		Chinese would need to be simultaneously more constant and more flexible in order for the rest of the world to consider its "universal" merits.

	Hong Kong Film Festival (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-23)
		Corruption and rectitude are all too straightforward in Billy Tang's Chinese Midnight Express (1997), as is its blatant ripoff of the Alan Parker movie implied in the title.
		After a few run-ins with horny triad bosses in the shower and a sadistic guard called "The Inhuman," Chin and his fellow inmates recognize one another's mutual humanity and overcome the system in a collaboration of the pen and the penitentiary.
		Its clichés and sentimentality enlivened only by its distastefulness, Express is the kind of rote, sub-Hollywood rubbish that's symptomatic of a dying cinema.

	Metroactive Movies \| Chungking Express
		If lured to Chungking Express by the dashing title, the hardcore stunt freaks will end up in the same position as the boxing fans in The Magic Christian who are outraged by the pugilists kissing in the ring--and sickened by the lack of blood.
		In the second section, #663, dropped by his stewardess girlfriend, is somehow immune to the appeal of the counter-girl (Faye Wang) at the Midnight Express; when she gets a hold of his apartment keys, she starts using 663's apartment as a sort of second home--cleaning up, leaving him presents and inadvertently flooding the place.
		When Chungking Express starts to falter, the mulling over the principle that "fate rules the universe" become too obvious--this idea is as mulled-out at this point as "love rules the universe." Even so, Wai's movie has a sleek, original look.

		While organisations like the College of Military Engineering (CME) had the men in uniform letting their hair down to the tunes of the Jetset band through the night, midnight mass was the traditional way to usher in Christmas for all the devout.
		Mass was preceded by enthusiastic carol singing and towards midnight the strains of `Silent Night, Holy Night' wafted over the city.

		The story at first does not sound like it will have a happy outcome- Hayes (Davis, a shattering, torn performance) tries to smuggle Hash for friends back on long island, gets caught, and is thrown in jail 'as an example' among others in a Turkish prison.
		The thing to keep in mind in dealing with a film like Midnight Express, is that in cinematic terms, Parker and Stone pull off their goals whether or not they depict the 'truth' to its fullest extent.
		But besides that, Midnight Express is overall a work of concentrated drama, that tries to not affect just the American collective conscious, but the world's as well.
