White Vengeance

Intermezzo:
I watched this movie with my parents and brother in the night of CNY eve. What a movie to welcome CNY. Hahaha....


This movie tells a story of two sworn brothers, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. Somehow, perhaps to make it more dramatic, both of them fell in love with the same woman, Yu Ji.
Xiang Yu and Liu Bang are close friends who both serve King Huai of Chu. King Huai uses a plot, saying that whoever can subvert the Qin kingdom in Guanzhong would be the Lord Qin, in order to benefit from the competition between Xiang Yu and Liu Bang.
Here comes the conflict, both of them would like to be the Lord Qin. Because Liu Bang had a chance to invade Guanzhong first when most of Qin army is outside fighting against Xiang Yu's army, Xiang Yu is furious & felt betrayed when he found out. So they arranged a Banquet, to have a direct confrontation.

In the end of this movie, Liu Bang told his ex-advisor, Zhang Liang, that he had lost trust to everyone. He is scared that everyone is trying to kill him and take away his throne one day, because he had betrayed the ones who trusted him.

Sad movie, really.
