This movie has been in production for 3 years and the main female leads are all Chinese!

This was one of my favorite books ever and I normally won't watch movies of books I like, but this one might be worth it.

Good movie. Tuff to follow at times, but good overall. The lead girl is gorgeous.

Bumping this thread again because I watched it last week. My wife thought it was one of the best movies she has seen in a long time. I thought that it was good. The blue eyes on Ziyi are amazing.

I would say 7.5 or 8 out of 10.

I just picked this up from the library. It looks like it did pretty good at the Academy Awards. I look forward to watching it.

I just watched it. The cinematography and costumes were fantastic, but I didn’t really care much for the movie.
