if you like martial arts films this is the one you must
see!
jet li in lead role...

story is happening 200 B.C. when there were several kingdoms
in china and they were all in war... the story focuses on
four murdurers who are suposed to eliminate the king who is
trying to join china into one kingdom

the photography/camera is beautiful, with all those calssic
elements in martial arts films - much alike crouching tiger,
hidden dragon

highly recomended!

damn, it feels like i've been waiting years to see this
film!! It has some of my favourite actors in it, Maggie
Cheung, Tony Leung, Zhang Ziyi, and Zhang Yimou is an
excelent director too... how could it not be excelent?

Not sure when its out over here, maybe it will go straight
to DVD?

i've seen seven samurai and its one i'll be getting soon on
dvd.

i wouldn't buy a film just because an actress is in it, musa
sound really good from the few reviews i've read

2046 is the new film from wong kar wai. Its kind of a sequel
to 'In the mood for love' (one of the best films i've seen)

ive seen trailers on web - looking good , but im a little
affraid - americans can put their national flag almost
everywhere amd this film is the last thing that needs this .

about Kurosawa - his films are my favourite. i have all of
them , watching for the 10000000000 time every wek and
everyone of them - theres nothing better.
although i like new technology too :)

i just like a lot of asian films in general, chinese,
japanese, whatever... they all produce some amazing films,
chinese cinamatography is amazing though. I've never seen a
film look as good as 'In the mood for love.

like an interesting time period + great cinematography.

If your interested in that time period and have a
PSOne/PS2/PC/Saturn/etc. I suggest you try and get your
hands on some 'Romance of the 3 Kingdoms' games.

Here's a link to a review of the newest one: Romance

i order via web...its illegal ofcourse so they're pretty
cautious, but very reliable...but i could get it for free if
i'd bother, apperantly you can get all this films on the web
(i think on sharereactor) as my buddy downloaded all this
films already...anyway its only 1,5 EUR/piece so i rather
just order it cos im to lazy to look on the internet myself,
or burn a copy from my buddy :)
