12. The Bride With White Hair
This film is something of a proverbial Romeo and Juliet story, the main difference being that the star-crossed lovers concept is replaced with aspects of what we might see in a film about a woman scorned and betrayed.
Very loosely based on Liang Yusheng's novel Baifa Monü Zhuan, Bride is an epic story of a love that is ruined. Martial arts are present in a largely fantastical display, but have more a necessary aspect in terms of conflict, as opposed to taking the front and center aspect away from storytelling. The Bride with White Hair is highly regarded among critics as one of the best Wuxia films ever made.

I'm a writer, a published author, and editor for a small independent publishing house. I'm an award winning producer of independent media, and I get to edit books, screenplays, and comics in my day to day. I love working on independent film & games, during my down time, as well as reviewing films while gobbling down milk duds (it's an addiction, I know). I've been called "Geek-Prime" among my peers for all the fandoms I work in, and I wear that title proudly. It's a passion, and an exercise in my growing profession, to get to write about what I love. Which happens to be a little of everything. But mostly film, comics, horror, games, anime, literature, and life. I do write about academic material, like politics, medicine, physics, and mathematics too. But for the most part, I like to keep things down to earth and simple. Follow me on Twitter & Facebook
