An excellent display of visual art and storyline

Rating: 6/10 (24 July 2005)

This movie is one example of movies when at it's best. The director, who also directed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon has once again created a movie with spectacular visuals and a plot that gives Hollywood a bad name. Although the plot is complex at times, it's almost impossible to not to be impressed. This movie is a masterpiece all the way. The actors does a great job, Jet Li is not known for being a great actor but in this movie he stands out, and so does the whole cast. The storyline is in fact very romantic and it contains a big deal of emotion such as jealousy and hatred. So with all those features combined with each other and a soundtrack with one of the best orchestras in China, what do you get? Do not be afraid to see it just because it's in Chinese I promise you, you won't regret seeing it.
