@wussupdooder It's based on a real style, something I know you wouldn't have heard of anyway. I am aware of the special tricks and effects employed in wuxia film, but you probably can't appreciate that and insist on the artless realm of UFC, so piss off.
3:14 I often wondered if that was part of the curse, or reason people can be corrupted by using that sword. Since it's indestructable, the consistant vibration can rattle the users brain, and cause some psychological issues.
@mllenakia1 i actually rly <333 azns. especially pretty ones. and super especially the ones that can fly :) i just wish somebody would explain to me this flying away phenomena so i can sleep at night.
If you listen to a conversation her and Zhang's characters have near the beginning of the movie, Shu Lien says something like - "I'm not very good at using a straight sword" - so the fact that the girl's pissed her off so much, she resorts to using something she's not good with ... and still WHOOPS HER ASS, just makes me go - Oooooooohhh.
@gomez0119 Because they are very patient and are non agressive when it comes to learning their own form of art. They created martial arts and that is why they are very good at it. They study and practice for years, like here in america we love art forms like painting, drawing, theatre, and dancing. They perform at high levels and the beauty of it is substantial. Thus making it a high quality and an interest to everyone. They are people of nobility and their fighting skills are proof of that.
@gomez0119 because theres 1 billion of them, and odds are, a select few will own at something. Plus they have good gene pool and a culture of hardwork and dedication.
Such a shame about Zhang Ziyi, that display of lack of decency on the beach with that Warner Bros. kike. Marrying for money. Total loss of respect for her... :(
@Rumblingsauce I like it too, it's Yiddish for "circle". The story of Jewish arrogance even upon arrival to a foriegn land. When asked by immigration to mark their name with an "x" denoting their arrival to Ellis Island, they refused because they "x" resembled a cross. A tolerant people indead. As for ZZ she is a public figure whom is a figure head of upstanding Chiese culture and arts. When she acts with such disregard, it's heartbreaking. "It's her life"... The American only knows "self".
@lileichmann So, she was on the beach with "that Warner Bros. 'circle'"? As for the "American only knows self" deal, it is you who disagree with what she does. It is your thoughts that show her as having a lack of decency. You try to push your own ideas of what is and what is not decent the same way I disagree with your statement. I don't believe she lacked decency. They are opinions. You want her to act the way you feel is right, and I want her to act the way I feel is right.
@Rumblingsauce ...it was a public beach and he had his face in her ass. I didn't "push" anything onto anyone, I simply made a comment... when was there ever force envolved? It doesn't matter what either one of us think, there is a certain standard that all the world holds and having your "lovers" face in your ass on a public beach is accepted as (leud conduct). Your logic is not even rational, i.e. "decency is only a matter of an individuals opinion"? Go play some hippy jamband BS and fuck off.
@lileichmann kike's and hippies. You sure do like throwing names out. I will go play my hippy jamband BS. Celebs aren't society. They are the minority of society who makes more money than most people. Yet, they are actors and should be the figure heads of their society? I feel bad for anyone who looks at America's actors and judges its entire people and culture off them. They certainly don't represent me or the friends I know. Sorry if I offended you but I just disagree with your statement.
Celebrities endorse products, social groups, and systems of thought. If you don't think that Americans or any other nationality don't emulate what is seen on TV and in magazines, than you are very foolish. The Britney Spears', Paris Hiltons' Michael Jordans' etc of society are looked to as role models, as pitiful as it may seem. And to say that is not the case is completely obsurd. We judge companies by their product so should we judge a country by it's product. A tree is known by its fruit.
