The Banquet

First time that I initiated to watch a 'wu xia' movie.. Don't really like to watch such shows, cause they are boring and draggy. But this is different.. I got attracted to the show because of Zhou Xun and Ziyi Zhang.. They are such powerful and good actresses after Gong Li [ I like her role as Hatsumomo]. Later i realise that this show portraits the harsh reality of life, backstabbing and hypocrites do exist. Sometimes we don't know which side to stand on to protect ourselves and our love ones..

Kinda pity 'Qing Nu'.. dying for her unconditional love for 'Prince Wu Luan' although she kinda caused her own death.. Till the end of the show, I still cant tell whether the empress wan er is a good character or a villain.. even when she died.. She was so power hungry that she could kill anyone in her way.. Sometimes love is really powerful..
