In honor of
koalathebear making it back to Australia safely, I bring you pic spam from one of the movies she likes (and she isn't the only one :P), House of Flying Daggers. What is is about? Well, love, and fighting, and some gorgeous gorgeous colors. It's one of the three big imports of the period/wuxia (is that the term?) Chinese movies into the US and it's as hyper-personal as Hero is about the abstract over the individual (a big reason I prefer HoFD to Hero).
This pic spam is naturally a bit biased, as while Andy Lau is a fine actor, I am still bitter about what he did to Tony Leung in Infernal Affairs. Kidding. Sorta. It's just Takeshi Kaneshiro, the other male lead, really does it for me. Oh, and of course plenty of Zhang Ziyi. I am sure I duplicated a few shots within the post but I am tired and don't want to edit for the umpteenth time. I am sure you won't mind looking at some pretty twice.
Because this is cute:
