Comment About Plot Summary


I am still watching the movie (paused on my DVD player now) so I don't really have much comments yet but I'd like to make a short comment about the Plot Summary as presented in the IMDb page. The main protagonist is described as a warrior from the Mo-Tsu tribe.

I am not sure if the Mozi (Wade-Giles : Mo Tzu) ever organised themselves as a tribe but they were essentially followers of the philosophical school of Mohism (Pinyin : Mojia); a contemporary of the beginnings of Confucianism, Taoism and Legalism; which is referred to quite often in the movie when Ge Li first appeared in the city of Liang. It might be more probable that Ge Li belonged to the Mohist school/monastery and was a warrior-monk-philospher archetype akin to the later Shaolin monks.
