...thing Bush and Churchill may share. At the times when he was most challenged, and whether he was justified in his sense of self or not (and often he was not), Churchill never knew self-doubt.

...fans hold up flash cards that spell out his name in English; a group of votaries rented a minibus and trailed him from one Taiwan concert to the next. (In return, each year around his birthday, Lau attends parties thrown by his fan clubs.) If fans don't stalk the stars, the insatiable paparazzi do. "They follow me everywhere," says Leslie Cheung.

Koenig is always one step ahead of Vassily, and in scene after nail-biting scene, the two men stalk each other amidst the ruins of the city. The secondary plot beyond this duel is a romance. Rachel Weisz plays Tania, the woman who must choose between our two young Russian heroes. Her decision seems simple at first she should pick the handsome and famous hero who kills people over...
