It is well known that 'Miracles' is one of Jackie Chan's favourite
movies, mainly due to the artistic freedom he got to make it.
We're all accustomed to Jackie Chan movies in the style of the
high octane martial arts action thriller, but up until this production
Jackie had little chance to show off his cinematographic skills,
often criticised for being very one-dimensional in his movie
making. 'Miracles' was the answer to all that.
Having secured the largest budget in HK movie history for this film
(which was yet still extremely modest by Hollywood standards),
Miracles was produced slightly differently from HK films we're
used to. The result was a lavish set with excellent costumes, and
most of all, flowing, extravagant shots throughout the film.
Unfortunately though, the storyline is a bit weak.
This is certainly not the traditional Jackie Chan movie we're used
to, but it is nice to see Jackie show off some of his other skills in
movie making, and that he's not just an all-action hero.
