Curiosity

It was 3 nights ago when my daughter and I slept late because we watched 2 1/2 hour watching until past 11 pm watching this Chinese movie entitled "Along With The Gods: The Two Worlds."

Story: A firefighter jumped from a tall building to help save the life of a young girl whom he saved from a blazing fire, the building where she lives was on fire. To jump from a building is the last resort and that's what he did. The girl survived but the firefighter did not. The firefighter was taken in custody in limbo maybe that's what you call purgatory and the 3 grim reapers would like to save him from the fires of hell but he must undergo different tests and trials and if he passed  he is allowed to live through the process of reincarnation. However, after passing 2 trials and at the middle of the trials something went wrong, so the head grim reaper went to the other world to find out and learned that the firefighter's brother was accidentally killed by another soldier in a military post. Now that there are two people who were vying to the process the firefighter's life is almost doomed because they also discovered that he tried to kill his own mother and the other brother is a good man. Weird story. Anyway, if you are interested to watch this movie in video you have to read the subtitles on the screen for English translation, otherwise you just have to listen attentively to their dialogues in their native tongue which is Korean language. Heh! It could be Chinese! There are many interesting Chinese and Korean movies however their actors and actresses can't communicate better in English. It's you who will have to adjust.

For whatever reasons those two brothers were devils in disguise by the power bestowed upon them by whom? The 3 grim reapers have to be saved by the 2 brothers who I think were either Cain and Abel. LOL. Changing the story? Why not? My stories are better.

Let me tell you that Chinese languages are available in Fookien, Mandarin, Cantonese. They all are different in many ways such as accent, tone, intonation, spelling, meaning, character and manner of speaking.
