lau Posted January 14, 2008 at 01:12 AM Report Posted January 14, 2008 at 01:12 AM I need some help here. Apart from the 英雄 (Hero), in what other chinese films does Qin Shi Huang appear? Any series, maybe? I would want to see more of him on film/TV, but I have no idea where to start looking. Quote

gato Posted January 14, 2008 at 02:08 AM Report Posted January 14, 2008 at 02:08 AM http://imdb.com/title/tt0162866/ "The Emperor and the Assasin" directed by Chen Kaige http://imdb.com/title/tt0125994/ "The Emperor's Shadow" directed by Zhou Xiaowen And here is a good overview: http://www.illuminatedlantern.com/cinema/archives/qin_dynasty.php Qin Dynasty The films in this section can be divided into two types. The first four are historical biopics, each with massive budgets, casts of thousands, expansive sets, and extended running times. The second four bring the Qin Dynasty to the present, using as their main vehicle the Terracotta Warriors. Time travel or reincarnation also plays a part. Amazingly, the four biopics overlap only slightly. Watching them all, in the right sequence, can give the viewer a nearly complete overview of the Qin Dynasty. The Emperor's Shadow starts earliest, with scenes of the First Emperor's childhood, and goes up through the unification of the states. Jing Ke, the assassin, appears for mere moments in this film, but it is this character which picks up the story in The Emperor and the Assassin. The Emperor and the Assassin covers roughly the same time period as The Emperor's Shadow, but fleshes out entirely different incidents in his life. Having seen these two, the viewer may be ready to see the big picture, the First Emperor's entire reign, from beginning to end, in The Great Wall. Many of the characters are less clear here, and the episodes shorter, but seeing the other two pictures first allows the viewer to appreciate and recognize some characters and subplots which might otherwise have been confusing. Finally, The Great Conqueror's Concubine begins with Qin Shi Huangdi's death and traces the turmoil that erupts afterwards. Quote
