The film of my childhood

I have forgotten the name of this film, then thx to my cousin I found it and watched it again. Great film, and a great performance.

I watched this film 30 times or more when I was 7-10 years old.

Real historical defence systems have been used in the film. That was very cool. For example, boiling oil. Traps in the coast. I have read about these methods in history.

Key figures in the war were accurately shown. Especially Leng Ping - a mercenary expert in throwing flying daggers. I liked his role in the war.

Wang Yu is a legend. Her charismatic stance in the movie impressed me a lot. Choosing black and white dresses for fighters was a good one. It's a beautiful film shot under the limited conditions of that time.
