Call it “comedic bloodshed.” Released one year before he rewrote the action movie book with A Better Tomorrow, John Woo’s melodramatic tragicomedy The Time You Need a Friend (1985) stands at the crucial crossroads in the director’s career. Woo had been churning out innocuous comedies for more than a few years, and after establishing the “heroic bloodshed” genre, he’d never look back. But The Time You Need a Friend’s tale of two comedians - estranged former pals who bury the hatchet for one last show together - blends the pathos and male-bonding of Woo’s later dramas with the silliness and pratfalls that marked his early works. Ku Ren and Shem Bien are retired comedians. On stage, they were complementary to each other in bringing joy and laugher to lots of audience. However a misunderstanding has broken off their friendship. The comedians are both invited to participate in a charity show organized by a television corporation to raise funds for the handicapped children. At the press conference, both Ku Ren and Shem Bien refuse to play against each other on stage. With the efforts of their offsprings, Ku Ren and Shem Bien finally reconcile. The comedians are at their best on fund raising night. Amidst the heart throbbing music and captivating dance, Shem Bien collapses of a heart attack and dies on stage. Ku Ren having just regained his companion, loses him again. Package Contains 1 disc Specifications | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
