Ok as you all know that this week is sabbaticals and yeah I went to 电影超人变变变!
It may sound a bit childish to you and for us as well when we first went to this sabbaticals (:
However, after the first day, we found out that movie-watching was all we did in class and the movies were not those kind of boring and old movies but they were movies which were just released not long ago (But the bad thing is that they didn't show us any English movies:D) and all those chinese movies that we watch were engaging and "addictive" and the movie that I felt left the deepest impression in my mind was actually "Bodyguards and Assassins" which was actually a NC-16 movie but.. who cares? :)

To give a overview, Bodyguards and Assassins is actually a movie of a group of ordinary men and women who actually possess extraordinary fighting skills. They must protect the one man Dr. Sun Yat-Sen who holds a nation’s fate and he must survive relentless attempts on his life with only these five bodyguards.
Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, the Father of Modern China has come to China to investigate the revolution of 1911 that overturns the Qing Dynasty, and his life is almost cut short when he arrives at Hong Kong for a secret meeting to establish a united anti-Qing revolutionary front.
Against hundreds of assassins, the five bodyguards must put their courage to the test in order to protect the hope of millions even if it means fighting to the death…

This movie is a one of a kind movie as I feel that it describes very clearly about the tough times that the Chinese were facing and how hard it was to overthrow the Qing government and restore "humanity" to the Chinese. Following that were the sacrifices of the 5 bodyguards and how they sacrificed their lives for the sake and the future of their country and how hard they fought to prevent the assassins from achieving their goal, that is to murder Sun Yat-Sen.

The movie moved us and we were all touched by how the bodyguards, even tho' heavily outnumbered, were still resilient and they didn't give up, fighting to the last breath and till the last minute. With many twists in the plot, we were taken aback at some parts of the story and the nicest part of the movie was the superb fighting scenes and dramatic actions. (:

One of the characters in the movie was Wang Fuming and I loved this character as he is somewhat of a "human giant" with hands four times bigger than an ordinary human's. He is an outcast monk from the Southern Shaolin Monastery who became a stinky toufu vendor. and seeks redemption in order to return to his former monastery. He has a gigantic build and possesses immense strength. However, he was the first of the five to be killed after being stabbed numerous times by the assassins but reappears one last time to destroy a structure to block the assassins' path and then sacrifices himself and stalling time for the other bodyguards to make their escape.
