Everyone's focus is different. I was going to give it three stars, but I ended up giving it four stars because I watched the film's interpretation of war. Throughout the whole film, Ying Zheng's grand plan to unify the six countries has always been the hegemony of Ying Zheng. The branch in the film is the contradiction between Ying Zheng's "bad faith" and Zhao's daughter and the emotional disputes of the previous generation. Ying Zheng portrayed in the branch stories paved the way for the main storyline, and Ying Zheng's forbearance, decisiveness, ruthlessness and good camouflage performance were all shown one by one. Don't look at what he says, look at what he does. The film cannot directly name what kind of person Ying Zheng is, and can only portray him through the storyline. These qualities of Ying Zheng are necessary for the king. It is precisely because he is such a person that he can take on the important task of unifying the six kingdoms. It is not an exaggeration to say that Ying Zheng betrayed Zhao Nv, because he is the king, and every decision is very difficult. Affecting Qin to a great extent, the momentary soft-hearted needs to be compensated by millions of Qin soldiers! In terms of ideology, the characters in the film are divided into two factions, one is the realistic objective faction of Ying Zheng, and the other is the ideal peace faction of Zhao Nu and others. Blood must be shed to unify the six kingdoms, and more blood must be shed to build a mighty nascent empire.
I think this is probably the difference between a king and an ordinary person!
However, in the battle to destroy Zhao, Ying Zheng started with a revenge mentality, and was persuaded by Zhao Nv to treat Zhao people kindly, but Ying Zheng's final decision was to slaughter the city without leaving Zhao people, because Ying Zheng saw the seeds of revenge in those children, That's so familiar! He looked at the ruined city wall next to him, he was afraid! What happened to King Zhao today will be what happened to King Qin tomorrow.
