Synopsis
The story begins with Jet Li recounting to the King how he defeated the three assassins as played by Donnie Yen, Tony Leung, and Maggie Cheung. The events that lead to Li sitting before the King are actually recounted three seperate times, with the circumstances changing depending on whether Li or Chen Daoming, who plays the King, is speaking. The film's success depends on Yimou's ability to reveal new aspects of the characters and plot without being repetitive. He does so with great skill and gives us the chance to see fights between the lead characters unfold with different outcomes. In a couple of cases, the fights depicted never even take place. One particularly stunning confrontation between Leung and Li takes place on the surface of a placid lake with each combatant thrusting his sword tip into the water to propel his body into the air again. What is really happening is that the characters are fighting in their heads, a representation of the psychological war two warriors engage in that may determine the fate of a battle before it even begins.
