This early Brigitte Lin film is based on the same Chinese folk tale that Tsui Hark later used as his source for The Green Snake. It is the story of two sister snakes that want to feel what it is to be human and one of them needs to know what it is to feel human love. It is a sweet magical but ultimately tragic tale of breaking societal taboos. (letterboxd)

What a fun movie. It's fast paced and full of humor and magic. I've seen a couple different versions of this film and this just might be my favorite one. The sad thing is how they show the religious group brake a part the happy family because they didn't feel like it was a good match and protected the man against his wishes because the wife wasn't like him. This has a seriously down beat and tragic ending.
