Breathtaking masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (20 April 2003)

Unlike some of the previous commentators who cannot see the movie but only a hideous fascist prop for "strongest man makes the best ruler, I find this movie to be the best legend of old times in pictures and sound that I have seen for a very long time. As a movie it is simply outstanding!
I was in fact very sceptical about the story before I saw it, but from my point of view it makes beautiful good sense comparing the art of the sword to that of the calligraphic pen and the bottom line being strongly opposed to war and violence while advocating for the power of the mind
