Chivalrous swordsman,China

It is really a mainland movie with a martial arts fan. At that time, the filmmakers were really ambitious. The story was full, the characters were distinct, and they all stood up. It was really not easy. The background of the west is also very dirty and rough. It is very flavorful.

the swiftness of the blade

Quick synopsis: A boy goes to a town to take his betrothed wife and fights outlaws.

Poetic review: A flash of destiny races across time through the slice of the blade. He meets his destiny with sustained ambivalence.

Extra: I saw this when i was 6 or 7 in China in 1991. I've been searching for it on and off until today. Two images stuck in my mind when i saw this as a kid: how fast the boy's swords where and the aftermath after the last duel. Also the clicking sound of the boy's swords make.

The action is not drawn out step by step but fast. When you watch it, you might think the action is too quick, but that is exactly why it is so good and why i like it so much.

The movie would've been perfect if it was able to add more romance and a good song.

Captivating tale

This film from mainland China tells of the story of a young boy and his journey. This one had me so caught up me from beginning to end.

The main theme here is appearances. Life in life, not everything is as it seems. The main character Hai Ge goes through a metamorphosis. He seems nervous and unsure about himself, but there's something brave and determined about him that makes him very likeable. As a son of a renowned swordsman, he is quickly dismissed by the townspoeple due to his young age and inexperience. As the story progresses, viewpoints change (as well as my own) and I kept wondering what was going to happen next. Director Ping He's use of pacing creates suspense in the movie and shows you don't haveto rely on gratuitous violence to make a film enjoyable.

The story is simple, but effectively told. The characters are memorable from Hai Ge, the barkeeper, his daughter, and the Lethal Swordsman who gives a great performance and was a great villain (watch that lethal stroke!). The finale is well done and is not necessarily your typical 'happy' ending. Another reason why I liked it.
