That was quite a moving little title. The old master discovered a less violent, and more human way of having offense. Loved it!

Another awesome title by Kihachiro Kawamoto!

The final message in the credits said it all.

From a technical perspective I was completed mind blown by the windy mountain scene with Gan Ying and Ji Chang. To think every flicker of the robes, sashes, hair and beard had to be stopped in motion and taken! Correct me if I'm mistaken.

And it was pure eye candy everytime the bow was drawn, the posture, the slow draw, pause and release. Perfect!

Such an intelligent movie with intelligent visuals.

I guess this shows how much peace methods can lead to a peaceful long life and shoot without shooting. My favorite part though was the robber's rumor, who stated that he was shot by Chang's invisible arrow.

Such a good movie, 8/10.
