A phenomenal movie that focuses more on the defensive strategies of those times than on mere grandeur in display of warfare. There was a slight blend of romance to illustrate the importance of differentiating conscious, purposeful love from indiscriminate, unconditional love.
There was a Chinese poem that sums up the show, but alas IMDb cannot display Chinese characters 飞鸟尽，良弓藏； 狡兔死，走狗烹； 敌国灭，谋臣亡
Literal translation is as follows - When all the birds are hunted, the good bow will be kept away. When all the hares are dead, the hunting dogs will be eaten. When all the enemies are destroyed, the loyal subjects will be killed.
Fantastic review by Dick too.
