To most of the Spanish people that told us that they use for the first time in the cinema a movie Made in Taiwan, and never rather, it would be we indifferent, it is more, it maybe arrived to some Spanish cinemas of the big cities in those that foreign movies can only be seen in original version.

But now change the script that they tell us that they use for the first time in the cinema a movie nominated to 10 prizes Oscar of the academy of Hollywood. He already goes us interesting, lines in the cinemas to watch this movie, last of the famous managing Ang Lee that directed movies of success like Sense and sensibility and others of less success but supposed commercial tug as The storm of ice. So it is more than probable that without the nominations to the Oscar this movie had gone without any glory by our country, and it is that the Oscar's force is big, the impulse to watch movies nominated first and rewarded later it becomes patent in the box offices of the cinemas of my country.

Do the interpreters go to be not very well-known, maybe those that more Chow Yun Fat for their paper in Ana and the king and Michelle Yeoh for its paper in The tomorrow never dies, but who did he say that for a good movie they were necessary well-known actors? with which they are good excess. For me the interpretation is quite good on the part of the whole allotment, with characters that are not empty and in which we find a different history for each one.

The history is about two histories of love that will be developed along the movie, among majestic views of the imperial China of the antiquity, green and leafy forests and places natural deserts those some and incomparable for its beauty the other ones. The movie can be a weighed little bit if it doesn't go you a lot the topic of the martial arts and the fights, like it is my case, but when you enter to the cinema you already know that you will have to swallow a good dose of this martial arts.

The development of the plot in numerous occasions is slow, and if you go to the session of the dawn as I made I that the movie ended up almost at the four of the dawn, probably listen I eat behind yours there is more than one snoring, and it is not joke.

The argument is good, the atmosphere, in spite of not to be a historian neither to have too many knowledge of life and customs in the old China believes that they are quite well achieved.

One of the moral of the movie to my to understand is the one of not giving up your dreams, to your illusions and aspirations in the life, because if you make it you are probably sorry deeply not in a future very distant. You must fight for your beliefs and convictions and to carry out them with respect toward the other ones but stability for the attainment of the same ones.

In spite of the fact that it leaves of the movie I was made boring, I recognize that it is good, and that the end is quite moving.

That that without a doubt believe that it has more than enough they are the exaggerations that take place during the combats among the warriors that finish flying to the purest style Street Fighter in most of occasions and even in some scenes to the Superman with the included raised fist. One of the clearest examples is given in a persecution by a leafy forest, in which two of the main characters begin to fly being pursued. In short, a foolishness to my to understand, because although there are people that says that the ninjas can fly I sincerely don't believe it to me.

I could extend much more explaining the argument of the movie, but I have believed convenient not to make it since I don't want to disassemble anybody the development of the same one, because during the plot several unexpected surprises are happened around the main characters that he would discover if he explained a little more than what the movie goes.

In conclusion, good movie, something slow, final moving (that which doesn't mean typical) and very exaggerated in their martial fights.

Finally the movie four Oscar, an entire achievement for a production of speech non Englishman achieved.

I think it's great that you're attempting to write reviews on Ciao UK (I tried a similar stunt on Ciao Spain, with minimal success...) Unfortunately, the Translator Programme you're using makes it sound like you learned English from a dictionary, which means your reviews are hard to follow in places. Despite this, it is clear you know what you're on about, so don't be disheartened by poor ratings. See you around, Plissken.
