The Bride with White Hair (traditional Chinese: 白髮魔女傳) is a 1993 Hong Kong wuxia film directed by Ronny Yu.
Yu referred to the film as a “Romeo and Juliet” story; the lovers’ struggle against fate and their heroic duty inspired him more than the familiar trappings of most martial arts adventures.
Although the film is in fact based on another written source, the main themes of Shakespeare's play shine through: feuding clans, each full of pride and arrogance, and each culpable for transgressions against the common people and each other; two lovers rejecting the bonds of conflict and hoping to build a life for themselves outside the world to which they belong; fate and the demands of honor creating an impossible barrier.([1])
