I fell in love

sweetrupturedlight

I do not wish to cloud this review/comment with highs and low's.  all i want to say is that this movie, the second time that i see it, has become my favourite.  i felt the emotion, i felt the anger, and i felt the forbidden chemistry.  i cried.  it was lovely.  i am not ordinarily a jodie foster fan and Chow yun-fat has up until now escaped my notice.  i fell in love with both if them in this movie.  chow made a dashing king, his performance wonderful, romantic and...well, i fell in love. haha.

the sets...breathtaking.  i also have to add that the children.  where did they find them?  i fell in love with the them, the little princess, the kings favourite, all the children.

again, my favourite - ever.  im so glad i have it on tape, not i can go back and watch it endlessly.  yes, the original was great, the later adaptation good too, this, this is different.

10!

score 10/10
