Hi peeps, my 'I don't have enough hours in the day' keeps continuing. So tomorrow I will upload 'A Knight's tale' on YouTube. But since I have uploaded that here already (twice even? haha) I wanted to give you something else! :) Hope you enjoy this reaction.

Yes! Hope you enjoyed it as much as i did when i first watched it. Its such a beautiful Story and so well written. I know that this "Chinese Fairy Tale Style" isnt for everyone but its worth it. Anyway, thanks Mary.

Mary, you are on fire, you have reacted to two of my favorite movies, 'No Country For Old Men' and 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon'. If you are looking for a great break down of the fight in the dojo between Yu Shu Lien and Jen I would recommend looking up the video 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Chaos Engine' by Jill Bearup. There is a lot of stuff, for lack of a better word, happening in the dojo fight a lay person will miss. I will also mention the fight choreographer, Woo-Ping Yuen has worked on many films and is able to put amazing fight scenes together. Other films/fight choreography he has done and I know you have reacted to are 'The Matrix' and 'Kill Bill: Vol. 2".

Many of the Chinese martial arts movies are more than just action movies, especially after the success of CT,HD. Two I would suggest off the top of my head are Hero and House of Flying Daggers.

Such a sad, beautiful movie. Have loved it since I saw it in the theater. Seconding the recommendations above, and I'd add the movie "Sense and Sensibility", which was also directed by Ang Lee.

Finally could watch it. When i had sent my first recommendations so long ago, i never thought you would really react to such a Movie cause its so different from Western Movies but i knew you would really like it. Although it seems its a newer request from a higher tier. Either Way, thanks again. Hope you will watch more of those Movies, there are so many out there who really deserve a reaction, i.e. Hero (2002). As i wrote back then in my description "Every Scene, every Shot is a Picture". One of the most beautiful Movies i ever watched and with fantastic Storytelling. First Lesson with Wuxia Movies is, its often very different from Hollywood and that makes those Movies so amazing.

I would also recommend HERO from 2002, starring Jet Li. Not sure about it's availability in different countries, but it's worth tracking down if you can.
