I think this is Director Zhang's most critical film. It uses semi-fictional historical themes and exaggerated killing scenes to express the emperor's selfish desires and political contradictions, which eventually led to the corpses of the subjects. It strongly satirized and criticized the centralized political system. China The traditional family-centered thinking, the patriarchal society, the hypocrisy of etiquette and loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, may also imply that the current government misuses certain concepts of Guoxue to maintain its rule. In addition, through pictures such as women's clothing, the open trend of the Tang Dynasty culture was emphasized. The film also had a lot of trendy elements at the time. There is a line with deep meaning in the film that I remember very well: All things in the world, I give you, it is yours; if I don't give it, you can't rob it. The high platform is round and the table is square. What is this called? This is called the circle of the sky and the place, and it is the rule to follow the rules of the world. In this circle, each of you occupies your own place. This is the rule of the ruler, the minister, the father and the son, loyalty, filial piety, courtesy and righteousness, and the rules cannot be messed up. Erchen knew that this battle could not be won, and he had to be killed or slashed, no matter what he did! The son just wanted to let the father and king know that the son's rebellion was not to grab the throne, but for the mother and queen! Take the amount of medicine and do things in moderation, you can't understand it. Mother: I'm not sick at all. King (Chow Yun-Fat): That's your opinion.
