A Lonely Tear

daeva_neesanToday there was Hero on TV. I watched it when it was out at the cinema, but since at the time I didn't know much about Chinese history I just appreciated the visuals... Now, thanks to Kingdom, I came to like the figure of Qin Shi Huang (or Zhao Zheng if you come from Kingdom, or Shi Huangdi if you come from Sangoku Musou).
I can somehow sympathize with the autoritative man at the top of the enstablishment, how it all turns to loneliness once the power-hunger is gone, how his heart gets swallowed by "the rule" once he's supposed to act as that Law that he represents... I mean, not that I've ever been in such a situation myself XD but I can understand that feeling, and I'm fascinated by such characters.
When the King shed that tiny tear (I actually tried to find a screenshot about that, but guess, I couldn't find any >_>; It's no surprise that on teh intraweb the most popular thing of this movie is the fight between Flying Snow and Moon) once he realized that his worst enemy was actually the one who could understand his vision better, I must confess that I got teary-eyed too ;_; SUCH BEAUTIFUL EMOTIONS.
Also, another reason for my symphathy for Zheng is that he reminds me of Nobunaga (despite having different circumstances, both are considered terrible dictators with weird and megalomaniac tastes or the fathers of the Nation depending on the fanbase).
...Even Chen Daoming in the movie looked like I imagine Nobunaga around the time of the Honnoji incident ;_;
