Beautiful movie

Rating: 10/10 (2 February 2001)

This beautiful movie is the essence of Chinese martial arts. If you expect a realistic fist fight, better watch the mainstream Kung Fu stuff. This here is in the tradition of A touch of Zen with people flying or running up walls. Some people are irritated by this and there was lots of annoying laughter in the audience. Remarkable that the same people do not laugh when Mel Gibson flies with his car from house to house, or Tom Cruise flies from a train to a helicopter and back in the channel tunnel. Take it as an inspiring trip through China, relax, enjoy the language, the music by Yo Yo Ma and the grand cinematography. I hope there will be other movies like this in the future. 10 Points from me.
