"Oh dear Cinematographer
First of all I would like to tell you how happy I am that you exist and how grateful I am for the work you do
" Well, I started this comment by recognizing the magnificent work of the "House of Flying Daggers" cinematographer who is one of the few that has been able to have such an impact on my deciding the final evaluation for a movie as a whole. Generally, I evaluate movies depending how serious and powerful their acting or plot appear to me, but this time I found the cinematography the most influential and overwhelming. I loved the acting and the plot, too, but I bet that it was the way the whole movie looked like that added up so much to my adoring this splendid piece of art. House of Flying Daggers is a movie you will love unless you hate the kinds of "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon", "Hero", and "Zatoichi"
it contains loads of supernatural scenes with dazzling surroundings of numerous colors. Visual effects create a linking aura between the fights which occur from greenish and humid bamboo forests to sedate and colorful meadows. I am not really a fan of adventure or fantasy and don't happen to watch those kinds of flicks very much but truly, I adore martial arts films and they bring nothing less than sheer excitement. This is the only film to excel in cinematography since "Collateral" as of 2004. 9/10
