Summary: Breathtaking love story!
Review: This a beautiful story of unrequited love,passion felt and denied,jealousy,rivalry,and sacrifice.The actress who played"The Master"brings an incredible sensitivity to her role.I felt for Niu Bao as he falls in love with the unattainable. My utter contempt for Mann grew with each passing moment! Well worth seeing again and again!

Summary: The ending will blow you away
Review: This was really an interesting and intense story of illicit love during the turn of the century in China. The camera work and colors were spellbinding. As with most chinese films with english subtitles, you must view it at least 2-3 times to really appreciate it. I guess I really liked this film because not only did it seem historically accurate but also the characters were really believable. The fireworks competition at the end was as suspenseful as a gunfight. And the ending is not your everyday hollywood sugar coated junk.