judging by how their hair moves in the final part of the fight, I think they recorded it really slowly and then sped it up with a voice over and sound effects put on afterwards.
lol people arguing over whether 'dao' means knife or sabre. context, folks, context. nobody's talking about kitchen knives here. you don't go to a river bank to take a loan do you....
@SilentBat how would you know ? how come asia has the biggest population of all continents ? Have you seen every asian fucking another to say that ? Stop being so stereotypical.
@MrGeneralKenobi Do you have valid source of information to say that ? I'm pretty sure they don't fuck to populate the country, there's a lot of reasons for someone to have sex. You're not even sure if all asians have small dicks. Also, if you're smart enough, you'd know that the length don't matter, it's the thickness. How would you know anything ? I'm guessing you also believe in nonsense like "white people can't rap" or "black people can't swim." Your statement is filled with assumptions.
@adrianlindsaylohan Whoah calm down bro. Fighting over the internet isn't gud for your ego. As I have no interest in this nerdy debate ima just drift to another video.....have fun !
@MrGeneralKenobi Yeah, you have no interest in this debate 'cause you know you can't win. So just drift to another video, avoid the loosing argument, pretend like you don't care, very mature. Next time you wanna inform someone about something, make sure you actually know what you're talking about.
So the message of this film is, if you strive all your life to perfect an art and become a true warrior then you die a horrible painful death and are never happy, but if you steal peoples shit and fuck around with people in the desert getting laid you get happiness? Nice message there.
@NanaTheDwarf I think she did win because she has the broken sword to Jen's throat. And later on Shu Lien explains to her housekeeper that she didn't kill Jen cause she just didn't have the heart to. But man does she have amazing skills and with all those weapons!
I know this is random, but the first time I watched Toilet light(which I hated) and I saw the main characters climbing trees the way the did, I thought of the scenes of this master peice. had me going....you know it be cool if they just said fuck the love story and busted out epic kung fu fights with swords and arrows in the Forrest, it would the movie a little more tolerable....plus it be the only time Id accept westerners using wire fu and asian martail art weapons...it works in fantasy..
MMA is mixed rodeo clowns and the only reason people dont fight like this unless they have to is because of all the damage you can sustain by the time you're 40.
@maxlr812 Michelle Yeoh character by far is better. She's a legend in the film and has many more years of experience. As you said the only reason the other girl is any good is because of the sword she's using.
@StinkyGreenBud And then you confused them, talking about Zhang Ziyi's character rather than the actor herself. She's just as good as Michelle Yeoh and it shows. It has nothing to do with the sword she's using, that's a plot point, not an actor's flaw. Like I said, you're confusing them.
Yes! Thank you Quentin. Finally, female action movie characters who kick ass while fully and conservatively clothed. Don't get me wrong, I love Tomb Raider and Charlie's Angels, but the wardrobe in those films (or rather, lack of) were RIDIC.
This scene should have over 2 million views. Awesome for: fight design, cinemaography, and furthering the narratives of these strong women characters. I always wondered how this film was received by female audiences in different countries and cultures. When it came out here in the US, I just remember people going on about the wire work, and some complaining about CYF's character, calling him soft [duh, not a HK shoot-em-up]. I'm a guy, and think that this was really a female driven film. A+
Wonderful, kinetic attention to detail in this scene-- it's all magic and make-believe, but fantasy destruction rarely feels so real and physical in movies these days.
@jingwu42 Ok, actually first off the weapon she's using at the start is a chinise sabre, or dao, as it's known.
