	Musa review
		Musa recounts the dangerous voyage of a princess and her escort chased by a group of enemy warriors.
		Characters are poorly drawn and the themes "honor, fidelity, freedom and slavery" aren't enough to mask the true nature of Musa, an overzealous action film.
		While the landscapes and plot make Musa look like a "western in sandals", the use of clichés specific to American action cinema contrasts with the atmosphere and reduces the film's impact.

	Musa Dagh
		By the time the Armenians of the six villages at the base of Musa Dagh were instructed to evict their homes, the inhabitants had grown suspicious of the government's ultimate intentions and chose instead to retreat up the mountain and to defy the evacuation order.
		Musa Dagh, or the Mountain of Moses, stood on the Mediterranean Sea south of the coastal town of Alexandretta (modern-day Iskenderun) and west of ancient Antioch.
		Musa Dagh stood as the sole instance where the Western Allies at war with the Ottomans averted the death of a community during the Armenian Genocide.

	Musa: The Warrior (KOREA 2001)
		Joo Jin-Moo and Zhang Ziyi in Musa: The Warrior.
		Musa can also be praised for its attention to character development, as each warrior in the film goes from anonymous "arrow-fodder" to a much more defined character, each with a developing storyline.
		Musa: The Warrior is a spectacle with a message, an action movie with a heart.

	[KFCC] Musa Review
		In all actuality, MUSA is a beautiful and vicious tale of people of different cultures banding together in order to find their way home in the midst of tragedy.
		One of the most amazing aspects of MUSA is its ability to focus on the matter at hand while developing the characters that drive the heart of the film.
		MUSA is a great film that combines the same appealing attributes of war and historical films.

	Musa (2001) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The site contained lots of stills from the movie throughout, and every single one of them was utterly beautiful, like it had been painted to perfection rather than captured in motion.
		MUSA is epic in the word's biggest sense - I couldn't help thinking of Homer's ILIAD and ODDYSEY in many parts, and those are basically the two stories that the word 'epic' was invented for.
		The main flaw is that the movie wanders rather too far into melodrama and a little cliche towards the end.

	LoveAsianFilm.com - Musa : The Warrior (Korea 2001)
		In Musa he’s taken a large scale period drama epic and given it a dose of dramatic realism, which lacks nothing as a historical epic and yet has better action sequences then some Hollywood productions of a similar scale without having to resort to the use of CGI characters.
		Musa is a record breaker, having taken five years to make and being the most expensive move in Korean history with a budget of 8 million Korean dollars.
		I thoroughly enjoyed Musa watching such Chinese actors like Zhang Ziyi playing an helpless spoilt princess who matures at the end of the film and Yu Rong-guang as the Mongol general who plays his role superbly as the bad guy who didn’t give up.

		Musa is a powerful movie, but it is not without it's flaws.
		It sets the tone for hte rest of the movie, and prepares you for the fact that it might not be a happy movie.
		Probably one of the most beautiful shots in the movie is when we first see Princess Bu-yong, and her face is partially covered by a white veil blowing in the wind.

		Musa yells for her mother not to leave her, but her mother is no longer there.
		Musa uses "funky forcefield," a disco ball shield, to defend herself against the gargoyle, but she doesn't have enough magic for it to last very long.
		Musa seems to be emotionally weaker than Stella or Tecna, despite her tough front she likes putting up.

		IMDB users think that Musa is fantastic, but personally I thought this movie sucks.
		Musa is a Korean war epic that takes place in China, where the band of Korean warriors struggle the make it safely back home.
		The flow of the story is disruptive, the characters inconsistent, and suspension of disbelief becomes difficult when the character motivations are so thin.

	Korean Movie Reviews for 2001: My Sassy Girl, Musa, Friend, Take Care of My Cat, My Wife is a Gangster, Volcano High ...
		In fact, I suspect that the filmmakers, especially newcomer director O Ki-hwan, self-reflectively indicate their awareness of the movie's shameless melodramatics in the climactic gag sketch, in which the protagonist is seen squeezing his tear-drenched handkerchief like a wet towel.
		Musa is the story of a group of envoys sent to China who are arrested and then sent into exile.
		Musa is darker in mood than most blockbusters, with a brutality that leaves little room for romanticism.

		The movie moves swiftly with no slow parts, and though it is very gory, (everything gets lopped-off including the horses, guess they don't have PETA over there in Korea) I think the bloody scenes are not gratitious and thye are well justified.
		Musa is about a band of koreans on a diplomatic mission in China that goes array.
		Musa means warrior, and the movie does not focus so much on just one, but all of them.

		Through the initial confusion, color and mood, Musa’s primary intention is for the viewer to journey alongside the group.
		Technically the movie is fantastic with Kim Hyung-ku’s striking cinematography paired with an engaging score that haunts and uplifts with the same tune.
		The color palette is rather limited but is effective, as the sky and the water never break away from the paleness and yellow that their journey is covered with.

	Musa Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net
		With this bit of historical fact, veteran South Korean director Kim Sung-su has fashioned the historical epic "Musa" (also known as "Wu shi" in China), a Korean-Chinese co-production that conjectures what might have happened to the missing envoy.
		With a budget of $8 million US, "Musa" is probably the most expensive Korean movie in history.
		For example, the film's numerous battle scenes, often involving hundreds of extras and edits, are certainly impressive to watch, reminiscent of the opening scene of "Gladiator", or the grand battle scenes in Chen Kaige's "The Emperor and the Assassin (Jing ke ci qin wang)".

		If there is such a thing as an Global Movie Awards, Musa will definitely give Hollywood epic movies in the veins of Gladiator, Last Samurai and Braveheart a run for their money.
		I saw this movie about a week ago on a recommindation from a friend and I gotta say I was blown away.
		I am half-Korean, so I wanted to buy some movies from the "motherland" lol..........but I didn't buy Musa until I knew of some people who actually saw it....and I bought it this past week and I have to say, it is perhaps one of the best movies in my collection.

		Sung-su Kim's Musa tells the story of the members of an embassy from the Korean kingdom of Koryo to the newly established Ming court in China who become embroiled in the conflict between the Mings and the Mongol Yuan dynasty they overthrew.
		The remainder of the movie details their trek across Northern China and the conflicts among the members of the embassy, especially that between the general and Yeo-sol, a freed slave (Woo-sung Jung).
		While Musa is a violent movie, the acts of brutality depicted evoke a sense of the dangers and hardships faced by the protagonists.

		Set in 1375 and shot in Liaoning Province, "Musa" focuses on a band of Chinese and Korean escapees on the run from a brutal warlord (played by distinguished action star Yu Rbngguang of "Iron Monkey" fame).
		Let's be honest and say that throughout, "Musa" gains limitless appeal thanks to her excellent performance and charm.
		In spite of a slow first half, the movie manages to pick up pace and culminates in a final scene grand not only due to its intense action, but thanks to superb imagery and great emotion.

		Then again, with the level of effort and detail put into making movies these days, the director of the film, and not the actor/actress, would be the one ultimately blamed if a piece of bad acting appeared on the big screen.
