5.0 out of 5 stars A Historical based Love story with Hamlet style revenge and intrigues, November 8, 2006

China's best director (Feng Xiao-Gang), Best art director (Tim Yip), Best Martial Arts director (Yuen Woo-Ping), Best Music Composer/Director (Tan Dun), and Best actresses (Zhang Zhi-Yi and Zhou Xun), Best actor (Ge You), all get together to make this big casts, big expenditure movie in a extravagant and exquisite movie. The audience will enjoy the authentic Chinese costume, music, and conspiracies. The only minor complain of this movie is that the Love story, although beautiful, defies the traditional Chinese way of openly showing emotions.

I enjoyed the film very much. I was captured by the emotion the actors gave through out this peice. A true tale of Love, Betrayl, and Greed.
