Review- House of Flying Daggers
Today i went to see House of Flying Daggers. Now first off this movie kicks ass. I just need to get this out now, because you should go see this movie. Now the name and the trailer have a slight slant. They make the film out to be a action packed ball busting ninja film. After seeing the movie you like a lot of other will walk out knowing that it is really a beatuiful love story that just happens to feature kick ass flying daggers.
House of Flying Daggers is a story of a young blind girl (Ziyi Zhang) who is a dancer in a brothel. Now this house of pleasure isn't really a brothel but more a gentlemens club of the past. Now this blind girl is tricked by a local police deputies because she is believe to be the lost daughter of the dead leader of the group the House of Flying Daggers. Mei the blind girl and Wind (Takeshi Kaneshiro) the police deputies that is in disguise leave on a journey to find the House of Flying Daggers but the adventure they have could not have been guessed by either of them.
My favourite thing about this movie is Mei who is played by the very excellent Ziyi Zhang. Not only is she very hot but she can act and fight even with no prior training. I have not been disapointed with any of her movies that i have seen. She was amazing in Hero and in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. In this movie i must say that she plays an excellent blind girl.
House of Flying Daggers is the follow from the film Hero by the director Yimou Zhang. His fights scenes are just as perfect as they were in Hero. They just make me want to get up in the cinema and start a sword fight. This time the action is stepped up with the inclusion of the daggers which are something to behold. Along with the fight scenes Yimou Zhang is now famous for his stunning backdrops. He uses lots of strong colours and they make this film like Hero stand out from the rest of the current action films. Go see this movie!!!
