O ovom filmu

With SHADOW, director Zhang Yimou (HERO, HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS) once again pushes the boundaries of wuxia action to create a film like no other, masterfully painting a canvas of inky blacks and greys punctuated with bursts of color from the blood of the defeated. In a kingdom ruled by a young and unpredictable king, the military commander has a secret weapon: a "shadow", a look-alike who can fool both his enemies and the King himself. Now he must use this weapon in an intricate plan that will lead his people to victory in a war that the King does not want.

This was a very interesting watch. What looked like a straight forward and clear cut story line soon turns out to be filled with ... well I don't want to spoil anything so let's just say filled with twists and turns. Who's the hero? Who's the bad guy? Who's right and who's wrong? The mainly black/white artistic style is also very nice. At first I didn't really like it, but as it progressed I find it fits the story very well. The only weak part I didn't like is the King. Strange depiction style that doesn't fit the character, and also terrible lines. Can't say if the English subtitles are any good as I didn't use them since I can understand Chinese. Overall a great movie, strongly recommended. ============================================ 有意思的故事。 情节比想象的更此起彼伏。没有想到的结尾。 主要以黑/白颜色来做渲染不错。 国王的角色有点差，我觉得跟想要描述的人的性格不符，说的台词也不很恰当。 但不论怎么说，电影整体很不错。强烈推荐观赏！
