If you haven't seen 大腕 (da4 wan4 = big wrist), you should go and buy it right now. It's a great movie.

In English, the movie is called "The Big Shot's Funeral". 大腕 is a colloquialism in Mandarin that means "big shot".

I love the cast of this movie:

Donald Sutherland is awesome because his name in Mandarin is pronounced tang2 na4 de2 sa4 se4 lan2. Go ahead and say it... it's fun!! And it really sounds like "Donald Sutherland." Donald Sutherland is also amazing because he gave birth to Jack Bauer.

Rosamund Kwan is breathtaking.

葛优 [ge1 you2] is great.
