It’s a “pretty woman” copy. But 10 times

It’s a “pretty woman” copy. But 10 times worse. A Sex scene every 10 min.( Come on, write something creative).

As a biography, it tells a very good

As a biography, it tells a very good story of Anita's life - given that you've known a bit more about her life beforehand in order to understand some of the references in the movie. For those who don't know her well enough (e.g. the critics who gave bad reviews), you're better off watching the TV series of this covering more details in 5 episodes.

A misleading and incomplete movie

Those who gave it a score of 10 or 1 are rather strange.I find the movie disappointing and rather overhyped or overrated from HK. The whole movie suffered from a poor script or editing, the trailer is far better.Too much of real events are deliberately left out probably not to tarnish her image and to appeal to the government and her fans. Her fame as both an actress and singer wasn't felt in the movie and most hit songs at the peak of her career wasn't mentioned at all. Her mum and brother was totally left out, Leslie Cheung's success wasn't mentioned at all making him looked like an unsuccessful artist until after his death, her "slapped" scene by a gangster was shown but what followed all changed, the guy got killed wasn't mentioned at all. We can't feel or see Anita's character and spirit from the movie, can't really understand why in some scenes she felt unhappy or stressed. The best scene in the movie is when she and Leslie film "Rogue", very creative and some HK outdoor scenes of the 80s look realistic. Some said there will be a director's cut of 4 hours, hopefully it will rectify all the shortcomings.
