YesAsia Editorial Description
House of Flying Daggers is the latest martial arts epic from acclaimed director Zhang Yimou who stunned the world with Hero. How does love exist in a world where no one can be trusted and ambush is coming from all sides?
Towards the end of the Tang dynasty, the Emperor's rule is waning and corruption is rife, and many groups are formed in society to challenge the authorities. Out of all the groups, the most powerful is House of Flying Daggers. The government decides to send Feng Tian County's top captains Leo (Andy Lau) and Jin (Takeshi Kaneshiro) to capture the new leader within 10 days. Leo suspects that Mei (Zhang Ziyi), the beautiful new dancer at Peony Pavillion, is the daughter of the old leader. He decides to send Jin disguised as a warrior called Wind to rescue Mei, and to ensnare her trust so she'll lead them to the secret headquarters of the House of Flying Daggers. But as Jin and Mei spend more time together, they begin to develop feelings for each other. However, danger is lurking from all corners. Can Jin and Mei really love each other when there are secrets being hidden from both sides?
House of Flying Daggers has been received with both critical and commercial success in Asia. Andy Lau, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Zhang Ziyi and give stunning performances as people torn apart by love and betrayal. The action choreography is staged by Ching Siu Tung who also worked on Hero.

導演：張藝謀
Director: Zhang Yi Mou
唐大中大三年，皇帝昏庸，朝廷腐敗，民間湧現不少反官府的組織，其中飛刀門以「殺富濟貧、推翻朝廷」為旗號，甚得百姓擁戴。朝廷深以為患，逐令飛刀門總部所在的捧天縣縣衙於十日內，將飛刀門幫主緝拿歸案。兩大捕頭與金捕頭急謀對策；劉捕頭懷疑新店牡丹坊的舞妓小妹是前幫主的女兒，逐用計將她拿下，押入天牢。二人並再度設下圈套︰由金捕頭化名隨風大俠，乘夜劫獄，救出小妹；藉此騙取小妹的信任，查出飛刀門的巢穴。
逃亡路上，兩人漸生情愫。然而，隱隱殺機正悄悄地向他們逼近…
859AD, the incompetent Emperor and corrupted government decline the Tang Dynasty. Rebel armies are forming; among them, underground alliance 'House of Flying Daggers' is the largest and most prestigious. Feng Tian County's two local captains, Leo and Jin are ordered to capture the House leader within ten days. Captain Leo suspects that Mei, the beautiful new dancer at the Peony Pavilion is actually the daughter of the former leader, and hatches a plan to arrest her and bring her in for questioning. At the same time, Captain Jin will pretend to be a lone warrior, Wind, rescue Mei from prison, earning her trust and escorting her to the secret headquarters of the House of Flying Daggers. The plan works but on their long journey to the House, something unexpected and uncontrollable is forming.

Strangely Intriguing O.o
| This movie seemed all-over-the-place to me, but yet I enjoyed it regardless. Some of the acting was pretty bad in parts but the visuals were beautiful and interesting. Once I started watching it, for some reason, I was drawn into the complicated storyline and characters. Zhang Ziyi is a very simple and plain-looking girl but is a pretty good actress some of the time. The ending is beautiful but sad in its way. While I do find this movie often forgettable compared to better Chinese action/romances, it didn't give me that "i can't believe i wasted 2 hours of my life on this!" feeling. I thought the sexual parts brought down the quality of the movie not to mention they were kind of funny and odd!! O.o Anyyyyyyyyywaaay! It's a fair movie, but nothing I'd watch more than 2 times or recommend to someone looking for a good Asian film. O.O nuh-uh. |

Visual Poetry
Visual Poetry
| This is my favourite film in the world. Yes, ive read that some people think the story is weak, that the ending is melodramatic etc, etc. I couldnt care less. This film will fill up your senses with its beautiful use of colour (the costumes, sets and out-door scenery is the best my eyes have ever experienced on film), music (the soundtrack is superb) and the particularly spectacular action scenes. This film to me is visual poetry...I went through every emotion possible with this drama and have watched it time and time again and still feel the same about it. Yi Mou Zhang is a genius as far as I am concerned. I cannot wait for his next offering. The lead actors are gorgeous and credible and if film is there to make you really FEEL, feel I most certainly did. |

so so
| The movie was visual and gorgeous...but the story line was awful. It was far too predictable, you could tell what was going to happen, and who was going to kill who. I also felt that falling in love in three days is laughably fake. It took a lot away from the believeability of the film, and added a callow, childish element to it. I did like the scenes and outfits of the movie too, though. The movie could have been much better. Also, the kissing scenes were pretty bad. It looks like it was agonizing for them to kiss each other! If its that bad, dont do it! |

Like Ziyi, only 'cause of her beauty, not for perf
|
I like Zhang ziyi, only because of her beauty, absolutely not for her performance. Her role in Croaching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was remarable, but it seems that she has got no performance progress since then. Her face, as recorgnized by almost everyone, shows signs of stubborn, that’s all, but no expression of inner feelings, especially in some complicated circumstances. That’s why I am quite disappointed with her roles in some films including House of Flying Daggers. I have a feeling that she has been offered some roles which are far beyond her performance ability. Anyway, I insist on her attractive beauty. I am looking forward a break-through from Zi Yi, or at least a better change in her performance in the near future |
