Dancing Assasins

I have seen many movies from many different countries. I have seen French, English, Irish, Italian, Indian, of course American, Korean, Chinese, Mexican, Spanish, and Japanese (not sure why I went on to write them all down haha) films and I have to say the ones that I have enjoyed the most aside from American films of course are Korean films.
Yesterday I watched a film called The Duelist. It is a Korean film from 2005 yeah wow I thought it was a fantastic movie. In itself some parts are a little confusing but other than that the way it was filmed the cinematography, the choreographed swordplay scenes, and the story as well was really good at least in my opinion.

Wow I am the most impressed with the swordplay... the fights in the film were choreographed in a way that it was like dancing....they were beautifully done. The costumes the way they moved only enhanced on the beauty of the scenes.
this video is one of the scenes...there are a couple others that were even more amazing




It is one movie I recommend to see. If you don't like Ninja Assassin because there is so much blood then this one is the one to see. Ninja Assassin has some pretty awesome fight scenes but at least to my personal taste too much blood it practically rains blood in that movie ( lol it must be because the actor's name is Rain hahaha). The Duelist in a way is more of love story to a certain extent (ok not really its not the basis of the story it's in a certain way they romanticize the idea of being an assassin and its not the main point of the story) and well it is Korean unlike Ninja Assassin they are from a Japanese Clan. Well I am not even sure why I am even comparing both of them. I am just rambling on.
Yeah I just wanted to share that I saw that movie hahaha

anyways here is a video in the spirit of watching the movie
I think this is a song from the soundtrack well if not there are scenes from the fil
