Although I loved a couple of historical Chinese martial films that I reviewed in the last week,this one is not in that class.Although it has historical relevance and filmed magnificently with a tragic love story,it relies much too heavily on martial arts,and the flying through the air type that defies gravity to boot.Thats why I took 1 star off.However I realize that martial arts does entail that sort of thing in films so who am I to say what is too much.It was released in 2002 and runs 99 minutes.The story SEEMED obvious but is indeed more layered as the film goes on and thats why I stuck with it.I am a incurable romantic.Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary below.Enjoy it for what it is,I did.

When a minor official defeats Qin's three principal enemies, he is summoned to the palace to tell Qin the story of his surprising victory. Written by Yocke
