yamakasi
... a wonderful french film directed by luc besson.
i happened to catch it on tv today.. and boy was it good!! i mean.. i've never watched such an interesting and exciting show in a long time... it's so different from the typical hollywood blockbuster... sometimes.. .european shows have much more depth and creativity in their shows.
yamakasi is about.. 7 men who LOVES to do stunts... they climb high-rise residential apartments and are all over the place. this really pissed off the chief of the police department cuz they are so hard to get. the brother of a friend of those 7 men needed a heart operation but couldn't afford. these men then decided to use their "talents".. break into houses and help raise the money.
the procedure is exciting and totally fast-paced. these guys can really move! they jump through windows... climb over EVERYTHING... and hop from buildings to buildings... nothing stops them! and there was a part where they were in this house... when the cops came... and it's sooooo exciting... they didn't get caught and not only that.. .they almost emptied the house of everything valuable... right under the cops' nose!!! and the last part where they were caught... it was ingenious of luc besson to cut-and-paste their absolutely OUTTA THIS WORLD statement to the police on why exactly they were in the house. hilarious!
and yes.. there was this unexpected eye-candy... a guy in the show called oliver chen.. he looks asian.. and the credits show his name.. to be pretty... complicated. i gather he must be a vietnamese or something .. judging from the name. he got this really boyish look.. and his escape from the cops with a fellow mate was the MOST exciting!!!
ah... i love european shows... yamakasi....amelie....marlena...life is beautiful....give them to me anytime~!!!
