Creative, outrageous, inspring, unique, beautiful, descriptive, meaningful, eye-catching … and much more; all should be the features we are looking for while seeing a movie poster. I’m indeed loving movie posters, and have been collecting them through time. Just want to start a seri on Top Movie Posters Of All Times. Send me suggestion should I miss, and I should, any good one you feel

First part with 15 posters:

1. Departures (Okuribito) <2008>

Selected as Winner of the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film 2008, Departures is a must for people who appreciate the Japanese culture and want to explore more about Japanese life and probably even death. Being a semi-pro cellist, Daigo Kobayashi cannot get away with the thought: “This celo is innocent. But because it’s in my hand, it became a loser“; so he decided to move back to his hometown together with his wife. He got a new job with no-question interview and discovered that the actual work is Nokanshi or ‘encoffineer’ – a funeral professional who prepares deceased bodies for burial and enter the last journey.

Despite the fact that no one supported him including his wife, Daigo takes a pride in his work and begins to perfect his art of ‘Nokanshi’ acting as a gatekeeper between life and death, between the departed and the family of the departed. And just like that, the music comes naturally out of his heart remaining him of his happy childhood and his current gently job …

1. Shinjuku Incident (2009)

Starring Jackie Chan, Daniel Wu, Fan Bingbing, Shinjuku Incident retold a story of Chinese migrant communities in Tokyo hounded by the Yakuza and living each day in fear of being discovered and repatriated.

It is an alien world for Steelhead (Jackie Chan), an honest, hardworking tractor repairman from northern China, who took the perilous journey to Tokyo in search of his girlfriend, Xiu Xiu. Steelhead wins the respect of migrants by establishing a base for them and forming an uneasy alliance with the Yakuza. But his peace is short-lived as he learns that his friends are being used to front the Yakuza’s drug business.

Steelhead feels responsible for this turn of events but can one Chinese migrant take on the Yakuza?

It’s been a while Asian movies are back to storm the screen Jackie Chan this time portraited a whole new style with Shinjuku Incident, and thank to his dramatic role that make Shinjuku Incident even more amazing. One should not miss it, especially when you are fan of Asia crime drama and gang stories.

Last but not least, director of Shinjuku Incident, Derek Yee, was director of Protege (2007), hope that name would ring a bell

Chắc hẳn nhiều người còn nhớ bộ phim “Thái Bình Thiên Quốc” (TBTQ) chiếu từ khá lâu trên truyền hình kể về cuộc khởi nghĩa Thái Bình Thiên Quốc của nông dân Trung Quốc chống lại nhà Thanh. Phim lấy bối cảnh nhà Thanh sau năm 1840 khi đã lung lay bởi Bạch họa (hay chiến tranh nha phiến) của tây phương; tiếp theo là nạn đói ở Lưỡng Quảng khiến nông dân nổi lên làm loạn.

Người đứng đầu cuộc khởi nghĩa TBTQ là Hồng Tú Toàn.
