a good movie containing something real Chinese.

Rating: 8/10 (24 August 2006)

An Lee is a good director, not a master. This movie is good, but a long way to perfect. Zhang Ziyi is much better than I thought. Zhou Runfa and Yang are a little older. I don't know why, but be not satisfied with Zhou's performance. Maybe I treat this famous movie star too rigorous. I can not summarize what Lee want to say in this movie.
But there is some Chinese spirit. Music is characteristic, I like it. If the actions are more realistic, this movie will be much better.If the actions are more realistic, this movie will be much better.If the actions are more realistic, this movie will be much better.If the actions are more realistic, this movie will be much better.(I'm sorry, but I just couldn't say 10 lines words, forgive me for that:) )
