To all those who are not Chinese

Rating: Null/10 (11 October 2004)

It's hard to understand this movie if you are not Chinese. A lot of the ideas in the movie is based on a cultural understanding. For instance, Zhang Ziyi fought her mistress because her mistress killed her master, and since Zhang has a unexplainable yet deep "love" for her master (it's not the love as in a romantic movie, it's similar to the love from a mother to her children, the kind of love that is developed after year, that doesn't require payback), she feels obligated to avenge her master. Some other things in the movie is hard to understand as well, but as I said, they all have a rational explanation. Must have 10 lines.
