is the simple fact that when you are suppose to cast someone to be the most beautiful woman in the world, you need to cast Zhang Ziyi. Cecilia Cheung is very plain and bland and does not have the acting talent. Zhang Ziyi and the addition of much better special effects would have made this film desireable.
I loved Cheng Kaige "Together", but I think he has taken a step back with this film.

I think they're both pretty, really. But I thought it should've been Liu Yi Fei who acted...
Evey: I don't want you to die.
V: That's the most beautiful thing, you could have ever given me...

how about Michelle Reis? She's very beautiful.
shareYes.. let's cast Zhang Ziyi in every Asian movie under the sun, because obviously she's perfect for all female asian roles. Please, give me a break from the barrage of Ziyi acting and have some other asian actresses in movies for a change.
shareI totally agree with you man. Cecilia Cheung is way overrated. She's supposed to be the most beautiful woman in the world? Give me a break. Zhang Ziyi would've been perfect, but i think she probably didn't want to do this film because it was probably like another project she did Zu Warriors, which was a heavily fantasy martial arts story like The Promise.
All and all, Cecilia Cheung is pretty much a poor man's Zhang Ziyi. After all, i saw a movie by her that looked exactly like a B-movie version House of Flying Daggers. Too bad Kaige didn't realize that. Hiroyuki Sanada is sweet though, good job casting him.
"Master, let me take you back to the day she left."
Well Ziyi is not just the best Asian actress, she is simply the best actress in my opinion.
Cecilia was treated poorly in this film, dubbing her voice, then making her skin look ghoulish.
