Pura Pura Sukura Movie
A success of Bollywood, Golden Harvest top gun Jingle Ma has given us Para Para Sakura, translates as Wacky Dance Craze Cherry Blossom. Philip Wong (Arron kwok), a dance fitness instructor who is totally color-blind. Until he meets free spirit Yuri (Cecilia Cheung) that color begins to appear to him, and only when she’s dead center in his sights. He start to wooing Yuri isn’t that easy. First he must contend with Yuri’s upcoming wedding to an old childhood friend. Second, Philip is saddled with all sorts of screwy hang-ups that could only exist in the movies. He believes he’s under a curse from one of his dad’s old girlfriends to be rendered alone whenever he utters the words, “I Love You".
Philip has a penchant for acting like a complete idiot and shooting off at the mouth. That’s fine by Yuri because she also has a penchant for acting like a complete idiot and shooting off at the mouth. Eventually,this new couple must find trust and hope among the multitudes of plot devices that threaten to destroy their blessed union. They have to pause for the occasional cathartic dance number that either alienates or enchants you with its Cantopop rhythms and eclectic dance styles.
This movie had a lot of wacky dancing in this movie, from the eponymous Para Para to breakdancing to No Celtic dance. Midway of the film, there’s a car crash and Kwok decides to start Riverdancing on the cars to joy of passerbys and even the attending traffic cops, who start hoofing it instead of handing out tickets. This movie has impressive production design and lovely cinematography.
