The film focuses more on the characters themselves.
The acting is good.
China Film Co-Production Corporation, | Rating: 3.5/5, January 1, 2000 Along the way there's spikes in the action, time for some fingerpointing drama, Dallas/Dynasty style, but not so much so as you lose track of the mostly unknown to the West story.
The film was well received critically and won the Technical Prize at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival.

Chen Kaige has performed admirably to weave the intricate plot strands together without causing the narrative to become convoluted.
The Emperor and the Assassin by Chen Kaige presents us with an interesting and reasonably honest look at the way power is (or at least was) wielded in the world—as perhaps only a Chinese Communist who denounced his parents to the Red Guards of Mao's Cultural Revolution could do. and it's not really a wuxia film.
Help The film is broken into chapters, which works out quite well with the story, however it isn't until the last chapter, which has the same title as the film, where things get really interesting.

She then goes to the kingdom of Yan, and finds a suitable candidate to carry out the assassination in the form of Jing Ke (Zhang Fengyi), who has no fear of death.
The Emperor and the Assassin Review.
In fact in some ways it is superior to all three of the aforementioned films, namely in it’s narrative and it’s attention to character development.
The percentage of Approved Tomatometer Critics who have given this movie a positive review. The video has finally arrived for Billie Eilish's stunning official theme song for the forthcoming James Bond movie 'No Time To Die'. The Emperor and the Assassin sets a new standard for quality of production. Golden hued palace scenes and dusty yellow panoramas of Chinese landscapes background a true story of China's unifying King, circa 300 BCE. Directed by Kaige Chen. Yet the movie didn't show his early childhood life, it only shows the time when he became an adult and how he conquered the other 6 kingdoms in China. With it’s palette of muted colours it boasts an almost sepia quality. The Emperor and the Assassin is a historical drama, with a touch of Shakespeare, from writer and director Kaige Chen.
The plot does have its moments and it is interesting at times, but it is just too drawn out.
Kaige Chen even finds a role for himself to play. With the web of political intrigue and the destruction of Ying Zhang’s family, interest is always sustained as Ying Zhang is corrupted by his power and ambition in his quest to fulfil his ancestors mandate and his own ideals. | Top Critics (7)

It's impossible not to feel for Justin Bieber after watching the video for his latest single 'Lonely' performed with producer Benny Blanco.
Don’t worry, it won’t take long. It certainly deserves more attention than it has received.
|, January 1, 2000 Privacy The Emperor and the Assassin, also known as The First Emperor, is a 1998 - 1999 Chinese historical romance film based primarily on Jing Ke's assassination attempt on the King of Qin, as described in Sima Qian's Records of the Grand Historian.
Loved it....although I admit to being a little confused through some of it. Set in the 20th Century BC, "The Emperor and the Assasin" tells the story of Ying Zheng, a power-hungry heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Qin, whose only goal is to conquer the other six kingdoms existing in China, and merge them into his own, and under his rule.
