Curse Of The Golden Flower ? DVDRip with English Subtitles
From renowned director Zhang Yimou ? Curse of the Golden Flower, a fictionalized historical glimpse into the brutally complicated politics of Emperor Ping?s reign during the Tang Dynasty, shows the viewer just how far a megalomaniac must go to gain and retain power in medieval China. Lavish sets, massive ceremonial displays, and perversely fascinating battle scenes impress similarly to the special effects the world have come to love and expect from Chinese action films like Zhang Yimou?s previous House of Flying Daggers and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

An intricate plot involving the Emperor?s wife, Empress Phoenix and their three sons, Crown Prince Xiang, Prince Jie, and Prince Cheng, most closely follows the Empress?s secret plan to force abdication upon her corrupt husband as revenge for his slowly poisoning her with Black Fungus tea. Opening on the eve of the Chysanthemum Festival, 928 A.D., the Empress obsessively embroiders gold chysanthemums to adorn her army?s uniforms while hatching plans with Jai to overthrow the Crown Prince for control of the throne. Meanwhile, a side plot develops as the Emperor?s ex-wife and mother to Crown Prince Yu reemerges as Yu?s lover. By the time the Festival occurs, family members are pitted against each other in a King Lear-ian web of lies that can only result in demise. The most sophisticated narrative aspect of Curse of the Golden Flower is that as the royal family crumbles, the Emperor?s death grip on China remains unwavering. Gorgeous scenes set in the palace and costume design displaying China?s upper class decadence cannot fail to entertain. The paradox between good and evil, here, is highlighted by how the Emperor successfully rules despite, and because of his utter cruelty.
