Yup I thought the ending was a big F'ing lamo.
What's wrong with letting the 2 lovers walk off into the sunset?

So glad it turned out to be closer to a hk film than the recent big budget stuff coming from mainland directors
Andy lau did well in his role
Siege warfare was ok
Other things:
Early in the film, the jedi-like Ge Li simply mentioned his name and the city guards opened the gates for him. Granted he is just 1 person, but when the city is about to be attacked, security should be tighter, imo.
FBB as an officer of the elite cavalry unit??? Major Suspension of disbelief is in order.
Her character is of little significance, but bonus points for her death at the end, i hate happy endings.
Insufficient background coverage of the Mohist, I was really interested in this ancient group of people.
There was antiwar message somewhere but it was not effectively or forcefully conveyed.
At the end, I thought the part when the Zhao general and Ge Li went into the room to go mano-a-mano but ended up talking philosophically was silly and unrealistic. That the seemingly renowned, wise and accomplished general would turn this into some sort of macho personal duel is BS.

C'mon get ready......the future is now, the past is gone forever.....

Was the movie based on fiction or real life history?
It's based on a Japanese comic

One thing I don't understand was why there was a black guy in the movie. There were a few black slaves in 1500's-1600's brought in by portuguese. But in warring states period?

I think the black dud e in ther was supposed to symbolise how similar he is to Ge Li, in that they don't really fit in. i thought the ending was quite bitter, but quite well done. It shows the dark side of human nature, and how it would eventually ruin our lives. I thought it was stupid how the poeple hated teh king, yet cheered for him at teh end, If i were them, i would have ganged up and beat the wits out of him!

The black guy was nonsense, there were no Africans in China back in the warring states.
How Fan Bing Bing died was a perfect depressor for the viewers.
Ge Li tried so hard yet achieved nothing for his troubled soul that wished for goods.
And the poor prince.
wow finally a decent movie finally a good grand chinese production film that is not made artisticly w/ the flashy colors and people flying around. this is a very good movie 9.5/10
