    Zhang Yimou/House of Flying Daggers

    Anyone impressed by the Oympics opening and closing ceremonies? They were produced and directed by Zhang Yimou.

    He also directed the film, House of Flying Daggers.
    It was nominated for many awards in 2004 (I think). It has all the suspense, romance and fighting you might wish for in a Chinese movie. It also has Zhang's rich textures and colors and is quite high quality. Stars Zhang Ziyi (no relation) a beautiful and talented actress.

    The theme song is translated:

    A rare beauty in the north,
    she's the finest lady on earth.
    A glance from her, the whole city falls;
    a second glance leaves the whole nation in ruins.
    There exists no city or nation,
    that has been more cherished
    Than a beauty like this.

    I recommend it, if you are looking for something a little different.

    Actually, I'm not looking for something different...I found that in 1966.

    But, Yimou Zhang has won many awards, some of them are;

    The Amanda Awards - Norway - 1991, the Saturn Award for Ju Dou.

    The BAFTA Film Award - 1995, for Huozhe (shared with Fu-Sheng Chu)

    The BAFTA - 1993, for Da Hongdeng long gao gao gua
    (shared with Fu-Sheng Chu)

    The Alfred Bauer Award - 2003, for Ying xiong

    And many more.

      The Olympics closed?

      I'm waiting to hear from a friend who is refereeing over there, if he had anything fly his way, after the kick incident.
      She couldn't tell the difference between the escape pod, and the bathroom. We had to go back for her.........................Twice.
