOVED Tiger and Toyo's relationship. They act like a real father/ daughter, my favorite scene with them is when Toyo, has just realized Bobby is infatuated with her mother, but shes trying to play it off as if it's not bothering her, but she quickly can't and she goes running to her daddy's arms for comfort, which he willingly gives with tears coming from his eyes.T-T ..::beautiful::..
I would be remiss to not mention the villain, or what is acting as one. Femme fatal really, like most melodramas they have a really lame reason for her even being in the plot, she literately just-so-happen to see Bobby, liked him and he just-so-happened to be sailing with Tiger who she just-so-happen to used to be married to (well I guess, they never actually say they were married. Well at the very least got pregnant by) Tiger. Whats her motivation to stay in the plot and even enter her daughters life (which she didn't seem to care about before) because she really enjoys destroying people's happiness and if it just so happens to piss Tiger off the better (I'm guessing) because she has no reason, no reason what so ever to hate her daughter, if anything it should be the other way around, but Toyo is very excepting and very nice to her. You'd think she'd have a change of heart, but nope shes as cold as ice. Well whatever a monkey eats her in the end, which goes to show you be nice or monkeys will eat you when you least expect it.
