7/10
A film about fraternity
3 January 2008
(This comment was deleted by IMDb based on an abuse report filed by another user) Tau Ming Chong is adapted from a previous Hong Kong film Ci Ma, based on a real historical event.

Rather then to tell the story and spoil the interests of reader, I'd like to express some thoughts after watching this film.

It is a film intends to tell a story happened between manhood under the historical background of Qing Dynasty, and it is like what Director stated, this film is about the fraternal relation and emotions.

General Ma, Xinyi/Pang, Qingyun (Jet Li) is a person who gived in the power, while Yang Er-hu (Andy Lau) has deepest beliefs and passions in fraternity among three and Jiang, Wuyang (Takeshi Kaneshiro) never meant to be a leader and was cheated and stood the wrong side. However, Xu, Jinglei's character - Liansheng, appeared to be very ambiguous and most time accessorial.

It revealed that the fraternity can also be very as ugly as darkside of love - cheating, manipulating, betray and adultery. After all, the truth is mostly veiled and even opposited to what are believed.
