A group of old men take over an empty house and proclaim it to be a new “country” they have founded, called Yama. (“Yamato” is one of the oldest names for Japan, “yama” itself means “mountain.”) The men basically refuse to be thrown out of this domicile by some gangsters, and they are successful for several months. Their resistance started on December 8th, the date Pearl Harbor was bombed (not the 7th because one crosses the International Date Line and gains a day while heading west from the U.S.) and lasts until August 15th, the date when Japan officially surrendered at the end of World War II.

Spain, mysterious and passionate … It is an erotic fantasy for many tourists. So the brave matador performed by Gabriel Pontello indulges in passionate sexual joys with his fans. Moreover, on bullfighting it is clearly less common than on fans.

Dennis Jennings (Steven Wright) is an introverted daydreamer, sleepwalking through life. He is a professional waiter and has an equally-dull girlfriend, Emma. In an attempt to release his pent-up feelings of isolation, he begins seeing a psychiatrist (Rowan Atkinson), only to discover that the doctor is somewhat less than interested in what he has to say…

Quote:
Following their collaborations on the international art house hits Red Sorghum and Ju Dou, director Zhang Yimou and actress Gong Li reteamed for this bigbudget fantasy. Stepping in front of the camera this time, Zhang stars as a Qin Dynasty chamberlain who makes the mistake of falling for one of the emperor’s concubines. As punishment, he is transformed into a Terracotta Warrior and awakens 3,000 years later, where he encounters an actress who is a dead ringer for the woman who captivated him so many years ago. Written by acclaimed novelist Lilian Lee and directed by Hong Kong action specialist Ching Siu-Tung (A Chinese Ghost Story), A Terracotta Warrior is a captivating combination of humor, adventure and romance. Zhang and Gong give winning performances, and their chemistry was no doubt heightened by the fact that they were also a couple offscreen at the time.

Letterboxd review:
★★★½ Watched by Aaron King 18 Oct 2014

Two men on an epic quest have endured some of the worst things possible that can be done to them. One guy gets a spear through his cheek, another gets stabbed in both of his legs by a spear which causes him to walk with crutches for awhile. Then one gets a beetle in his ear and has to have wax heated up and poured in it, then it looked like he stabbed the beetle in his ear. One has to have some of his leg cut off due to walking too much. One got attacked by a lion and almost gotten eaten. People have never lived until they have done an experience like this. These two men have endured a very rough friendship together to find what they are looking for.