Secondly, look at the scene where she picks it up and it is quite clearly one sword. Not even one that splits into two. The handle isn't wide enough to be two swords, and if it were then there's no way she could have weilded it. and note the ONE blade at 0:38.
Now have proper go at explaining where that second sword comes from and don't waste my time.
@lerriano actually.. the common american term for 2 swords of her variety would be a double broad sword, Dao means knife not saber, the term for this sword in chinese would be Shuang dao look it up , second of all this is called a movie,..ever heard of one? this dose not even take place in ancient china, can you believe it? with these new facts in your brain, you should know anything is able to happen in them with out explanation, so,..this is not a waste of time because you asked,..
@lerriano Dao is chinese for "knife", though Dao in kung fu films most often refers to a machete like weapons. Jian means "sword", and in kung fu most often refers to the straight, double edged Green Destiny style swords.
@RusconiDom Smoking-hot-Chinese-babe. I'm not sure, exactly. zii yee rhymes with me and jhang rhymes with Hong Kong. In proper form Chinese surnames are first so its Zhang Ziyi. But friends and family would call her Ziyi. I'd call her Soda pop as in 'What's hot, Soda pop?' Then she would say 'Wo' and touch her butt and make a sizzle sound. :-)
One thing about this Chinese spear business we see in all these Wushu movies were they weave and bob around the spear thrusts - just stick it in their abdomen, right in the seika tanden, and be done with it.
beautifully directed fight sequence. Love Wushu! See, this is where American film makes keep failing. Get doubles or train the actors to do the specific scenes you need so you can have wide shots, and not this up close, bull crap, quick cut edit junk. This is what a fight scene should look like. Not shaky cameras with one punch or kick edits.
@istheshiz 2 be honest Id accept this in a star wars(especially the Jedi) type film more than in one of Hong Kong's so-called "Historical-Drama" films....look if you wanna have people flying around in a Kung Fu Film go ahead, but stic the word "fantasy" in their as well so poeple can suspend their disbeleif a little bit more....otherwise it just looks, silly
@darkservantofheaven This is a wuxia film, not a historical drama. Wuxia is a "fantasy" genre". There is little difference between wuxia and, say, the Harry Potter universe.
@kenshinc I doubt many Americans know that term, I barely found out about it the term 2days ago(I really should delete the comment) and I am looking into several Wuxia films, watching them and I am greatly appreciating them more and accepting them more, at first when I did not know the term, I considered films like this to be silly, and thinking that they take themselves to seriously, but now that I have a little more knowledge on the genre, I have a higher respect for it now.
@darkservantofheaven It's great that you're exploring wuxia. Open-mindedness is cool! :) Many Chinese fans consider wuxia an unique genre onto itself, in part because there is *some* real-life basis to the martial arts. I disagree; I think it's a form of fantasy. Wuxia used to be seen as "fairytales for adults" and kind of looked down upon, like the fantasy genre as a whole before Lord of the Rings/Harry Potter cemented its status as serious business around the globe. Happy for the respect now.
@kenshinc but hey, how awesome would it be if they made a film with the high flying martial arts of a Wuxia film and mixed in the magic and sorcery of a harry potter type of film, throw in some dragons(have not seen the eastern type of dragon used in film much)
@darkservantofheaven they have tried to mix magic with martial arts before (eg. The Legend of Zu, The Promise/Wuji). It's always turned out badly because HK/China don't have the technical expertise to pull off the special effects. For all Hollywood's faults, it's leagues above everyone else in computer graphics/visual effects. Chinese filmmakers have the money and the will to make a Chinese LotR/HP; hopefully they can acquire the technical know-how soon.
@kenshinc after doing some reading on Wuxia story telling as well as some Asian history, Im thinking of scripting a comic utilizing it, maybe in the future I can see it realised in film...

