"The Jade Tiger" is not a film about revenge. It's not about gaining common perception in the martial arts world. It's not about good vs. evil. "The Jade Tiger" is all about a man who goes through these scenarios to realize the monster he has become. The fact that his purposes pertaining towards revenge, fame, and heroism is nothing more than an act of levity. "The Jade Tiger" is about inner enmity.
This is one of Chu Yuan's best films. Although the fights, cinematography, characterization, and weirdo weapons are great and commonplace in a Chu Yuan film, I have to say the story out-weighs it all. The fact that "The Jade Tiger" manifests the idea that good and evil are the true deceptions of all because both are pertinent towards hate, conflict, and so forth is quite logical. So when in doubt, favor neutrality.
Highly recommended. |
