Review of The Trip (2011) by Qi Z — 18 Dec 2013
How men relate to each other? Even among the best of friends, there are strange ritualistic way to communicate. This is a funny and witty film, a cartoonish narrative of two friends on a trip. Best part is the Abba song and the recitation of Shakespeare speeches on "leave at first light" --.
Steve: To bed, for we rise at daybreak!
Rob: Very good. Very impressive.
Steve: But they always, they always leave at daybreak. They never leave at, you know, nine-thirty. "Gentlemen to bed, for we leave at nine-thirty!".
Rob: Ish.
Steve: Ish. "Gentlemen to bed, for we rise at... What time is the battle? About, oh, twelve o'clock? Twelve o'clock. How is it on horseback, about three hours? So we leave about eight, eight-thirty?".
Rob: Eight-thirty for nine.
Steve: "Gentlemen, to bed! For we leave at eight-thirty for nine. And we rise at just after daybreak. Seven-thirty, so just after daybreak. Gentlemen to bed, for we leave at nine-thirty on the dot. On the dot.".
