Fire, Flags, Blood, Red and Yellow
3 April 1999
An amazing movie. Powerful, long and beautiful. Two great scenes especially: great balls of fire running down the hills and an arrowed-fest assassination attempt. Bloody battles, hundreds of horses and spectacular costumes in powerful fighting scenes. Political intrigues, prisoners, war and peace tactics; I don't know how accurate it is, but it's an interesting way to learn history. Li Gong is breathtaking as usual, as the woman behind- everything. Honor, deceit, love, betrayal, loyalty and trust all in an overwhelming epic about ruling disputes in China circa 200 BC. A bit rough and tough but highly recommended. It is very sorrowing that good movies don't get the attention they well-deserve.
