This is essentially Romeo & Juliet within an upper class setting in Asia cultures. A bright and youthful couple are on the path toward marriage. However, the girlfriend has never met the guy's parents as he has kept it on the downlow since his family is hyper wealthy. They head back to his homeland for his best friend's wedding and will ultimately meet his parents. Once this happens and they realize she has her own personal ambitions and doesn't meet their historical and cultural expectations of a wife, thus strife ensues between his family and her. This drama unfolds around very ritzy events, so the film has glamorous scenes and the editing does compliment the that nicely. Fun movie with good acting, solid story and ultimately a predictable outcome.

I never knew "Airplane" used any movie as a basis for their hilarious comedy. It really doesn't kick in until they get into the air but it really follows the story almost scene for scene. "Airport" is a no-nonsense film that handles a web of airline related storylines that culminate as danger strikes in the sky. Characters from pilots, to ground control, stewardesses to ticket agents show how much work they do beyond the expected. There is more drama in this film than an entire season of "Wings". This was a quickly paced and serious film that had a slew of characters with their own specific life issues. An interesting viewing know what comedy is spawned.

I rewatched this after 20+ years having a hankering to hear Bale's character over-analyze 80s pop artists in an amusing manner. This film gets more complex the deeper the story unravels. As to no surprise, Bale plays a serial killer who lives the high life while completely pampering himself, drinking with buddies in his sphere, sleeping with escorts and oh yah, murdering random people at random times. What compels him to do this? That is the underlying question. He sort of seeks help for his mental state but no one will truly hear him. Will he ever stop? The dialog in this film was strange and intriguing and the scenes were striking as well as uncomfortable. This is one character you may never forget.
