i wanna watch it, ill definitely buy the movie support my peepz.

Wow, it looks like a good movie. I guess Cambodian gangs can actually make us look good after all.

nah...Don't give me wrong ,I support my peeps. BUT we've seen ton of these kind of movies..give us something original, one thing impressed me was these actors use their own voice, unlike addlip banwagon Sheit!..

The movie looks good, when is it out, is it on youtube yet. We need more asian movies and actors in Hollywood, it doesn't have to be any asian ethnic just as long asian representing asian talents in general. I believe there is a big market out there for asian talent in hollywood. I think asian have too much martial arts movie already, we need new materials like love story, something funny or romantic. Harold and Khumar isn't a bad movie either. I thought it was lame when i first saw it but it was funny after i saw it like five times.

The acting is kinda cheesy. But atleast we get some spotlight.

you seen it already, is it on youtube yet?

no, From watching the trailer, the acting wasnt that good.lol

looks alright. definitely the acting is a bit on the low end but it's all good.

looks good I am definetely watching it

Let me educate you a little bit about originality. I hope you don’t find my respond offensive.

There is no such thing as original. What you want to do it already been done. What you’re about to do are already been made. What you’re planning to do someone else is already working on it.

It is how you present your work that set you apart from the rest. A lot of Cambodians misuse the word “Original”.

I hope I don't offend you or your company.So how do you present your work? Don't give me wrong....someone with camera and alittle bit of creativity can accomplish the same deal.. what I'm saying is show me what haven't done before, camera angle, usuage of media(camera) and so on....I think one that come to mind was the "blair Witch project" You knew what kind of camera they used,B/W footages.. so on so..

I don't find your respond offensive,but I found you're limited yourself to a certain aspect. I am an artist myself and I went thru a certain of training and experienced some of other mediums(art,videography,and mix media) that available out there...that's just my opinion,if you can't take criticism from your viewers,what's the purpose of making movie? just my .02

p.s. My criticism is base on what I seen on the video,Now If I seen the whole movie otherwise my comment probably state differently.

if they produced using the styles of cambodians from long beach, that would be awesome. that was based in new york and they talked like twinkies. cambodian gangs do not talk like twinkies, they talk like niggas. i guess it wouldnt be appropriate to speak slang on the big screen especially coming from asians.

Khamara,

I don t know how you get from “originality” to “criticism”. I think you misunderstood what you were reading. I do not view your remark as a criticism. I was merely explaining about originality.

You’ve said you wanted people to show you something original. If you are in the film and/or an artist within the media industry you would not use such word. Like I have said before there is no such thing as originality. It is the background of the story itself will make the movie different.

To answer your statement about “someone with camera and a little bit of creativity can accomplish the same deal”, I have to disagree with that. Indeed one can pick up a camcorder and a flashlight and be able to achieve the same SHOTS but not the same DEAL. If simple as that, Hollywood would probably be out of business a long time ago. The Living Dangerously trailers have been shown to film industry all over the country. Not once has any filmmakers mentioned about camera angles, format, etc. Somehow when you shown it to Cambodians viewers all of them think they know everything there is to know about filmmaking. Why is that? I think they use the word “criticism” as an excuse to cover their real motive.

To shoot and edit in your house is and easy thing to do. Nowadays anyone can purchase editing software for less than a thousand dollars. More over, you can also get sound effects through the internet. The question is, why do filmmakers still spend million of dollars on their movie for sound effect and other stuff? Because they are not planning to put their work on YouTube.

I think you have been watching too much “Matrix” movies. There are limited to what you can do to achieve camera angles. Would it look right to do a matrix shot if you are making “Jurassic Park or Boyz N the Hood”? A certain shot it only work with a certain movie. And it is the filmmaker choice whether he/she chose to shoot on B/W film. If you want to talk about “Blair Watch Project” I can give you details down to the type of screws they used to mount the camera. But that is another store.
What bothered me most is when you said “
My criticism is base on what I seen on the video, Now If I seen the whole movie otherwise my comment probably state differently”

That is like saying you saw a girl walking down the street dressed in a hooker outfits and right away you call her a Hooker. Then you turned around and said well if I known her I would reconsider judgment. That’s don’t make sense to me.

I’ll tell you what. To prove my point I will make you a deal. Shoot something with your camera with the same quality as the trailer. Make sure you use the camera angles that have not been done before. Once you are done, upload it to YouTube and show me. If you be able to show me something new and original, I will write you a 20 thousand dollars check.

I hate to write this much but you need to understand what you are saying before saying it. I had the feeling you put a comment just for the sake of having a comment. Which there’s nothing wrong with that, but I think you need to understand certain things before making a comment.

Just because I write all of these don’t mean I have something against you. I just want you to understand that things are not as simple as one may think.

If they "Produced using the styles of cambodians from long beach"? dont make sense here. You think all Khmer talk like Black people? You need to be out on the streets around the states first to answer my question.

Lots of educated people in here...or I should say educated wannabe.

DarkStorm,

Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to reply to a nobody like myself. Your last post you said" let me educate you alittle bit about originality" You haven't so please don't tell me what I already knew. Some how you sound cocky, you said you can tell me what kind of screws they use to mount on the camera..bravo...am I suppose to be impressed with that?

DarkStorm

"Not once has any filmmakers mentioned about camera angles, format, etc. Somehow when you shown it to Cambodians viewers all of them think they know everything there is to know about filmmaking" May be we tell it like it is? The truth hurt..."All of them" that not true..some of them like your work.

I knew what I'm saying,and I'm sticking to it. You don't needs to tell me to think before I say it. I'm not a 12 year old kid who can't differentiate between what and what.

"What bothered me most" Aren't the trailer suppose to sell the movie? I tell it is base on what you put on that trailer..Somehow I'm not convinced about the movie..DarkStorm to be honest with you..I wouldn't go to see the movie base on what I seen in that trailer...

for your information... I don't like Matrix,boyz N dahood crap, stop making assumption. Please don't let a little "criticism" from me get you down,you have better thing to do than dealing with 1% of disagreement about your movie...carry on,more power to you !

PS. I don't need your 20 thousand dollars check from you..please don't insult me as one Cambodian-American who work hard to support my family,I don't need handout, I'm not one of those money hungry mofo.

in short: forget what I wrote or criticized your movie, I'm sorry If I'm not that impress(thrill) with your work,But as an artist you should have already know that, You win some, you loose some..

carry on....

Khamara,

You should not take this conversation to the heart. I do not mean to insult you nor do I intended to offense you. And there is no need to apologize. If I can not handle criticism I would have responded to all of the comments posted on here. I do not expect everyone to be thrilled about the trailer. Like you have said “you’ll win some, you’ll loose some”.

I really don’t care about people criticizing the movie. One out of ten refused to see the movie doesn’t mean the company will go bankrupt. I know everyone has their own agenda or motive for saying the thing they say. I decided to reply to your comment based on the word “original”. It seems whenever I have a conversation with a Khmer person he/she thinks everything has to be original. What is original? How can one produce something to be considered original? So when I came across your comment, the word original caught my attention. I guess in a way I wanted you not to think like the rest of the Khmer people. That’s why I said the thing I said to you on the respond. Since you did say you are an artist yourself. . Khmer people like to drown their own people. In doing so they blamed others for their people down fall.

For some reason you interpreted my writing in a negative way. In doing so you yourself decided I can not handle criticism.

I am not upset nor do I take it personal. It is only a conversation for one to understand the situation. I hope you feel the same.

yea the movie looks cool. Keep me up todate when it comes out on sale.
