Description
"Despite being shut down by two world wars, having its martial arts films dismissed as "chopsocky," and operating on shoestring budgets, the industry of filmmaking in Hong Kong has been praised and imitated around the world. From its beginning in 1909 with the silent short Stealing the Roast Duck to the martial arts classic Enter the Dragon (1973) to Peter Chan's Perhaps Love (2005), a reinvention of Chinese musicals via Hollywood, the vast cinema of Hong Kong has continually reinvented itself. Stars such as Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Jet Li have become household names; while actors Andy Lau, Maggie Cheung, Stephen Chiau, Michelle Yeoh, and Chow Yun-fat continue to gain worldwide fame, and the impact of directors like Ang Lee, Tsui Hark, Wong Kar-wai, and John Woo can be seen throughout Hollywood."--Jacket.
