"House of Flying Daggers"

Edited on Tue Dec-14-04 07:58 AM by lazarus

Wow, this looks incredible. I saw a short trailer at Ocean's 12 last week, but this is the long version:

Just astounding. I love wuxia (spelling?) film making. Just love it.

2. The extended ad is even better

The short teaser I saw in the theatre was good, but the long version is astounding.

This looks to be even more beautiful than Hero, which I didn't think was possible.

5. Hero just blew me away

The fight in the rain, the love story, everything.

Just beautiful.

And they kept the subtitles! Hooray! I despise dubbing. Just despise it.

6. oh god, yes, that fight in the rain!! WOW. and the use of a single

instrument to choreograph the fight sequences was amazing. my husband is usually not a fan of these movies but even he was blown away by Hero. I'm glad they didn't dub it as well. It always comes off so cheesy and very distracting to me.

7. I had forgotten the instrument

That was astounding choreography. Astounding film making altogether. I was just blown away by every bit of it.

I'm getting chills thinking about it.

8. "Daggers" is easily the best movie of the year. Very lush. Seems like the

script was written by Shakespeare. I saw it last week in NYC. "Hero" was very good, but I liked "Daggers" quite a bit more. A near-perfect film.
