Repurposed bovine waste. This is a movie with no character development, no cleverness, no real respect for Chinese culture and weird Judeo-Christian values jammed in for good measure. This is a weird AU fanfiction written by white people who have read no historical Chinese texts and watched half a bad period drama before they decided they could tell this story. Go watch Kungfu Panda, or just the animated version (which makes more sense as a story and at least understands Chinese peasants can’t afford bright purple fabric dye) and save yourself $40.
