In the ending of the movie "Hero", Wuming violated his original intention to avenge his parents and chose to stab the King of Qin with the hilt of his sword in the air for the sake of the world. Finally, he died tragically under the overwhelming arrows of the Qin army. And there is a passage in the prologue, saying that King Qin unified the six countries, built the Great Wall, protected the safety of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, called himself Qin Shihuang, and started the emperor system.
The film is directed by the great director Zhang Yimou. He uses his consistent style, large-scale production, and large-scale special effects to give people a visual impact. Seeing the decisive killing of the Qin army, and the momentum of the army sweeping across Liuhe with the wave of the battle flag, people can't help but feel enthusiastic. Especially when tens of millions of soldiers and horses shouted "Wind! Wind! Wind!", people couldn't help but admire the greatness of Qin Shihuang for being able to cultivate such an iron army with strict discipline, strong combat effectiveness, and iron-blooded determination!
The film begins with Wu Ming, played by Jet Li, carrying three weapons into the palace to meet the King of Qin. In the words of the eunuch, Wu Ming declares that the hero who killed three wanted assassins is here. Walk slowly into the hall. The two sides outside the palace were filled with civil and military ministers and Qin troops wearing black armor, which shows the strength of Qin's national power at that time. After entering the main hall, the main hall was empty. King Qin told Wuming that since the last time Can Jian and Feixue came to the palace to assassinate them, and three thousand armored troops failed to stop them, King Qin had removed all the guards in the main hall. At the beginning, Wuming was rewarded with a thousand taels of gold for killing Changkong, a thousand households were sealed, and he took twenty steps forward. King Qin asked Wuming how to kill Changkong, and Changkong replied, "Kill him with a sword."
After Wuming and Changkong fought with their minds for half an hour, they finally cut off Changkong's silver spear in an instant and stabbed Changkong to death. At this time, the eunuch preached again, "Whoever kills one of Feixue and Canjian will be granted the title of Marquis of ten thousand households, and will be rewarded with tens of thousands of gold, and will take ten steps forward." After Wuming took ten steps forward, King Qin asked Wuming how he killed Feixue and Canjian. Wuming told King Qin that he knew a secret. Changkong and Feixue had a one-night stand, which resulted in Feixue and Canjian not talking to each other for many years. If he wanted to kill these two people, he would need to use Changkong. Therefore, he first defeated Changkong, took Changkong's silver spear, pretended to be a Zhao, and went to the academy to borrow his father's legacy and ask Can Jian, whose alias was Mr. Gao Shan, for a sword.
The reason for asking for the word "Sword" was because Wuming wanted to understand Can Jian's sword skills through this painting. By the way, he showed Can Jian and Feixue the silver spear in the sky, and said that he was the one who killed Ming. He also threatened that Changkong told him that Feixue had feelings for him and would avenge him. As a result, the two of them were fooled. Feixue stabbed Canjian to death and came to the Qin army camp to duel with Wuming, but was defeated by Wuming. At this time, after King Qin heard about it, he said that he would not believe the story told by Wuming at all, and expressed his own thoughts, saying that it was a play that Wuming, Changkong, Feixue and Canjian worked together to put on. Indeed, it was Wuming who planned with Changkong first, convinced Can Jian and Feixue with Changkong's defeat, and used the lives of the three of them to give Wuming the opportunity to get within ten steps of King Qin.
Because there is a decisive move in Wuming's swordsmanship called "Ten Steps and One Kill", which can kill the King of Qin within ten steps. King Qin asked, "You are already ten steps away from me, why don't you take ten steps to kill me?" Wuming said that he would not kill King Qin. He initially planned to assassinate King Qin to avenge his parents. But in the end Can Jian found Wuming and wrote two words to him, which was "World". Wuming told King Qin that if he kills you, the world will not be unified, and the people of the seven countries will still suffer from war, so he will not kill King Qin.
After hearing this, King Qin was greatly moved and sighed, "Can Jian is really my confidant. If I have a confidant, I will die without regrets." Finally, Wuming walked out of the hall and stood at the door of the palace. Wuming knew that he would die. Because the laws of the State of Qin are strict, and the King of Qin, as the leader and the one who formulated the laws, must strictly implement them, otherwise he will lose the support of the people. King Qin tearfully ordered Wuming to be killed amidst calls from the Manchu ministers and the Qin army to kill him.
At the end of the film, Wuming is carried out of the palace by many Qin troops. With the background music, everyone feels sad. They are moved by Wuming's bravery and compassion for the common people in the world. It is brave and sad to not regret what you have done even if an arrow pierces your heart.
