More Tsui Hark on Wikipedia.I have always been a fan of Wuxia movies. They give us a refreshed view of what we had before, of the values and of the way we looked at life.
Be it Chow Yun-fat, Jet Li or Jackie Chan, the proportion of dialogue and drama in their movies is heavy. They use their dialogue to show their acting skills a lot.
Wuxia culture is like another dimension that provides us with strong emotion, strong passion.
