My Comment:
From the very beginning, I could feel the misery of the story. Even though it was about the plan of the Chinese republican uprising, it was centered on the "heroes" personal life. It's the drama of the crucial politic event in China. I also discovered that this movie implicitly delivered the culture shock between democratic (Western) and Imperialism (God-mandate). I really like that many great actors played in it. Mengke Bateer played in it! Even though some of the stories were fictional, I believe that it might occur in the past especially about sacrifices. However, I was hoping that Donnie Yen played a better role.
PS: I cried a lot...
