i love this movie more for the truism it present regard the heart of a man as well a for the wonderful kung fu it represent . the main character display a depth of emotion that be not often see in this genre manage to convey in word and memory induce vignettes the tragedy of his life and the wrong he have commit to survive and his sorrow at what he have become . the man he have wrong be also compel in that instead of exact quick revenge a we see with other martial art film he want to know his family murderer to find out why he kill them . the ultimate protagonist and leader of the eagle be also good but more in line with other kung fu baddie than a a truly original character . i would recommend this movie because it manage to tell a story of vengeance and human frailty without sacrifice either of them .
