Naked Ambition
This could be one of the most engaging Hong Kong movies I have ever watched. It's not the sensual scenes that attracts. It's not the naked bodies or the concept of porn. But it is the story itself, the power that is embedded in each scene that leads to another. It feels so real, so original. It touches right at that exclusive spot deep inside the heart. Naked Ambition is a story about true friendships, dreams and love.
Starred by Louis Koo and Eason Chan, Naked Ambition is a story about two best friends whom are fired from work because of the down slide economy. Partnering, they decide to start a new magazine - a porn magazine. Both men have girlfriends of their own who are supportive of their new venture. Together, they discover more about the porn industry so that they can push their great magazine idea to the public. As ridiculous as it may be, they succeed and are known as the key players in the porn industry.
As time goes by, things begin to change. Both of them cheated on their girlfriends and have to face the main issue of all - morale. Where do they draw the line between friendship and partnership? Where do they draw the line between love and lust? What about truths and lies? This story tackles all of these and more. And these are the elements that make this story engaging and real, relatable to all of us who have best friends.
I really like the way the storyline unfolds. The scriptwriter crafted the entire concept really well, bringing out the story as a realistic one instead of porn-ish. It tickles your funny bone while making you feel all tears inside. It's a warm story.
