I think this is quite a good movie although there's a bit changes from the novel. The tree devil should be a lady but it has become a drag queen in this movie, lolz~ and summore, the style which she sucks "Qi" with her long tongue is different also. Overall, its nice :) Love leslie cheung at that time, cute... and Joey is sexy~
