Comments

"The Sword without Shadow" is a film that appeals, especially the lovers of action, a constant throughout the film. Excellent Korean epic which tells the life, the destinies cross, and love experienced by four desperate characters, composed of scenes of great battles well choreographed stunts in sequences of the cap so fine in duels of swords that seem to have a life of its own and many shurikens. There is also another peculiarity in that movie. Apparently, some fatal blows inflicted by swords cause a sort of implosion in the body of those who suffer. The result is that one who had the misfortune to be achieved see your full body blow (when a character is not important), or when it is an important member of the story, the blood wells.

Despite various references to other films set before, nothing takes the shine of this great Korean production. A little movie that failed to become a masterpiece.

Comments:

For those who are a fan of this amazing actor, as I must have seen or have to see this incredible film. Was simply the basis for many American films, because of its scenes of action. How soon will see the first scenes of the film, with the persecution of cars, the scenes are stunning. Showing once again its great direction, Jackie Chan in the film shows how the action actually has impact.

The whole movie you are stuck the images, was seen as the actor who earned more sequences of the 3 series. The scenes with his girlfriend May hilárias are, just as in the films of Jackie Chan can find. There are no words to describe how this film inspired thousands of others. Each scene of action, made by the actor, is in perfect sync and realism, because as you know no Jackie USA stunts.

Curiosities:

Jackie Chan hurt your back during the scene where they slide in the lights of Christmas shopping. He was lucky to get out "unharmed." In this scene he almost broke the seventh and eighth vertebrae, resulting in paralysis of the lower limbs.

Comments:
Again to bring you another movie from director Zhang Yimou. The film follows the line of his two other films, on the political side of "Hero" and melodramatic romantic side of "the clan of the flying daggers." Disagreements about the history of the Emperor Ping (Chow Yun-Fat) and Empress Phoenix (Gong Li) and other secrets of the palace.
As in previous films, director Yimou account again with a fantastic art direction, with beautiful costumes and great photos. As you have noticed, Yimou loves to work the colors and this film is no exception. Even the costumes are with their costumes and color detail and fully correct. Visual effects left to be desired, because of computer graphics, the battle in which many soldiers were created digitally, yet it is exciting to see.
The choreography is excellent in the same style as the previous films of Yimou. I hope you enjoy the movie, despite being a drama, with stories and pictures very good. XD
