Wonderful, epic cinema.,

This review is from: The Warrior Collection - The Warrior & Bichunmoo - 4 Disc Collector's Box Set [DVD] (DVD)
These are two very different films.
Bichunmoo is a sword fantasy in the same vein as CTHD. It is full of action and has very nice cinematography, but is told mostly through flashbacks, and it is often difficult to tell how much time has elapsed between sections. The Warrior (often called "Musa: the Warrior") is my favourite asian film. It is the story of a Korean diplomatic mission to China who are left in the Gobi desert and decide to make their own way back home, despite being harried by both Chinese and Yuan (Mongol) enemies. This is more a historical epic than a martial arts movie - there is no wire-fu; think "Braveheart" in China and you would be on the right track.

This review is from: The Warrior Collection - The Warrior & Bichunmoo - 4 Disc Collector's Box Set [DVD] (DVD)
I love this film because of the beautiful way it is filmed, the sad story and the lovely music. I love martial arts films, and whilst this is not typical of most of the genre, it certainly didn't disappoint me. This film also draws heavily on its manga origins and the director has paid attention to each shot, so that that manga feel is evident. However, I think that the love-story element of the film will only annoy a lot of men out there (sorry, don't mean to be sexist, just realistic!). It isn't as full of wires as some films and thankfully there is none of the appalling humour found in so many martial arts films, probably because this is chiefly Korean rather than HK.

Thank God for the Warrior of Virtue!,
This review is from: The Warrior Collection - The Warrior & Bichunmoo - 4 Disc Collector's Box Set [DVD] (DVD)
The four stars given to these movies are all for Bichunmoo, which is a beautiful film with real soul, some wonderful action sequences, not at all violent, beautiful acting -very moving performances.
The Warrior on the other hand is slow, tedious, convoluted and incredibly dull. It lacks any kind of Soul and I have never got more than half way through without falling asleep. Without doubt I would have given Bichunmoo five stars if it was on its own. Incidentally there is another film titled the Warrior by Asif Kapadia, which is much better than the one here.
