Battle of Wits<\/p><\/div>\n

I thought this movie is about battle and rivalry between two great minds.<\/p>\n

One is Ge Li (Andy Lau), a Mozi that helps a small city to defend themselves.
\nThe other one is Zhao Commander, who wants to invade the city just as a stepping stone to other bigger city.<\/p>\n

The story is shifting to a philosophical and moral theme, and I think it tries to achieve all aspects of a war.
\nAbout the war itself (the strategy, the battle).
\nAbout describing citizen’s dilemma in facing war: surrendering or fighting.
\nAbout the king’s jealousy (or fear, or just over-reaction) by the popularity of Ge Li.
\nAbout Geli’s relationship with a woman.
\nAbout rebellion, etc.<\/p>\n

Although the film is very long, it’s still too ambitious to cover all of this angles.
\nSo in every angle, it is like half-done.
\nFor example, in term of battle scenes… it’s poor compared to other war movies.<\/p>\n

But don’t worry, the movie itself is not that bad.
\nStill enjoyable, but after watching this movie, you will question the title, and will find it difficult to categorize this movie.<\/p>\n

So, I put it as ‘foreign’ movie \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
