There are two symbols in this movie, the golden armor and the chrysanthemum. The chrysanthemum is not a symbol of good luck in China. The queen embroiders the chrysanthemum, which means the same ending. The golden armor is both gold and armor, power and ruthlessness. The second prince Sentient beings have never worn golden armor.
The queen is the daughter of King Liang, and later became the queen. He has never been an ordinary person. She is probably the most ruthless in the whole play. Although he looked so pitiful.
The queen hated the king, I don't know where the hatred came from, maybe because of the portrait that was hanging, he was going to destroy the king's sons.
First, he seduced the eldest son. The eldest son was born to poor and humble parents. At that time, the king was not a king, so he was the most affectionate one. Although weak, he was kind. Liu Ye's performance in the whole drama is always distorted and nerve-wracking. I think this feeling is right, not because of his poor acting skills, but because everyone doesn't understand why he is like this.
Then there is his own second son. If Jiang Taiyi knew that more than 10,000 chrysanthemums were given to the Ministry of War, it is impossible for Wang to not know why he blatantly made a failure. Going to drink medicine is just a skill. The king either kills his second son and is accused of murdering his son, or he keeps his second son from killing him to experience the pain of betrayal and separation. The second son is an ignorant sacrifice. In the main film, Jay Chou's The eyes are always awake, I don't know if this is the reason.
This woman's viciousness is also reflected in her eldest son's biological mother. He knew that the king deliberately went to worship after Jiang Taiyi was placed. He just told the king that you kept telling the world that she was gone, so the king sent people to hunt down and kill Jiang Taiyi's family. , he may also send someone to send the mother and daughter to the palace to tell the eldest prince in person, this is your mother, this is your sister, so the eldest prince asked her, why did you say it, this is forcing the eldest son to death, A person who has no nerves under this kind of pressure is already very strong.
The queen only has herself in her eyes, and it seems that he loves the eldest son, and it may just be that the eldest son's true feelings arouse some of her true feelings, but what she really loves is her own desire and her own hatred.
This is completely different from the thunderstorm story.
What a beautiful family that looks like from the outside, loyal, filial, courteous, and harmonious in Chongyang. The husband personally prescribes medicine for his wife. In fact, he kills his father and kills his son. It is incest, ruthless, and without loyalty. What are the chrysanthemums sent by Wanduo, they are just victims of conspiracy, they are not regarded as living beings, they are just some kind of tools and bargaining chips.
Desires rise and fall in the Forbidden City, like the waves on everyone's chest. Director Zhang's most emotional scene is at the end of the film, where he sends a yellow wreath to the imperial power with poisonous wine.
