A Kaleidoscopic Beauty...

Seldom will you find, such beauty unrefined, a multi-coloured canvas, seductive elegance with prowess, that caresses like a breeze, a wind that sails throughout the trees, soaring high, gliding along, the ever changing seasons song.As visually spectacular a piece of filmmaking that you're ever likely to come across, with some outstanding scenes choreographed to perfection, the acting and performances in perfect tune with the surroundings, all centred around deception, deceit and devotion, leaves a film that perpetually stands the test of time and nails a dagger to your heart each and every time you return.

Excellent

I know this film was slightly lost in the shuffle of Hero and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, but it is no less of a film than those masterpieces. The acting is good, the story is interesting, the effects are breathtaking and the chinawomen are clean and attractive. No American tattooed chubsters here!
