The Emperor And The Assassin (VCD) (China Version) VCD

Acclaimed Fifth Wave director Chen Kaige directs The Emperor and the Assassin, a stirring epic based on the same historical events that inspired Zhang Yimou's Hero! During the Third Century, Emperor Ying Zheng (Li Xuejian) promises to unite the warring states of China peacefully, but paranoia and the power of the throne take their toll. His zeal to unite the land becomes less about prosperity and more about personal ambition, and the people of China are the ones who pay the price. His concubine and true love, Lady Zhao (the spectacular Gong Li), is concerned for the masses, but her influence on Ying Zheng cannot stop his mad thirst for power. Ultimately, China's destiny falls into the hands of Jing Ke (Chang Feng I of Farewell, My Concubine), a reluctant assassin who plots to kill Ying Zheng, and hopefully restore power to the people. The players are set, and the pieces set in motion. Only the outcome remains...

Sweeping history and intimate drama collide in The Emperor and the Assassin, a sumptuous epic about the struggles - and the consequences - of uniting a land. Chen Kaige mixes the pageantry and epic scope of Ancient China with psychological nuance and character drama. Featuring astonishing performances from Li Xuejian, Gong Li and Chang Feng I, The Emperor and the Assassin is an engrossing work about one of China's most turbulent times.
