From director Feng Xiao Gang and star Zhang Ziyi comes this visually stunning epic drama. The Banquet has been described as a loose adaptation of "Hamlet"; it is a tale of fate and revenge set in 10th century China. A new Emperor has usurped the throne through murder. Zhang Ziyi plays the widowed Empress, who marries the new Emperor (Ge You) only to protect herself, but also secretly plots his death with the help of the Crown Prince ( Daniel Wu ) and the Chief Minister (Ma Jingwu). Yet the Prince and Minister each have their own plans for the throne, and, of course, so does the Emperor. All these intrigues are brought to a climax when the Emperor calls for a lavish banquet, where the murderous plans are set in motion.

if this one good, look so good in trailer, or better than cursed of the golden flower. I watch to see it but afraid its ending is so tragedy like cursed of the golden flower. i live in cambodia and cursed of the golden flower become the best selling dvd there for several months but didn't heard of this one before.
Zhang Zi Yi is so old. Every movie that manages to get to Hollywood has her starring in it. Get other female actress. Zhang has the same stupid face, stupid voice, and same boring look in all the costume dramas. I am sick and tired of her!!! There are so many great actresses in Korea and Hong Kong, just not her. She is big time BORING.
One of the best movies ever!!Hollywood movies still sucks because they can only copy movies from asia ( dark water, the ring, Infernal affairs which called in us departed, the grudge and what me really pissed of my sassy girl the remake was a creation of bastards) They als want to make a remake of JSA, Oldboy Hollywood go and fuck yourselff with your stupid amateur no story movies and billion dollars special effects.
totally agree with you .. i was watching the hollywood version on my sassy girl and it totally sucked i didnt even bother to finish it .. it just didnt have the same charm and the actress Elisha Cuthbert totally sucked she wasnt sassy she was trashy...
Go with God. Peace. No hard feelings ;-) Just that what you said was ridiculous, in light of that the directors, themselves, cited Hamlet as the inspiration for this tale. Beautiful movie! Better than any Western version of Hamlet I've ever seen!!!!!

it would be very sad if he would take the time to learn reding in order to commit suicide afterwards... but the suggestion is somehow funny!!!
Peace.
