646f9e108c Fantasy adventure about the arrival of Buddhism in China. When the Goddess of Happiness tosses the Longevity Monk and his disciples out of heaven (because the Monkey King tried to attain immortality), the Monkey King is reincarnatedthe Joker. He now spends his time chasing two jealous women. When one of them is dying, the Joker goes back in time in an attempt to save her. Based on the novel&#39;Journey To The West&#39;,but not the original version,also not the traditional way the story goes.Born in Chinaa 90&#39;s,i&#39;ve been reading the novel since i was 6,so were others,basically every kids here knows that the Monkey King–Son Goku was punished for his sins and forced to gain freedom by a tough way–escorting Tang Priest to the very west,also been through a lot suffering.Trust me,that is only halfway from my knowledge of Goku. Til this movie showed up and blew my mind. As a very foreign movie, some may consider ita comedy,but it&#39;s actually a tragedy for Goku and Zixia.(or should i say Stephen Chow and Athena Chu?)So be sure to watch two parts to fully understanding the whole story,and the emotion.Like i said,LAUGH TIL I CRY. Stephen Chow Sing Chi&#39;s take on the Monkey King tale (A Journey West) is insanely confusing in parts, but strangely all makes sense at the same time.<br/><br/>Maybe it&#39;s because there is so much going on, maybe it&#39;s because it&#39;s thick with Chinese fantasy and myths, or possibly it&#39;s because you are left p*ssing yourself laughing at the entire cast you just give up trying to concentrate!<br/><br/>Bottom line, this is one of the best Monkey King tales I&#39;ve ever seen.<br/><br/>When have you never laughed hard at Chow Sing Chi and Ng Man Tat? I wouldn&#39;t say ACO is a great cross-over movie to introduce new fans to Chow, but it does need to be seen for anyone interested in the famous tale of the Monkey King.<br/><br/>Not just because of its stars, but because of the epic-like quality of (both) movies, which are huge in scale, production values, story, and fantastical action, with Chow Sing Chithe Monkey King, Ng Man TatPigsy, Law Kar YingPrince Tripitaka, giant Spider Women, the Bull King, and much more including the beautiful Anthea Chu and Karen MokChow&#39;s love interests.<br/><br/>This film rocks!
