The fencing scene at the movies always ends on a high note as heroes deliver fatal thrusts to the enemy's sword. In fact, this happens so consistently that one starts wondering why film-makers still stick with this format. Is it the lack of new ideas or does the formula simply work? After all, a good plot never hurt any movie. On-screen heroes never stumble; their blades dance in perfect synchrony, delivering blows to the opposing fencer as if choreographed by an invisible conductor. And even when a hero's skill is stretched beyond reasonable limits, they somehow always land that perfect hit, no matter how absurd it looks. The outcome is all too predictable - just another action-packed film where everyone else falls down after facing one or two opponents with the final victory reserved for our fearless hero. Despite such an oversimplified depiction of a sport where precision and strategy come first, this particular scene still works as it allows viewers to temporarily disconnect from reality. The art of sword fighting in cinema is something people have become accustomed to watching without ever really being engaged. We all sit quietly while actors display various sword styles we might not be familiar with or pay attention to, completely enthralled by what our favorite movie stars are saying on screen - but this will continue only if it remains easy for producers to shoot.
