“I was surprised at how little information there is about this movie. This stunning piece of work is definitely worth more international regconition. The Emperor of Qin (Ching Shi Huang Ti) is a very popular figure here in Asia and everyone knows him thru history classes and here, is one of my favourite movie on the depiction of Emperor Qin.(221-207 BC.)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI had always admire Jiang Wen , and his cute,playful,fiercesome and brutal protrayal of the emperor is wonderful. Ge You is also great and comical at times. Ge You have won the International film festival best actor award twice.One for u0026quot;To Liveu0026quot; the other for u0026quot;Keep Coolu0026quot;. Both movies by Zhang Yimou.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movies includes epic warfare, love, betrayal, friendship, stubborness, punishment, executions, tortures and power. Anything you should expect from and ancient epic, is all here.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe relationship of the two men in this movie is complicated, fascinating and touching. Full of emotions and feelings.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe entire movie from the beginning to the end are filled with gorgeous image and unbelivable scenarios. The opening sequence left me absolutely Speechless. The middle sequences left me in awe and terror and the final sequences left me in tears.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Emperoru0026#39;s Shadow is a tremendous hit here in Asia.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDo not believe some of the US critics who down grade this film. From what Iu0026#39;ve read, some doesnt understand the culture and the history and some are political minded. See it for yourself and you decide.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTrust me. We, here in Asia knows best.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWe came from our ancient ancestors of The Xia dynasty – ca.2000-1800 BC thru Qin,Han,Xin,Genghiz Khan to Kublai Khan who formed the Yuan Dynasty, and built the Imperial Palace (Forbidden City) and again thru Ming and finally Qing Dynasty (Empress Dowager Tsu Tzi /Aishin Goro Pu yi of Manchuria) to reach where we are in this modern world today 2001.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Emperoru0026#39;s Shadow is visually sumptuous, with great cinematography and engaging history. Even if you are not a history fan. The movie can be enjoy via its visuals,ceremonies and scenery.”
