Emotional, Powerful and absolutely Stunning
"What a Beauty of a film" was my first reaction after seeying this great work of art. <
>These are the films Chinese cinema are all about. "House of the Flying Daggers" is a powerful story about love and war that has made a stunning impression. <
> <
>The style Director Zhang Yimou puts in his films is well known for it's absolutely stunning scenery. The way he fills up the screen is delicious eye candy and with this film it's no difference. <
>From the locations to the way of filming, from the lighting to the costumes: it is and looks absolutely gorgeous. We've seen in his grand film "Hero", that next to the scenery Yimou also knows how to film his actionscenes and this film is the absolute proof of that. Great camerawork and strong editing make the fights tense and a joy to watch. <
>But this film isn't all about action: It's mostly a powerful drama and romantic film that shows emotions that are very well brought by the actors. <
>Therefor the cast is perfect: Zhang Ziyi is so believable and realistic as the blind woman Mei. She acts with heart and gives a wonderful, stunning performance. Takeshi Kaneshiro has also been greatly cast as the man who falls in love with the her. He plays his character well and is great to see on the screen. Andy Lau knows how to portray his character and gives a great performance as well. <
>A cast you can't go wrong with. <
> <
>So unlike "Hero", this film is mostly centered on the romance and the love the main characters are experiencing. <
>So that element can be seen as the beating heart of the film, with around that fights and action. <
> <
>So if you loved "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero" and haven't seen this one yet: what are you waiting for?! <
>If you haven't seen those films and want to see what the real beauty and excitement of cinema is all about: watch this one and be blown away. <
>Because with a story of great twists and switches, love and hate, stunning beauty, fantastic scenery, beautiful music, powerful emotion, tense action and great acting (I can go on and on): "House of the Flying Daggers" is another triumph out of China that shows a film that is a masterpiece in every powerful and gorgeous way.

A work of art
Note: 4 1/2 stars is what I mean. <
> <
> This is one of the most gorgeous films you will ever see. You can watch this film without sound or subtitles and still be enraptured. The breathtaking landscapes, the gorgeous use of colors, the wonderful costume design, the stunning dance and fight choreography will captivate you like few films do. <
> The musical score is excellent, it enhances the mood of the scenes even further. The acting is also very convincing, your hearts will go out to these characters. <
> The story is simple, but has some interesting twists, and is told very well. Compared to most movies there is very little dialogue, but you won't miss it. Words are never wasted, every line seems essential. My only qualm is with the final unfolding of events which are not bad, but were not up to the level of the rest of the film. <
> Target audience: Anyone who doesn't mind subtitles.

If You Liked Crouching Tiger and/or Hero...
This one ranks in the top two. I can't decide which is better, this or Crouching Tiger. A temporary ranking: <
> <
>1) Crouching Tiger <
>2) House of Flying Daggers <
>3) Hero <
> <
>This is one of the most beautifully filmed movies I've ever seen. The action sequences are awesome, especially the opening "dance" number. Just sit back and enjoy it all. It's a bit faster paced than the awesome-but-slow Hero. <
> <
>On DVD it looks absolutely tremendous. I own it.
