When you only live to survive
Even when I finished watching the Brother hood of blade, I don’t feel the urge to write anything. Only after I’m done with Brotherhood of blades 2, which is considered the prequel of the first one, then it gives me some motivation to put down some thought.
In Brotherhood Of Blades 2, our main lead Shen Lian( Chang Chen) was caught in political conspiracy with his assignment to kill rebel painter Bei Zhai ( Yang Mi) , whom he later fell in love.. Later, the story revealed with more plot twists, schemes, betrayals and everyone met their loose ends.
As the same in the first movie, the second one was also packed with so many spectacular action scenes. Those were shot in wide frame, presented in continuous shots, thus it is more realistic effect.
The fighting scenes were also raw and original, this is a truly original Wuxia that your eyes were feasted with tension and captivating scenes.
Also, I still think this part is even better in term of dynamic plot and character developments . The love between our main lead develop slowly, subtle but you can see their eyes communication speak louder than words.
And of course, the success of the movie also lay in the stellar performance of castings : a cold, calculated, but also yearn for love Chang Chen’s Shen Lian; a funny, witty, brave Lia Jie Lai’s Pei Lun, and a vulnerable, but brave and independent Yang Mi’s Bei Zhai.
Overall, this is such a wonderful movie to enjoy and another great movie of Chang Chen
