It's sometimes hard to follow the story, because alot of things happen off-screen. But the movie's worth the download for the fabulous fight scenes alone. Please seed the movie if you like it, my upstream is rather small.
.: Story :.
"Legend of Gingko" is a period action film that resembles a South Korean "Conan", with its broadswords and realistic fighting style merged with a soap opera vibe -- i.e. heavy melodrama and predictable love affairs. The film opens with an existing ancient feud between two warring tribes that resides around a giant mountain called Mount Holy; one tribe has become prosperous, while the other live in a miserable part of the land where food doesn't grow and they have to resort to "eating the flesh of their dead" for sustenance. The not-so-happy tribe creates a Holy Sword that can destroy the Mountain and the other tribe, but first they must sacrifice a young girl name Vee (Jin-shil Choi) in order to "power" this supernatural sword. And before you know it, a lot of people – and I do mean a lot – are losing their heads in combat.
