Such a great film about ancient China. Martial arts fights about honor and respect, and they are so much fun to watch. Blood is rarely seen, and you rarely see people actually die except for like, two or three scenes. There is sexual moaning, but nothing seen.
The first Emperor is first seen as an evil tyrant, and the hero Nameless seems rather distant and cold, but as the true meaning of the war is brought, you see the change and troubles in their lives. One who wants to kill the king, and one who wants to keep him alive to unite China. That, and both the Emperor and Master Nameless both said that the warrior's ultimate goal is to end all war and have peace. Well, Nameless didn't actually say that, but you can tell he agreed by his next action. The down side is, the story is so complex and it goes back and forth, it takes one skilled in subtitles and other complex movies to really understand it. I won't spoil anymore, but, martial arts fans, this is the movie to watch. And it's untainted by bad English actors and kept in Chinese to make it educational about Chinese culture and language.
