An Asian Fairy tale
Favorite Movie Quote: "Once you have accepted your destiny, nothing can alter it unless time flows backwards, snow falls in the spring, and the dead come back to life."
After having watched many Chines martial arts film, I was amazed that I could still be thrilled and surprised, but this film did just that.
Writer/director Kaige Chen has put together a film that transcends countries and presents a tale of love and magic in a martial arts dance that is simply spectacular in its visual presentation.
Starring Dong-Kun Jang (Typhoon) as the slave who seeks the princess (Cecilia Cheung) and saves her several times, and Hiroyuki Sanada (The Last Samurai) as the General who is both his boss and his rival.
The magic and cinematography and costuming and music of this film all add together to present a timeless tale that will delight all.
