Legend of the White Snake (1980)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

The thousand-year-old White Snake and Green Snake in Mount Emei, Sichuan, got bored, turned into charming girls, Bai Suzhen (Li Bingshu) and Xiaoqing (Fang Xiaoya), and traveled to Hangzhou's West Lake. Bai Suzhen catches a glimpse of Scholar Xu Xian (Lu Boping), who's suave and good-looking, and falls in love instantly.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
