The biggest beneficiary at the end of the story is the heroine, and then the heroine or the heroine's son will come to power.
The following are speculations based on the above facts:
The heroine is a very politically ambitious person, who wants to be a 'female Caesar' (the father-daughter dialogue at 21 minutes and 25 seconds began to hint, and she showed political enthusiasm when her younger brother was in power), long-sleeved and good at dancing, manipulating the forces of both sides to make both sides lose. , to reap the benefits of the fisherman and let himself succeed in the upper position. The ending was in her hands.
The dragon slayer finally became a dragon, what happened after he ascended the throne? It was, of course, another boring repetition of the story, and the republic would never come.
So this may be the hidden story of this film, a heroic epic under a gorgeous exterior, but a dark political allegory hidden.
It's strange that I searched the comment area and didn't see the same opinion as me.
