My small review of Jet Li's Fearless movie


Starring: Jet Li
Directed by: Ronny Yu
---Spoilers included-------

It's a memorable story of Huo Yuanjia, Played by JET LI'S, who's one of the best martial artists in the world after seeing his dad get embarrassed with a loss in a match and wants revenge thus forcing him to become the best arrogant Wushu master. After killing a senior rival master, his family wife & girl, is killed by his rival's grandson sending him in a sad emotional state and leaves Tianjin to find himself. He meets a woman who is blind but he learns from her that respecting others, having discipline etc. e. After his slow transformation, he goes back to his homeland and learns everything has changed and has to fight again for not only winning but respect of others and leading China against Westerners who bully Asia a lot. Scenes leading to climax fight were stunning & done well. Inner message is conveyed very well i.e. it is not all about winning but honor of other opponents, being a disciplined moral person within yourself. Two thumbs up & worthwhile movie. The cinematography, directing, editing, all top notch. Special thanks to the modern cinema technology and special effects, Fearless employed several unique and over-the-edged angles on Jet's phenomenal martial arts ability.
