The end let me with a bad taste

Rating: 9/10 (21 March 2005)

This movie is awesome. Everithing, the landscapes, the struggles, show us something very different that we are used to watch in occidental filmmakers. Even if it's considered a "commercial movie", shows us a little part of the oriental spirituality expressed as calm and beauty, just by the rhythm that the movie shows and the harmony between all it's elements.
However, the final part, beside I found it disappointing, I think it's offensive for the viewers of this piece of art. It's like the Commmunist Party wanted to take advantage of the film an ends it with a pathetic message of the "Union of a great Nation", which is everything an official lie and a way to justify the sacrifice of millions of people towards the construction of a "Modern China".
