I just watched this movie... I have a friend who had a subtitled version of this movie and I must say I am very fortunate to have witnessed this masterpiece..
the acting is top notch and the storyline and the underlying meaning of the movie will touch you @ the end...
undoubtedly there are many scenes of martial arts a la crouching tiger/hidden dragon but not quite as stylized and over-the-top... and they all have a sense of belonging within the story-line...
the characters are brilliantly fleshed out, telling more would give away parts of the story which is the main high-light of this film... it keeps things flowing along smoothly till the end...
I have not seen many chinese movies... not more than perhaps 10 but this is the best I have witnessed... crouching tiger was a good movie too but to me this movie just means more because ALL the characters were well fleshed out.. in crouching tiger other than the 3 main characters everyone else was redundant... here there are more central characters and each one holds their own...
when quentin tarantino brings this movie to the states I highly recommend those of you who wish to be entertained and have your thoughts provoked to give this movie a dekko...
highly recommended...
4.5/5 OSNN stars...
