One of the latest in Marvel’s ever growing treasure trove of blockbusters is about to be the pinnacle of #aznpride. The trailer for Shang-Chi dropped on the 20th of April 2021, with Marvel wishing Simu Liu a Happy Birthday in their post! Watching it gave me goosebumps (the good kind) at the sight of some Asian favourites from the last few decades.
As a Netflix and Chill type, I know Simu Liu from Kim’s Convenience but found myself rubbing my eyes and replaying the trailer again and again to confirm that Tony Leung was in it! Oh the nostalgia of Wah Lai Toi and TVB.
The first thing you need to know about Equals is that it s set in a world depopulated by war, where the open display of emotion is forbidden and romantic love is a crime. Your reaction to that summary will probably determine whether you can give yourself over to this film well, that or your interest in Kristen Stewart, who plays one half of a couple that falls in love anyway, damn the consequences.
Stewart had a rough go of things early on in her career, making a lot of money starring in the Twilight films but also being slammed as an unconvincing actress who came across as wooden when called upon to project big, melodramatic feelings. With a bit of distance from that series, we can see that Stewart was doing heroic work in a part that didn t naturally suit her. She s a very subtle actress who excels at roles that keep the audience at some remove, suggesting a character s interior state with measured gestures and expressions. Michelangelo Antonioni would have known how to us
