      "The gates of hell will be destroyed"

      "If you don't talk to me, the gates of hell will be destroyed, and I will destroy everything"

      This is Ayu's monologue when his mother was killed. In the film, he only loves two women in his life, one is his first love - his mother. The other is the warrior he met when he traveled - Kava.

      Ayu, who does not pursue fame and fortune, or I prefer to call him Pa Wang. When both of his defense lines collapsed, he probably really lost the desire to survive, and the devil was born,...

      Love "Ashoka"

      Just finished watching "Ashoka", and then read the movie reviews of netizens. Ending: While the little prince is still alive, we seem to see hope, as Ashoka clearly wants to return the throne to him, and then he has a shred of hope for the woman he loves the most. However, he died... Let people see hope in despair, and then shatter the last hope. This is fate.

             Overall, the story is very engaging. King Ashoka was a concubine prince, brave and resourceful, but forced to leave his...

      The mighty Ashoka

      To be honest, a lot of people don’t like the songs and dances in Indian movies. In fact, it’s a kind of culture. I personally think that the songs and dances in Indian movies are very good. It's very charming. Ashoka was the first Indian movie I watched. Since then, it has been out of control. When I saw the three episodes of the death of the princess, the death of the mother, and the death of Aya, I really cried. After that, Shahrukh Khan’s films were basically finished. I watched a lot of...

      Ashoka: Bodhidharma who put down the butcher's knife

      Prince Ashoka was transformed into the devil Ashoka after being stimulated by the murder of his mother, conquered the whole of India, and finally became King Dharma Ashoka because of the death of the little prince Aya and the hatred of the princess. He proposed to use love to influence people's hearts, and the twin children born by Ayu's Buddhist wife also carried forward the new Buddhism all over the...

      love in my eyes

      King Ashoka's journey of love and peace will not treat the princess badly. They will always be the people who love each other the most, and the princess will not love a selfish person. She also hopes that King Ashoka can atone for her sins. .

      Love doesn't even need to be in love with each other,

      The tragic ending I thought as a child may be a happy ending

      Everyone's life has a theme. The theme of Ashoka and Yang Guo in the movie is love. A life with love as the theme will...

      Contrasted with imagined. There are more stylized plots, not epic, just a love movie. It's impossible to say no, but the problem is that this is King Ashoka. Isn't it a waste of subject matter for you to apply this kind of plot. Surprisingly, this movie reminded me of the Famen Temple conjecture, that arya is the fifth brother. It's so desirable to have the bloodline of a warrior. Shahrukh Khan's eyes are truly stunning. If Ding Haifeng had a more noble temperament, he would have a bit of his...

      The history of India is not very clear. Judging from the film alone, it is a sad love story. The singing and dancing need not be praised as India's strength. The singing and dancing are very similar to the MV. Aya is very cute and very...

    The film portrays a wise, victorious, rough, cruel, unwilling to be conquered, Ashoka the Great who also possesses a chivalrous intestine. This film touches not only the love in the film, but also the very Indian ethnic style music surrounding it. The film is touching, and the poignant emotional entanglement blends wonderfully with the grand audio-visual scene. The music arrangement in this film is very ingenious and systematic. Songs,...
