(Surround Sound 4) Curse of the Golden Flower :: 满城尽带黄金甲 ::

Actors: Chow Yun-Fat, Gong Li, Liu Ye, Chen Jin & Jay Chou

Synopsis: A period high drama that concerns the volatile balance of power between the King and the Queen and his three sons, which entails betrayal, deceit and passion--pitting the King against Queen and father against sons.

My Comments (3/5): Zhang Yimou did it again with his color choreographic direction, but much lesser to my disappointment compared to his 2004 (Rating: 5/5) Movie "Hero" [英雄], with color symbology with Red {imagination},Green {enlightenment/peace}, Blue {perceived reality}, White (truth) and Black {vengeance}.

You know what is expected next from each scene of the show 满城尽带黄金甲, and Jay performance was a let down for a movie making it into Hollywood. However, it was still well taken thanks to the director and actors Gong Li and Chow Yun-Fat.
