Everything about this movie is perfect, from script, acting, cinematography, plot, dialogues. The beautiful sceneries, costumes, ethnic dances, acting, fighting choreography, are simply mind blowing. It's very difficult for me to stop watching the movie. The cast is so authentic, the acting so superb, that I can feel joy and sadness as though journeying with real friends. The twists and turns of the plot and mysteries therein keep my mind churning nonstop. This is the best movie I've ever watched and remains in my heart and soul forever. Love story, historical drama, martial arts movie, art and dance composition, travel documentary, nail biting mystery... this movie has it all, a classic production that will stand the test of time and will continue to lift up the human spirit for generations to come. My only qualm is that the English subtitles are spotty and lagging behind the real dialogue; and the dubbing version takes away the superb voice quality and emotional force of the real actors. I hope the production studio will be able to provide high quality subtitle or dubbed version(s) for non-Chinese language speakers. Also, the sound periodically just turns off in the middle of a scene, then comes back on again, probably due to some technical errors that need to be cleaned up.
