THE PROMISE PARODY VIDEO

Chinese bloggers like nothing better than stabbing Chen Kaige's THE PROMISE with their sharp tongues again and again and again, but now they're taking a brief break to apply moisturizer and the parodies have begun.

The stills to the right are examples from one blog that suggests Chen Kaige's movie is nothing more than an advertisement for China's Five Friendlies, the 2008 Beijing Olympics mascots.

Then there's this link to Massage Milk where a 20 minute re-edited parody video of THE PROMISE, entitled THE BLOODY CASE THAT STARTED FROM A STEAMED BUN lives. I can't get it to work, but that shouldn't be a problem for the more technically savvy among you - and I know you're out there.

And don't miss Roland Soong's English translation of THE BLOODY CASE THAT STARTED FROM A STEAMED BUN as well as his links to other PROMISE parodies.
