I have heard amazing things about this film over the years and after reading this post decided to finally take the time to watch it (I am not a huge fan of movies). I found the history in the film to be pretty accurate, at least to my own knowledge base and what was covered in the course Origins to 1800 related to the Peoples Republic of China and Communist party of China in relative history. Details related to the Forbidden City of Beijing appeared to be well articulated and demonstrated throughout the movie. There were good plot twists and the flashbacks really added to the depth of the movie. I thought the character development and setting used great details which added to the historical value of the film, for me personally. I enjoyed this movie and am contemplating showing it in my 4th grade class next school year, though feel that many of the violent scenes may be above my students.
