5.0 out of 5 stars Fox Fairy?, June 16, 2006

By	Andrew W. Clark (ct, usa) - See all my reviews

Well, I thought everyone in this was great. Anita Mui was playing a reprehensible twit for laughs, not Jet Li.
If anyone's interested:
Yin: Beauty, thinness, dark
Yang: Strength, fatness, light
There's a couple other fox fairy movies out there, I think; when I find them I'll list them here...
Some Japanese fairy movies to tide you over:
The Cat Returns
Rebirth of Mothra 1 & 2
(runs off giggling through the fields)
edit: Well I must say thank you and sorry for the votes!
I suppose I can say some more I know about it: It was a New Year's movie, and won a bunch of awards. I've watched it again (and i don't replay much)
Movies:
Fox Legend
Wishing Stairs
Dreams
Princess Racoon (tanuki)
yobi the five tailed fox
the fox family (this is the best I've seen to date)
the fox with nine tails
forbidden love (tv series)
book: The Fox and the Jewel

1.0 out of 5 stars Chinese Romance Drag-style, July 3, 2005

By	Lady Naava - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

I think some dialogue was lost in the translation of this film. Cheung Wu Yen (Sammi Cheng) is an amazon from the forest. When the young emperor (played by Anita Muis ) arrives in the forest to hunt, he (?) falls for Wu Yen, but accidentally releases an evil Hermaphroditic fairy. (!) The evil fairy curses Wu Yen with a giant red birthmark on her face and vows to seduce the emperor herself.

I found Wu Yen to be a little *too* fantastic and difficult to get into. The actress who played the emperor wasn't particularly convincing in her/his roll. If you are going to have an actress play a key male roll, at least make sure she can do it well. Her main way to act masculine seems to be rolling her eyes and hanging her mouth open in dumb surprise. I know it is Chinese tradition to have women play key rolls in certain operas, but I didn't really think it worked here. Anita Muis acting was flat and the humor seemed more slapstick and uninspired. Perhaps if they had a cute guy play the emperor or if Anita were more charming.

1 Star.
