this is a cool movie which reminds me of landmark Asian films as Akira Kurosawa's Ran from Japan and Zhang Yimou's own Hero and House of Flying Daggers, now the director of these movies brings a new movie called Curse of the Golden Flower which promises to be Zhang Yimou's most colorful and biggest production to movie yet, big time drama and romantic script with the best of contemporary martial arts kunfu. The movie is concerned with the volatile balance of power between the King who is Chow Yun Fat and the Queen who is played by Gong Li and his three sons, which entails betrayal, deceit and passion, pitting the King against Queen and father against sons.
