My moste favourite film I have ever seen is "house of the flying daggers".
The film is set in the 15th century and tells about the war between the tribes in China. It's a fantastic action drama about war, love and friendship. The film was set up by the most famouse chinese director (but don't ask me for his name). Also the film "hero" was made by him.
Actually I don't know the names of the actors but each one of them was playing phenomenously. The scenes in the film are just beautiful. The colours are so intensive. For example the green of the trees, the brown of the wood , the yellow and red of the sunrise or the thousands of different red and brown levels of the leaves, that you just wish to get there in a second.
The camera team have really done a great job, when they tried to catch the falling leaves or a waterdrop falling in the sea. It's just good relaxation for your soul when you see the beautiful nature of China out of that perspective.
But it's not only a film about nature. Mainly the film is known because of its fighting scenes. But the scenes arn't as in hollywood productions, where thousands of people are dying and loosing their legs or arms. For those film you just can say it's art when you see how two people are fighting against each other, and the fight is just becoming an impressing dance. The costumes are wonderful. The brightness of the colours and the lot of silk in red, orange and yellow, green and blue are just impressing.
In the plot of "house of the flying daggers" there is also a romance. The problem of the romance is, that he's fighting for the chinese regime and she's fighting for a tribe against the regime. As you can imagine there can't be an happy ending. Both get killed by her husband who was as a spion for the tribe and also a friend of his wife's lover.
What I love about this film is that there are nearly no special effects. The cheographies for the fights you see are based on the fight sports of judo, karate and kung fu. All the actors had a training in those sports or allready knew them.
the music in the film is just fantastic and moving, that I just start crying when I listen to the soundtrack.
My opinion about that film is, that it's just great. Everybody will love it. It dosn't matter if they like fights, nature, love or if they don't like it. But if you are sitting in the cinema, you will just grapping the hand of your neighbour sitting next to you because you will be so thrilled.
"House of the flying daggers" is the only film a can watch for ever.
