Asian Movie Review – The Promise

When I was in Hong Kong I picked up a bunch of flicks and this is one of them. This is a recent movie and was entered into the Cannes film festival under China. First of all, the cinematography is spectacular and so are the costumes. The story is about a young girl who makes a promise that in return for beauty all men that she loves she will lose.

It was just over 2 hours and involved lots of amazing computer graphics, amazing fight scenes, and a great story line. Another two thumbs up. I’m trying to pick up some Chinese from these flicks and so far have mastered yes. It sounds like shi shi or something like that I think!
