  May Choon Says: I never thought I’d see the day that Fann Wong would be named Best Actress… outside of Caldecott Hill, that is.

  Yet, it has happened. The good people behind the inaugural West Hollywood International Film Festival (WHIFF) have bestowed this honour on the Singaporean lass for her role as a ballroom dancing instructor grappling with love in the Singapore-produced movie Dance Of The Dragon.

  That’s not all. Dance Of The Dragon swept 10 major awards, including Best Festival Movie, Best Director (John Radel), Best Actor (Jang Hyuk) and The Special Mention Jury Award.

  Too bad the festival itself hardly made ripples in Hollywood, where it is based. The four-day festival had no mentions in the wire agencies or newspapers. And it’s panel of judges - made up of names in American TV shows - draw a blank.

  Besides, if you’ll remember, Dance Of The Dragon definitely did not rank as one of our better-made exports. It bombed at the box office, raking in only $170,000, and was slammed by most local critics.

  Wonder if the guys at WHIFF got whiff of that.

   

  ===================================

  To start off, the questions should not be, “Are you not surprised that Dance Of The Dragon (DOTD) won so many US accolades?” and “Do you think it deserves to?”. But rather, “Do you know what is the West Hollywood International Film Festival (WHIFF)?” I obviously didn’t.

  While I’m sure many people are wowed by the title of the festival. But does having “Hollywood” and “International” mean anything? Would you be equally wowed if DOTD swept all of the awards at the Djibouti International Film Festival? A quick search using the popular search engine, Google, turned up 383,000 results with the WHIFF website at the top. But the website didn’t give one of the most important information that is what movies took part in the WHIFF. Would you be surprise if DOTD won because it was stacked up against even worse international film? The rest of the websites didn’t help much to enlighten me either. A search on Wikipedia turned up absolutely nothing. If Wikipedia was anything to go by, it just goes on to show how unknown the WHIFF is. And Wikipedia do have alot of information on even the most obscure of things.

  I really do hope someone would come out and enlighten me on the WHIFF. Because as of now, it bring to my mind those dubious reviews and quotes B-Grade movies almost always put of their movie ads. e.g. “5 Stars! - A Movie Critic”. “Arguably the best action flick of 2007 - B Movie Critic”. The only difference now is that DOTD can put a legit WHIFF logo with the caption “10 WHIFF award winner!” on their DVD cover.

  If my reviews are anything to go by: Dance of the Dragon! Absolute crap! - J Movie Critic

  Dance of the Dragon was supported fervently by the Singapore Tourism Board. STB lent a hand to the production because the film was shot entirely in Singapore, showcasing many of our famous sightseeing locations.

  As I had an American friend over at that period, I thought it would be apt to bring him to the show. The cast could be considered experienced and as close to A list as possible for a local production.

  Do remember that Fann Wong acted alongside Jackie Chan and Jason Scott Lee is famous for his performances in Timecop2 and the Jungle Book among other hollywood entertainers. My friend Brian certainly recognized both of them though he could not quite recall their names.

  Personally I thought it was another measured performance by the experienced trio, however their acting were hampered by the slow and meandering story development. Perhaps the focus of the film was on the the intricacies of ballroom dancing.

  The directors also explored the web of relationships with much sensitivity and artistry. That of course would not sit well with the movie-goers because we are afterall not reviews or connoiseurs of films, we are after the visuals and a relaxing time.

  In this fast paced society, an epic must contain stunning CG effects, grandiose outdoor shoots, some disturbingly scenes and impactful acting.

  In terms of outdoor shoots, DOTD have Cityhall, Clarke Quay and Robinson Road. Compare that to Nardia or Lord of the Rings, where the majestic nature of the New Zealand plains were shown in full bloom. DOTD was always going to lose out in terms of that yet to a Singaporean, these scenes still filled me with pride and a sense of familiarity. Other Singaporeans might not be able to dissociate Fann Wong with television and since they could watch her on TV at 9pm, why pay 8 to 10 bucks just to see her gyrate with a korean or ABC?

  JAng Hyuk is an aspiring dance student who taught himself by imitating videotape dancers, protrayed the transition of a novice shaker to an accomplished dancefloor exponent with ease. Fann Wong too could fool us into thinking she has had professional training as a ballerina. Their on screen chemistry deserves a mention.

  Together they waltz to the tune of the movie and Jason Scott’s fiery attempt to thwart both of them adds a new sizzling dimension to the show sometimes. As the producers attempt to spin the complex web of relationships between the characters, you wonder if they were overdoing it. Sometimes we are just satisfied with boy A meets girl, B turns out to be a bad apple and girl happily absconds with A. Something like that.

  Movies with “what ifs” and complicated choices do not do well at box offices. Morality and mirrors of reality do well in books and essays. They may win you critics but not box office success. So it is not surprising that the Inaugural West Hollywood International Film festival bestowed upon the film so many accolades. These people are the ones who try to understand the movie and not the ones who just watch a movie.

  In DOTD we have a nice ethnic mix of singaporean, American chinese and Korean set in an urban Asian city. The theme of ballroom dancing may not be new and retired dancing champions even staler but the producers injected adrenaline into this subject by throwing in bits and pieces of martial arts along the way. The land of revolution is feverished with martial arts craze and anything asian. They seemingly will lap up ballroom dancing if it is wrapped with an asian skin. Also due to the economic downturn, there were not many outstanding Asian movies recently, DOTD made its debut at the festival at a correct time.

  There are many films which did not garner blockbuster status but did well at film festivals. Wong Kar Wai’s In the Mood of Love did well overseas with the judges, so did other lesser known China movies like JIang Cheng Xia Ri. Of course it would be a greater honor if DOTD could win awards at the Cannes Film Festival but lets be proud of our Singaporean production which has taken on a cosmopolitan feel and did well on the international stage.
