A TRAGIC BITTERSWEET LOVE STORY

Rating: Null/10 (23 December 2000)

Some films make you think, some make you laugh, this film makes you escape. The film is in subtitles but dont let this annoy you, the story moves at a medium pace but its interesting, there's something very new and rewarding about this picture you don't see in american films I'm sorry to say. There is a stolen sword called the Green Destiny over 400 yrs old, belonging to a wise master. The thief is the one fragile sword goddess about to married but when her caravan is ambushed, life changes completely. Possesing mind-gravity bending knoledge of a secret fighting sect the lead characters float, levitate and the hand to hand combat is amazing. Remember how when you saw the Matrix everyone cheered and applauded after killer scenes? At the Regent Showcase last night the whole audience was in awe. I know I was. Keep a keen eye on the architecture, the costume, the hair style, the city of Peking and the beautiful landscapes. Last night I did not go to the movies I went to China 800 hundred years ago.
