I normally don’t like period movies but, watching this, I felt like Zhang Yimou had schooled me. Did anyone else think they’d just been transported to feudal China? The new screen + projector combo really brought it to life.

Also, it was so nice to have the studio not smelling like an ashtray in the morning. It seems that most of you are able enjoy movies without a fag in your hand. Another change for the better!
