Stop making this great film into propaganda! Because it isn't.

Rating: Null/10 (20 February 2003)

Mr. BUSH=QIN Emperor, Cult, powerful, with good motivation (may be?) but yet stupid heart that eventually will cause many people's lives! This movie is not propaganda!! It is another way to portrays HISTORY yet ironically is repeating in the current world!!! It explains why there are people willing to die for Bush but yet not necessary will end with good consequences!! It portrays why so many soldiers (Were willing to fight in Vietnam wars but yet that was the war considered as waste of American's Lives!
This movie explores some morality issues that are similar to western philosopher, Kant's Foundations of the Metaphysics of Morals, which states that "An Action performed from duty has its moral worth in the motive of dutifulness and not in the consequences of the action". This means an ethics of motive, only derivatively an ethics of intention, and not at all a consequentialist ethics)
Don't you ever have experience that you ware trying to do something good but end up bad at the end? This is what this movie is trying to portray, a person with good heart, good intention, loyalty, but yet still have a loved heart, is hero. However Hero doesn't necessarily will end with good consequences. This movie is trying to portray and explore individual aspects of serving the country and the world, and how ones become a hero. Hero for love, Hero for loyalty, hero with courage and good intention! There isn't only one HERO in this movie! There are many in this movie, which the director said in the premiere of this film. Yimou, also said that in this movie he isn't really trying to define HERO but rather portraying different aspects of being HERO.
I hope you guys will enjoy and truly understand this film.
