One of the saddest love story

Rating: 9/10 (7 February 2013)

One of the few movies that I've seen that successfully weaved action with a heartbreaking love story.
I first saw the movie when it first came out and the movie was heralded for the amazing martial arts which was phenomenal. But I believe that it was the love story between the main characters and how it unfolded so tragically in the end that made it such a success to audiences around the world.
Ang Lee and his team did a wonderful job in subjugating the viewers with adrenalin pumping action in the struggle between good and evil while at the same time slowly and quietly reminding the audience that the real battle was the struggle of the heart. The audience realizing the fact towards the end of the film when all the characters suffered a broken heart including the villain. Its such a tragic movie.
I highly recommend this movie for the action but most of all for the love story.
