TAKESHI KANESHIRO

I am watching all of Kaneshiro's films that are on disc. I admired him so in Red Cliff that I wanted to see his other films.

Kineshiro is Taiwanese / Japanese and started as a matinee idol, a singer. But he has put the emphasis on a film career in Hong Kong. He is doing or has done what some singers, most recently Justin Timberlake, sometimes do. A mid career transition. Kaneshiro has been at it for awhile longer.

Interestingly, Kaneshiro resembles Timberlake physically, in an oriental way of course.

Today's film was Tian ya hai jiao / Lost and Found

It is a contemporary romance nicely done with a great ending.

Part of it takes place, improbably, in Scotland. It does make sense when you are watching it. Or not. But the photography there is terrific.

.I liked it and will give it a 4 out of Netflix5.
