Title: Sublime cinematography and costuming.
Product review: I have to confess that there is probably no way that I personally could make it through this entire movie in one sitting. It's really long, and it's also heavy. It's worth seeing!!! Which makes me thrilled to have a pause button. :) This is a visually stunning movie. Gorgeous. And the costumes are divinely done. I do not know enough about Chinese history to make any assessment of the accuracy of this movie. However, as a Westerner with little knowledge of Chinese history, I felt that the movie helped open up another culture for me. [There are some scenes that are more difficult to watch than others; and I would recommend previewing before showing it to minors, as some will and some won't do well with the occassional--and realistic--graphicness.]
