I think the purpose is to show the audience that at that court and in that country everything must
be run by the established rules and according to the time assigned. The announcements tell people
the time and what they should do at that time. Everything must be very orderly (as the king says
有規矩). They also tell people what each hour (two hours actually) is supposed to mean.

Isn't that 张艺谋's style? It reminds me of the athens olympics closing ceremony...

well if it's his style to display boobs falling out, then he's a pervert... and i like him


but what do the hours mean? i dont understand anything those people say... some kind of poem or
something..

btw anyone know the name of the doctor's daughter? more pictures? i thought she was cute

I have not watched the movie yet even though it is shown in the local theaters and know more or
less the movie is about boob/incest/palace intrigue.

However, I wonder how come this movie, which concentrates on the royal court, adopts its title
from a poem of 黃巢 -- a proletariat revolutionary/bandit/murder maniac (defined according to
your own political inclination):

不第後賦菊

待到秋來九月八，我花開後百花殺。 沖天香陣透長安，滿城盡帶黃金甲。

And I heard Zhang Yimou has changed the film title several times before he adopted this one. Any
clue?










skylee -

Probably because the story takes place before / on Chong Yang Festival (Chrysanthemum Festival)
[九月八] and the flower [菊] plays an important part in the film.

doctor's daughter's name? pics?

The doctor's daughter's name is 蔣嬋 (Jiang Chan). The actress' name is 李曼 (Li Man). You can
find her pictures here.

Does he think boobs and legs are a symbol of classiness or something? His command on colors and
cinematics is world class, but his girls ruined it all.

does anyone know where I might find the screenplay (or for that matter, the chinese/english
subtitles)?

Danwei gathered some reviews and criticism here and here.

One quote that struck me: "If we've spent that much money to tell the public that good cannot
overcome evil, then the director is a real bastard."

Not sure what to make of it. Is that what Zhang Yimou wants to say? Does he want to say anything
at all? It'd be interesting to review some of his older movies with this assumption in mind. If I
remember correctly, the end of House of Flying Daggers has a lot of intrigues surfacing and the
main actors dying, too?

I don't really like the end of that film.
I am not good at guessing the outcome.
It's either yes or no but no maybe.
