Shadow
Ying is a patience movie. Highly stylized, using a grey scale to compose scenarios and costumes prominently, the feature film by director Zhang Yimou ('Hero', 'The Flying Daggers') takes advantage of a story that flows slowly, like a calm river in the plain. It requires perseverance from the viewer, who may tire with the first half, with a lot of drama, conversations and political strategies of Ancient China. In the second half, however, when the wars start and the story gears up, the film takes on a striking epic air -- but without leaving the good script and, mainly, the styling aside. The yin-yang, symbol used all the time in the scenes of the film, shows well what Zhang wanted to do here: a balanced film, seeking to smooth out the excesses all the time, in which story mixes with action, style with narrative, drama with intensity. Good movie to pass the time and, also, to understand better about the history of China from other times.
Thriller
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2
Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 is the unlikely sequel to the feature film that placed the characters of this playful and childlike universe into a world of violence and horror. However, don't expect a production as weak as the previous film: with the success of the first installment at the box office, the production had more money to invest, and thus Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 manages to be more realistic, violent, and impressive compared to the first film. The characters' masks are much scarier, and it ceases to be a complete joke. It's still difficult to take the film entirely seriously, especially with this bizarre premise of Pooh and his friends seeking bloody revenge, but you can already feel more fear and, above all, immerse yourself in the wave of violence that the film promotes. To have fun with friends.
