Comments:
Again to bring you another movie from director Zhang Yimou. The film follows the line of his two other films, following the political side of "Hero" and melodramatic romantic side of "the clan of the flying daggers." Disagreements about the history of the Emperor Ping (Chow Yun-Fat) and Empress Phoenix (Gong Li) and other secrets of the palace.
As in previous films, the director Yimou account again with a fantastic art direction, with beautiful costumes and great photos. As you have noticed, Yimou loves to work the colors and this film is no exception. Even the costumes are with their costumes and colors and detail adequately correct. The visual effects left to be desired, because of computer graphics, the battle in which many soldiers were created digitally, but still it is exciting to see.
The choreography is excellent in the same style as the previous films of Yimou. I hope you enjoy the movie, despite being a drama, with stories and images very good. XD

My Comments

The Promise is one of the best photos I have seen. The next in line of The Dragon and Tigre. The scenes of war seem more dancing than fighting itself, but that does not minimize the glamor that the movie shows. A story engaging and profound, and a final surprise that surpassed my expectations.

It is worthwhile to be seen, I recommend.

Comments

This film follows the line "The Dragon and Tigre" drama, fights mirabolantes in the air and cunning of women. With a masterful photography, Enemies of the Empire is a new vision of Hamlet, where the "to be or not" is not the main issue, but rather, how far you can get for what you want.
