Film is forever.
So much so that they became laughable cliches through the years. Well, I'm not gonna do that. Based on a novel by Wang Du Lu, the flick stars Fat as a legendary swordsman who has given his sword to a trusted friend. And god bless each and every one of 'em. I can't recall another recent film that successfully blended so many seemingly disparate elements into a tale that's a rousing adventure at one moment, and a heartwrenching love story in the next.