@StinkyGreenBud And then you confused them, talking about Zhang Ziyi's character rather than the actor herself. She's just as good as Michelle Yeoh and it shows. It has nothing to do with the sword she's using, that's a plot point, not an actor's flaw. Like I said, you're confusing them.

Take notes michael bay this is how you do action, give us some wide shots and show us what is actually going on you dumb fuck.

Yes! Thank you Quentin. Finally, female action movie characters who kick ass while fully and conservatively clothed. Don't get me wrong, I love Tomb Raider and Charlie's Angels, but the wardrobe in those films (or rather, lack of) were RIDIC.

This scene should have over 2 million views. Awesome for: fight design, cinemaography, and furthering the narratives of these strong women characters. I always wondered how this film was received by female audiences in different countries and cultures. When it came out here in the US, I just remember people going on about the wire work, and some complaining about CYF's character, calling him soft [duh, not a HK shoot-em-up]. I'm a guy, and think that this was really a female driven film. A+

Wonderful, kinetic attention to detail in this scene-- it's all magic and make-believe, but fantasy destruction rarely feels so real and physical in movies these days.

@lerriano The sword she had was two identical swords that were connected into one thicker sword. She just disconnected them.

@lerriano shes useing a double broadsword
jingwu42 1 year ago
@jingwu42 Ok, actually first off the weapon she's using at the start is a chinise sabre, or dao, as it's known.
Secondly, look at the scene where she picks it up and it is quite clearly one sword. Not even one that splits into two. The handle isn't wide enough to be two swords, and if it were then there's no way she could have weilded it. and note the ONE blade at 0:38.
Now have proper go at explaining where that second sword comes from and don't waste my time.
lerriano 1 year ago
@lerriano actually.. the common american term for 2 swords of her variety would be a double broad sword, Dao means knife not saber, the term for this sword in chinese would be Shuang dao look it up , second of all this is called a movie,..ever heard of one? this dose not even take place in ancient china, can you believe it? with these new facts in your brain, you should know anything is able to happen in them with out explanation, so,..this is not a waste of time because you asked,..
jingwu42 1 year ago
@jingwu42 Try putting dao into a search.
You'll get a chinese sabre.
Guess what. You're wrong.
lerriano 1 year ago
@lerriano Dao is chinese for "knife", though Dao in kung fu films most often refers to a machete like weapons. Jian means "sword", and in kung fu most often refers to the straight, double edged Green Destiny style swords.

@RusconiDom Smoking-hot-Chinese-babe. I'm not sure, exactly. zii yee rhymes with me and jhang rhymes with Hong Kong. In proper form Chinese surnames are first so its Zhang Ziyi. But friends and family would call her Ziyi. I'd call her Soda pop as in 'What's hot, Soda pop?' Then she would say 'Wo' and touch her butt and make a sizzle sound. :-)

One thing about this Chinese spear business we see in all these Wushu movies were they weave and bob around the spear thrusts - just stick it in their abdomen, right in the seika tanden, and be done with it.

beautifully directed fight sequence. Love Wushu! See, this is where American film makes keep failing. Get doubles or train the actors to do the specific scenes you need so you can have wide shots, and not this up close, bull crap, quick cut edit junk. This is what a fight scene should look like. Not shaky cameras with one punch or kick edits.

@istheshiz 2 be honest Id accept this in a star wars(especially the Jedi) type film more than in one of Hong Kong's so-called "Historical-Drama" films....look if you wanna have people flying around in a Kung Fu Film go ahead, but stic the word "fantasy" in their as well so poeple can suspend their disbeleif a little bit more....otherwise it just looks, silly
darkservantofheaven 1 year ago
@darkservantofheaven This is a wuxia film, not a historical drama. Wuxia is a "fantasy" genre". There is little difference between wuxia and, say, the Harry Potter universe.
kenshinc 1 year ago
@kenshinc I doubt many Americans know that term, I barely found out about it the term 2days ago(I really should delete the comment) and I am looking into several Wuxia films, watching them and I am greatly appreciating them more and accepting them more, at first when I did not know the term, I considered films like this to be silly, and thinking that they take themselves to seriously, but now that I have a little more knowledge on the genre, I have a higher respect for it now.
darkservantofheaven 1 year ago
@darkservantofheaven It's great that you're exploring wuxia. Open-mindedness is cool! :) Many Chinese fans consider wuxia an unique genre onto itself, in part because there is *some* real-life basis to the martial arts. I disagree; I think it's a form of fantasy. Wuxia used to be seen as "fairytales for adults" and kind of looked down upon, like the fantasy genre as a whole before Lord of the Rings/Harry Potter cemented its status as serious business around the globe. Happy for the respect now.
kenshinc 1 year ago
@kenshinc but hey, how awesome would it be if they made a film with the high flying martial arts of a Wuxia film and mixed in the magic and sorcery of a harry potter type of film, throw in some dragons(have not seen the eastern type of dragon used in film much)
darkservantofheaven 1 year ago
@darkservantofheaven they have tried to mix magic with martial arts before (eg. The Legend of Zu, The Promise/Wuji). It's always turned out badly because HK/China don't have the technical expertise to pull off the special effects. For all Hollywood's faults, it's leagues above everyone else in computer graphics/visual effects. Chinese filmmakers have the money and the will to make a Chinese LotR/HP; hopefully they can acquire the technical know-how soon.

@kenshinc after doing some reading on Wuxia story telling as well as some Asian history, Im thinking of scripting a comic utilizing it, maybe in the future I can see it realised in film...
