Movies Watched: January 2020
In 2019 I did a pretty terrible job of watching movies, particularly good ones. I definitely got burnt out a bit from these past 6 years, plus along with life changes it allows only so much time for films. I also got into some TV shows and they dominated a lot of my screen time. I went through the Office, Brooklyn 99, and several other shows throughout the year. Going to try and do my best for 2020, though, because movies are still my passion and there’s nothing better than finding a true classic. Stay tuned.

Yoh's disciples hunt Chi relentlessly as he travels on a soul-searching journey. He comes to the aid of a seemingly bumbling man who hardly takes even life-threatening scenes seriously. The man Chi saved starts following him on the road, explaining that he's looking for someone who committed a grievous, unforgivable wrong. As the two travel on the road, it starts to become clear that Chi's companion is more than he seems: he's actually a very skilled martial artist, and his boots contain short blades that he can attach to his sleeves. Chi finally tells his companion his story: he's seeking out a renowned swordsman named Cheuk Yi-fan... not to kill him, but to die at his hand. Chi is haunted of the last job he did with the gang, slaughtering many of Cheuk's family and friends... and Chi himself slew Cheuk's pregnant wife. Chi's companion agrees to help Chi with his mission. But when the two arrive at Yoh's stronghold intent on killing him, Yoh recognizes Chi's companion as none other than Cheuk Yi-fan himself.
