The Warlords

This is a movie talking about a war between the Ching Dynasty and Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It is not a usual war film. It still has tremendous attacking frame, but what's more it has a great story. It is a story about three sworn brothers. The second and the third one were bandits The eldest was a general of Ching Dynasty. However, his army was annihilated by the Taping Heavenly Kingdom because the reinforcement didn't do anything to help them. After the eldest met the other one, he leading them with the villagers to be the army of Ching Dynasty. However, they didn't be treated candidly. What's more, they was put up to fright with enemy with insufficient airman and resources. Moreover, they won by their ability. However, the eldest was bafflement by authority. Hence, he killed his second brother to obtain authority. This made his third brother want to kill him.

This movie depicts a lot of detail of war from the mothers' tear to the yell of conquer. However, my personal love is the comparison of the famous sworn brothers of Three Kingdom to them. What a ironic comparison. The direct arrange a Chinese opera in the film when the second brother saw the play he cried. I think the play is with reason. The Ching Dynasty wants to make them to be the hero, so they compare the leading roles with the sworn brothers of Three Kingdom. However, the leading roles were disunite at that time. Hence, this little play aggrandizes the whole movie.

Most important of all, this is really a great movie.
