I thought this was supposed to be like a fight martial arts movie, but 9/10 of it was just non-stop talking about life and crying scenes. I didn't care about all this Empress coronation crap. This movie was probably intended for women.
No. The prince, the one hiding in the water at the end, lives. The plan was for all of his guards and doubles to die so that the assassins would think they'd killed him.
What brave and devoted men to stand without fear or hesitation as death systematically claims them. If only there were more like them in the world, it would be a better place. If there is an afterlife, these men deserve to reap all the rewards in it...
That's what it's called in the US. But in Asia it's called "The Banquet." It is also one of the best representations of Shakespeare's plays, in this case, "Hamlet."
His job wasn't to escape. It was to draw the attention of the assassins from the real target who was hiding underwater in the moat surrounding the school. I respect that kind of devotion, knowing you will not escape alive but doing your job all the same.
What the hell do these black-robed guards have against mime artists?

@charismatist The poison used at the end to kill the emperor was from venom of a black scorpion.
