I took my three kids to see this movie.. OMG we sat on the front row watching and it came to that part. Im 34 and i cried. It was so sudden and unexpected for me. I'm gonna go pick up the book this week. Acting cannont express the hurt and loss in a movie like a book can.
The only other book that moved me to tears was a Dragonlance novel where Sturm Brightblade died defending the keep from Kititara an evil dragon rider. He wasnt even a knight in the eyes of his fellow knights but upheld the code given down by generations.
My daughter turned to me and hugged my arm saying its ok, she isnt gone she still is there in that fairy land.

It means only one thing, and everything: Cut. Once committed to fight, Cut. Everything else is secondary. Cut. That is your duty, your purpose, your hunger. There is no rule more important, no commitment that overrides that one. Cut. The lines are a portrayal of the dance. Cut from the void, not from bewilderment. Cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. Cut with certainty. Cut decisively, resoultely. Cut into his strength. Flow through the gaps in his guard. Cut him. Cut him down utterly. Don't allow him a breath. Crush him. Cut him without mercy to the depth of his spirit. It is the balance to life: death. It is the dance with death. It is the law a war wizard lives by, or he dies.
