Hi guys! have you wacthed this film? Well, if you're fond of watching a Chinese epic movie, i suggest you to try watch it... It's a great epic story in the era of Tang dynasty, played by some of the famous actors and actresses like Choi Yung Fat and Gong Li. I was fascinated by the costumes used on this film, as well as the setting and the story and actionpart of the movie...
Here's the summary of the film care of Star pulse:
A dying love between two powerful people leads to deceit, infidelity, and conspiracy in this epic-scale historical drama from director Zhang Yimou. During the latter days of the Tang dynasty, the Emperor (Chow Yun-Fat) returns home from the war with his son Prince Jai (Jay Chou) in tow. However, the monarch gets a chilly reception from the Empress (Gong Li); though she's eager to see her son, her marriage has become deeply acrimonious, and she's taken a lover, Crown Prince Wan (Liu Ye), her stepson from the Emperor's first marriage. The Emperor, meanwhile, has his own plan for dealing with his failing marriage -- he's ordered the Imperial Doctor (NI Dahong) to find an exotic drug that will drive the Empress insane and administer it to her without her knowledge. However, the doctor's ethical dilemma is intensified by the fact his daughter Chan (Li Man) has fallen in love with Crown Prince Wan and the two wish to elope. As the Emperor and Empress allow their estrangement to sink into violence and retribution, their youngest son, Prince Yu (Qin Junjie), struggles to keep the peace in the household.

Chow Yun Fat, one of the biggest stars in the entire world and Gong Li from Memoirs of a Geisha star in this sweeping drama/action movie about a powerful emperor (Fat), his royal family and sons, and the poisoned Empress (Li). It is double and triple crossing of family members and incredible battle scenes between massive forces of fighters. The imagery is impressive like most of these movies (like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, etc) and it really shows a different type of martial arts film. I liked it. It is long and slow in parts, but the final scenes make it all worth it IMO.
worth renting if you like this type of movie.
