    I actually hit the next level in Mandarin by watching this movie once a day for a month.

    Their diction and rhythm is uncommonly clear in this movie and the patterns sunk in after a few viewings so that I could finally understand Mandarin instead of just speaking it.

    It was as effective as being in a language class but then every few minutes the teacher would break out in acrobatic sword fights and recapture your attention.
