ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!

Rating: Null/10 (7 September 2004)

Amazing, unique, and stunningly beautiful.
If you love films like Ju-Dou or Crouching Tiger-Hidden Dragon, you'll be blown away at the kaleidoscopic beauty & genius of this film.
There are various action sequences & stunts that are completely magical-- woven tightly into the fantasy of the tale, yet realistic enough to feel believable.
The evolving story is mysterious, colorful, emotional, and compelling-- told through several different perspectives with symbols that reveal their meaning over time.
Jet Li's character's conversation with the Qin Warlord King reveals conflicting versions of the truth through interrogation, analysis, debate, accusation, philosophy, confession & self sacrifice for higher ideals motivated by love of humanity.
The films's overall message is gorgeous.
10 out of 10!!
