I absolulty love the film, it is my best film at the moment, i now am a big fan of Zhang Yimou's work, all his films i have bought of i am buying, i think his style of filming is great and the picture/colour in his films is great.

I am also a big fan of Ziyi Zhang now, i have watched so many films with her in, she is the best actress ever!
The film is very well put together, not much more you can expect from a Zhang Yimou film.

I have to say i love films more when there in there mother tongue, with house of flying daggers i think its adds effect and emotion because it is in Japanese, i would hate to see a english dubbed version of it, they are cheap and nasty.

Will.

Well atleast we could see and understand at the same time

I thought this was an awesome movie.. storyline, fight scenes, cinematography..it was all very beautiful. I loved the colors and the use of them in fight scenes. It was classic Chinese tragedy.

I think the bad guy's Leo. And the point of the film is.. well I don't know! It's a nice film though. I think it's an artistic type of film.

The point of the film? It is basically Jin, (Takeshi Kaneshiros character) is trying to get the blind girl (Zhang Ziyi) to lead him to the House of flying daggers new leader. The killed the old leader, the government has been tracking them for a long time, and they want to end the rebels who defy the laws. But actually, The guy Leo, (Andy Lau) who is the captain of the guard in the city, works for the flying daggers and has been playing the government for 3 years, he sent Jin on a false mission, Jin is also captain of the guard. So Mei was sent and pretended to be the leader's blind daughter to catch Jin from interfering, and to eliminate suspiscion of their whereabouts. As they travel the days through the wilderness Mei develops feelings for Jin, she betrays Leo's love, and the rest I am sure you get. The movie has a simple plot really.

This movie was so tragic and beautifully done... i must admit that I wept like an infant at the end " If she gets up I'll be sooo pissed!" *winks at Kanji*
