Mulan

No, not the Disney film but the Wuxia version made in 2009.


It's a sad story on the nature of war, loss and love. Mulan (played by Zhao Wei, who played the General's wife in Painted Skin) joins the army, in place of her father who is too ill, to defend her nation against marauding tribesmen. Gradually, one battle after another, she rises to the rank of General, but things get complicated when she falls for another officer.

Quite a good movie and the pace is kept up with some ferocious battle scenes.
