遍地菊花 血泪光

满城尽待黄金甲

A very very very very GOLDEN show.

A show with a lot of "bouncings". The designs for the female costumes couldnt be any worse.. I had this thot thru'out the show, "The cloth in front is so low.. did it ever slip off? Squeeze until so tight, wun it be easy to jus pop out to see the world?" Super gross costume. N after seeing so many bouncings, the Imperial Physician's wife, who was also the Emperor's ex-wife and 元祥's birth mother, stands out with her flat, no asset front. Really 暴露其弱点.

The 2 big shots, 周润发 & 巩俐, can really see their power and experience through their acting. 周润发 makes a freaking good power-obsessed emperor who is a bit psycho thou the bird initially thot it was 雄霸 of 风云. 巩俐, an empress on the verge of going crazy, frantically embroidering chrysanthemums, 偶尔暴青根 but she reminds me of the Geisha show when her hair is messy and all over the place.

杰王子.. soooo coooool.. Since when his speech is so clear? The clothes looks good, the swordplay is good, jus his acting needs more training. The eyes are either flickering around when its a touching scene, or they look like those of a dead fish.

But still.. 杰王子!!~~

The whole setting, is damn cool. The 声势浩大 场面壮观 scene really whelms me. The thousands of "metalled" and "goldened" soldiers, the millions of chrysanthemums, the courtyard full of 宫女s， 公公s， 打杂的s, etc etc, the fireworks (dat time got fireworks? Looks fake leh.), the cleaning up of the courtyard from the aftermath of a battle with thousands of dead and bloodied body, to removing the bodies, washing away the blood, replanting the pots of chrysanthemums orderly, recarpeting the place. ALL in a short period of time.

Then the colors, either yellow or gold. VERY Very sparkling. Maybe it would be more comfortable to watch it with shades.

All in all, a good show! Other than the vigorous obscene bouncings that is.
