Review:

  

       The movie is very inspiring event though its fictional, i assure that everyone can relate from this movie it have lots of important messages for everyone. Most people think fictions are just for entertainment, but this movie give values that we don't usually give attention.

      "Everyone of us is capable of making our own destiny."-Prince Dastain, Of all the line in the movie this line inspire me the most it simply convey that everyone of has  his own right to  become who he want to be you just need to find the courage to do so. Do not let our past hold us down but use this as stepping stone to go forward. God is there to remind us for what is good and what is bad but the last decision is always on us.

     "You have home, family, wealth, respect and everything a man could ask but still you are not contented for what you have."-Prince Dastain. The protagonist  is a thief low life and an orphaned before the King found him in the market. He doesn't have everything before but the King provide him everything that's why he love and respect the family who adopted him. It was such a shame and pity to know somebody like Mi Zhanmu, who didn't treasure the thing he have. Mostly people are blind to see the things already have, they are too greedy and selfish to treasure it.

      Lastly is about the magical ability of the dagger to travel back to the past,. In our life sometimes we do things that we regret after. That sometimes makes us wish to return back and change it, but those thing happen already we should learn from it and move on. We should remember that god won't let such thing happen if its not for our own good, mistakes make people grow.

     The movie is great, the actors are good and the special effects is merely fascinating. The stuns are unbelievable,  my favorite part is when Dastain jump on a very high post to open the gate. It was like a perfect dive, so stunning. In short everything is awesome no need to spell it out. It deserve watching in big screen or not.

..FIN..
