Recommended movie - A Chinese Ghost Story



Following the 1987 horror rom-com classic starring Leslie Cheung and another two movies after that, Wilson Yip directs a new version with Louis Koo and Liu Yi Fei. Yip says he aims to put his own spin on the familiar story and it isn't a sequel, but rather a brand-new story, employing new elements such as CGI effects. Yin Chek Ha (Louis Koo) was determined to become a good Demon Hunter but one day, he made a big mistake when he broke the rules of his Demon Hunter brotherhood. After that, he hides himself in the Black Mountain village. He knows his heart is still with Black Mountain and he tries hard to kill all the demons he encounters to numb himself and forget a woman (Liu Yi Fei). After many years, history repeats itself and he realises he has left his heart with her.

This movie isn't really about ghost. It's what the chinese called 妖. It's talks about 人与妖之间的爱。It talks about someone wanting to kill 妖. Then fall in love with one. However, he refuses to be with one so make her forget about the love. The main female character which is a "yao", then fall in love with another guy which is a 书生。He also fell in love in her. The story reaches it's climax where the main female character wants to be free from another powerful "yao". The 书生 helped her to get free and so on. Wnat to know the ending? Watch it for yourself.
