Since I love to watch movies based on historical stories I have really enjoyed it to my heart's content
It’s a great movie, and I agree that the costumes are beautiful. Vietnamese wedding hats might be similar, but movie design is more creative than just a hat. It’s very pretty to watch. I like the movie.
This movie was a big disappointment. I know they have altered the story some to make a 2 hour movie. They couldn't alter the story properly. The movie seemed very disjointed.
I just absolutely loved the movie. It's good entertainment and worth your money. The costumes were beautiful and it was definitely a compelling story and an amazing cast that delivered it dynamically.
after reading the book i was really anxious to go for the movie. but it was disappointing to learn that they had skipped so much from the book. suggestions for those who are keen on saving time- buy the book and read it at home!
