| What role do you think Takeshi Kaneshiro was best as an actor - not looking good or fabulous 'cause the film was great - but his acting was better than anything else.
In my opinion that film is the House of the Flying Daggers. | |

| As for me, I'm sure that TK was great in "The House of the Flying Daggers", but frankly speaking, I haven't seen a single film with him where his acting is disappointing. He's marvellously different every time, but at the same time in each role he is kind of 'sincere'. Paraphrasing the famous Stanislavsky's quote, "I do believe." I've been looking for films with his participation, and here in Russia I've found "Chung King Express", "Fallen Angels", "Downtown Torpedoes", "Ritana", "House of Flying Daggers", and "The Warlords". Through channels of my own I've also found "Lavender" in Chinese with English subtitles. It's even difficult to say where he is best. Everywhere.
As Vladimir Vysotsky once wrote,
In these days, too, the poets Walk on razors barefoot And – slash to ribbons naked hearts and souls. | |

| Ognyana, you so good wrote your thinkings I don't know english so well like Ognyana, but I will try to write mine opinion)) Be honest, I don't like so much this his role as Jin ("House of Flying Daggers"), I like more his role in one japonese short serial as Keigo ("Kamisama mou sukoshi dake"), and of course as Jakal ("Downtown torpedoes"), as Angel in "Lavender"  (I know where you can to download this film in original with eng. & rus. subtitles  ), and in Red Cliff much too! In "Accuracy of Death" (or "Sweet Rain") his role is nice too. I noticed that those roles are very different and I think it's great, because he can to pass a character of his hero, but anyway they all have some special, wich can to play only TK, and wich give a charm to heroes. Not long ago I saw "Too tired to die" and now I don't know what to think  | |

| Apart from a story... My best role is Keigo Ishikawa(Kamisama mou sukoshidake) ...    About"Too tired to die" ,I agree, too. I have a feeling that very strange Japan was projected.  | |

| It might be. But I strongly doubt that it will lead him anywhere as far as the acting talent is mentioned (if we forget the universal acclaim and heaps of dough, which might be important though). Unfortunately, it seems to me that Hollywood has turned into a huge conveyorbelt of mediocre films with basically 3 or 4 plots repeating themselves (just remember the famous episode in the Wall when the schoolchildren are marching and falling into a huge meat grinder) and predictable endings. The breakthroughs are very few and wide apart. They claim they know what the public wants. Then in most cases i am not their public. I wonder what is going on on the whole - films tend to grow 'faceless', 'Hollywoodized', or follow the European idea of "stuff them with as much perversion as you can, it's hard to surprise the public". In this b----y country (which I'm ready to die for, such an unrequited love) they feed us Hollywood cud and our 'new cinema' that in many cases follows the same stencils. I wonder why feed us this s--t instead of buying and showing really good things, such as "Supesutoraberazu", or even "Heung joh chow heung yau chow" , etc. If you only knew HOW I got most of the TK movies...
"Supesutoraberazu" IS great! It's not only the work of TK, but of Ken Watanabe, and ALL the rest plus the director.
As to TK's best role, I hope it still awaits him - as little Hollywood as possible, please? | |

| rabi-san, "Supesutoraberazu" - yes as far as I can see your PC does not have this typing style so that is why you cannot read two letters 'cause they are "a" with a shortening signs _________________  May the Force Be With You! | |

| rabi-san, I copied the title from IMDB.Com. It indeed contains diacritics that most PCs won't read. "Supesutoraberazu", yes. And, please, don't call me Ognyana-SAN. The SAN makes me feel queer and uneasy, just as if it were applied to an elderly professor or a guru. I'm not that old or that clever.  I feel as if i failed to meet smb's expectations and fell short of some standard when i see this SAN. I've recently seen "Shinigami-no Seido". A success again. Another excellent piece of acting. By the way, many actors let mannerisms and gestures of their own get into the behaviour of their characters. How do I know? Watching films I can see the same gesture repeated, a peculiar way of tossing one's head, etc. What amazes me TK ALMOST NEVER lets this happen. He doesn't repeat himself or his characters. AMAZING! Every role is unique and the best. | |

| rabi, I did want to ask you, may be it's not right to ask something like this, but how old are you?  25 or older? Because I did approach you rabi-chan  and perhaps it was incorrect either. And you, Ognyana too  | |

| Oke, rabi-chan! I will call you so And I agree, that age isn't so important in love. Love is love in all ages, like a miracle in every heart Anyway I like to call like this  , and I'm very glad that Jin is so popular, and so much beloved!  | |

| It's O.K. with me if you just use my nick when addressing me. I think it's a forum of equals, as we are all fans of TK.  Anyway, here we are off work, and it's mostly there where rank, social status, age and god knows what else may matter. The age of a woman is a kind of taboo in my culture. On the other hand, it doesn't disagree with me if I'm using '-san' or other forms of polite addressing others. It's absolutely O.K. with me, it doesn't go against the grain. Just tell me how you like to be addressed. No problem.  | |

| Rabi-san, -chan is perfect. By the way, saw "Chi bi" the other day. You know, TK MAKES the film again. At least when I first read through "Three Kingdoms" I am ashamed to say I was reading and forgetting almost at the same moment. '  ' There were several reasons for that - endless names that you seem unable either to understand or to memorize for that reason (as European names don't mean a thing to Asians I'm sure) and sort out who's who, a lot of characters, an unusual style of storytelling (at least for many a European), events that don't ring any bell for most Europeans - the book resembled a maze. Now Zhuge Liang has a face (at least that's my personal association), and more than that - the calmness masking that the man is drawn like a bow quivering with suppressed tension, aristocratic touch of humour and clear understanding of things, a touch of mild irony and some hidden sadness, a living soul deep inside. (Why am I so bad at wording what I see?) If it were not for him, and Sun Quan played by Chen Chang and Sun Quan's sister the film would be just another Chinese battle epic for me. I must confess (as I used to have some acquaintances among local rock and reggae musicians) I was especially delighted with the 'jam session'. '  ' I've seen more than once how it works in real life when two people meet and start talking this way. On the whole, looking forward to Part 2. | |

| Hi Ognyana-chan I have saw "Three Kingdoms" by an Anime before.  It was easy for me to learn their relations and name. It is because probably we use a Kanji routinely. And I think that the reason is because I can understand the meaning of the name than a European person.Otherwise I think that I am not learning.  By the way, it snowed for the first time this year yesterday. It is cold.  | |
