Bride with White Hair

There is really no way I can explain the title other than by saying that this is a Chinese movie starring Leslie Cheung and Bridgette Lin as starcrossed lovers.

This movie is really a love story set inside a traditional Chinese epic. The movie is set in the period just before the Qin dynasty established China as a unified entity.

Cheung and Lin are in opposing warring clans that fall in love with each other. There is really nothing else I can mention other than its got lots of fighting and lots of love scenes.

A good tagline would be this is a story of love, honor and betrayal. This is a traditional Chinese epic, with characters flying through the air and possessing super strength.  It is also a well choreographed swordsman movie.

Its got something for everyone; action, romance and intrigue.
