Forget about the Warners Brothers. The Shaw Brothers rock the cinema! These movies you can see in the picture of this notebook entry are what I call movies. All the actors there are real fighters who would have no problem to fight with swords or even their bare hands if there is no camera around. Those people are to me real chinese. What would be a chinese without a sword? Only when a sword is in his/her hands he/she is the whole Yin and the whole Yang at the same time. The Shaw Brothers made a lot movies during the 50s to 80s. All maybe with quite the same stories and stuff but who cares? They show us what real martial arts are. Sure Europe also made many movies with Romans, Greeks etc. during the same time. Thats why the movies of the Shaw Brothers were called "Easterns" because they were coming from the east while the "Westerns" came from the west. But the romans etc. just take a sword and strike. The chinese take a sword and make art out of the fighting. Many of them even do not need a sword but fight with their bare hands which is called Gong Fu. Not even the japanese with their Samurai can reach such a high level of martial arts. So here it is my Shaw Brothers collection. A few of them I already have for years but the most I just bought on Amazon. Of course its still not all movies ever made of the Shaw Brothers but that would be too much also and I'm not a millionaire. My favourite actor in these movies is Cheng Pei-Pei (sadly she is just in 2 of these movies) mostly known for her classical movie "Come drink with me". In the same movie also Yueh Hua played who is in a few of the movies and was often used when the movie had to be perfect. And when I think about that in the ancients and middle ages all chinese were able to fight like this... wow! No wonder they were always at war to test the strengh between the kingdoms and no country ever was able to take control of China. And don't say now the mongols had once a dynasty there. They were not able to control the whole China they just controlled a piece. I like more to see a sword fight rather then a gunfight. Its much more art. Its much more beauty. It is what has China made powerful for over thousands of years. I just can recommend anyone of these movies I show you here though I just saw a few of them already cause I just bought all the others new. Believe me its worth your time especially for you chinese out there to see what your ancestors did and what you shall follow. Do not lose your traditional arts. They are too important for China to throw them away!
