Movies on the Beach - House of Flying Daggers
Today we went to a new event called "Movies on the Beach", which is being presented by the Bermuda Internation Film Festival (BIFF) and the Bermuda Department of Tourism. An outdoor theatre has be assembled on Warwick Long Bay beach, with a very large movie screen (much live a drive-in screen). We went to the opening night of the event and so did many other people -- I was surprised how many turned out for the event.
After setting up our camping chairs, we were a little concerned that we were too far away to read th e subtitles of The House of Flying Daggers, which is in Mandarin. We had nothing to worry about, but there were people who were sitting twice as far away from the screen as us.
The House of Flying Daggers was very good. Few movies can truly be called works or art, but this one qualifies. You could take hundreds of frames from this movie and they would do well in photography contests. The colors and camera work are amazing. If you haven't seen it, you should definitely do so, (ideally on a huge screen on the beach).
