Last weekend, I was looking to escape and decided to checkout the Jackie Chan and Jet Li film. It's was quite entertaining. As I watched, I thought about recent fantasy and adventure films such as Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. The martial arts fight scenes were great, and the host of characters held my attention for the duration of the film. I must say that the film was successful in taking me away for just over an hour. The Monkey King is an inspiring fable!
Oh...I was also able to make connections to lectures, films, and literature from the seminars which made the film even more enjoyable.
