The Emporer and the Assassin

On right now on channel 3.

It's a must watch if you are into asian history as it portrays the life and sacrifices of the man who unified and became the first Emporer of China.

Epic movie with no "special effect" as all of the extras you see in the movie are real. Supposedly they have 250,000 people running around during the war scene.

Great flick - I was up till 3 watching it. Huge eye opener with regards to high Chinese culture at that time. And that chick was smoking hot, even with the branding.

At the end, they said his tomb was protected by terra cotta warriors - is that this:

This is why I want to travel in China.

i rented this movie...and i have some thoughts

SPOILER WARNING

ok so he was a great man even though he was so demonized because he unitied china so there were no more wars after, at least between provinces...

if you want to know a little bit more about this, rent Hero with jet li it happens later on in his lifetime....
