Here is an interesting poser. The template of a cinematic movement often results in imitation. So if you see the imitators first then does that affect your opinion of the original given it then loses some of its freshness? How best then to look at “City War”? Is it best to have seen the original heroic bloodsheds that came before it or does that in turn mean there will be an automatic comparison. Welcome to the Hobson’s choice of reviewing. Separating a movie from its peers to look at it on its own terms. With “A Better Tomorrow”, we got the template for all heroic bloodshed features to follow. So in theory comparisons are inevitable especially when casting Ti Lung and Chow Yun-fat. Does it stand on its own merits or make you wish you’d started watching the original again?

The film starts with a recitation of a story that goes like a fairy-tale and by the time we are introduced to our protagonist, we realize in the back of our minds that this film is essentially a fairy-tale in itself. In fact, it is up to the author of the opening fable (Kauff) that plays a significant role in how Xiao-Wei’s love story turns out. Bracketed within the lore of a Forest Prince and Mermaid, this movie has a surprisingly simple plot, that is sensitive and heartrending in it’s portrayal of a 27 year old (with Down’s syndrome) falling in love for the first time.
What is interesting to note is that throughout the film, Tien Niu is dressed in white, symbolizing her as an almost saint-like, holy mother figure that goes so far as to disturb the relationships she has with other people in her life.
