Destined to be a classic

Rating: Null/10 (6 February 2001)

I would never have expected, at any time, to ever be able to get through a movie that was fully subtitled. Don't get me wrong there are great movies from other countries, that obviously would have to be subtitled for me to understand them, but I have never been able to really get into one.
This movie was an enormous exception, to that rule. the only reason I went to see this movie was because of all of the hype going on about it. I also new that I really like the way Chow Yun Fat portrays characters.
This movie is destined to become a classic. I have seen many a martial arts movie with people flying through the air and various choreographed fight scenes, but this movie had some depth added to all of the fantasy.
There are few movies that I want to own, but this will be one of them. It is so easy, nowadays, to just rent movies, that I will only buy those movies that really move me. Well this movie will definitely brighten me shelf.
Those of you who can't get past the subtitles and the fantasy, must not be real movie connisseurs.
