Description: Scarcely had the sun gilding the tops of cedars and Far reflected in the waters of the Pearl River , hidden behind the cusp Victoria , losing his heavenly throne beauty moon night , as on the eastern road leading to the town , appeared merchant caravan . He avoided meeting with overly curious eyes because their chests drove not a commodity , and been stolen from decent families of young virgins , intended for special places Ms. Chun ( He - he SE ), providing sexual services urban elite , among which the number of father the local governor. Thus elite brothel always been guaranteed high protection , and his mistress had a significant impact in their city. Men are not interested in her , because she fell in love with one of the newly arrived girls Well Ai ( Chen Kuan - Hu ) , she liked his recalcitrance and furious energy. That played into the hands of its new owner , as if answering her affection , for which he was treated kindly and even trained in various amorous tricks , and techniques of kung fu , with which the hostess had to perfection. But hiding behind the outer gentleness sober calculation and uncontrollable desire for revenge .
The theme of revenge is found in almost every film made in East Asia, is no exception and this picture , directed by Yuen Chorom . Who lived at the turn of I-II centuries BC. e . Roman poet and satirist Decimus Junius Juvenal claimed : "Revenge is the enjoyment of the soul shallow and low " and more modern to us German writer and poet Berthold Auerbach was sure that "Who revenge , he , together with other and destroys itself," but there were other views on this eternal theme . So Walter Scott wrote: " No, revenge - this feast of the gods . And if it is true , as we are assured the priests , the gods save up this right for themselves , so they believe it is a delight too valuable to make it available to mere mortals. " Hardly Ai Well read these sages - in the East and its enough, but revenge was in her blood and she laid there with ancestral genes , but because the right a hundred times our contemporary and compatriot - writer Victoria Tokarev , assures us that " When a woman takes revenge - common sense silent. The best thing that can make a man - is on the lam in a heart beat . "
How could it happen that ordinary courtesan could retaliate with impunity is not the last people in the city for quite a long period and no one was concerned about this , except for the main police officer Fu ( Chan Shen ) , but all his attempts were in vain . Well ah was firmly under the umbrella of all the hassles outstretched above her head in love mistress, she was able to convince men that he hates even more than her mistress . But Chun did not suspect that the list of places allocated to her place of honor. The final film is a free interpretation of one of Shakespeare's dramas , but do not disclose its name in order to maintain intrigue. " Having eyes - yes will see ."
This movie is no different confusing plot , on the contrary , everything is obvious and predictable , the acting is more than mediocre staging fight scenes dull as kung fu , shown here , replete with cheap trickery indispensable somersaults in the air at full height , the camera work is unremarkable since all photographed in the pavilion , the music sounding in the film , typically Chinese, unusual for a European ear abundance of high notes .
Though the old man was right Auerbach, but this film is hardly worth watching for confirmation of his wisdom. The only thing he can "buy" gullible audience , so it's his name, given to him by analogy with distributors " Memoirs of a Geisha ." Alas, apart from this allusion , they have nothing in common .
