Downvoted for the font. Upvoted the movie twice. Net result +1

Wow, what are the odds that they'd leave a perfect man-shaped hole for him?

Was hoping the arrows would be downvotes ah well still great
LeaderBeans
Did they have albums, though? That's important when judging selfies.

Awesome movie!
letsnotandsaywemight
This is one of my favorite movies.

Not going to get your deposit back with all those marks in the wall
WallyMLG
is this Zhang Yimo? The most wasteful and over the top film director to ever get a blank check right from the chinese gov't?

Seen reactions to tv shows get the fuck downvoted out of them too. Imgur has an interesting dynamic

Walk it off bud, its just a scratch.

Do you think they practiced talking in unison like that, or did it just happen organically?

I can't be the only one curious as to how he got out of that, right?
ITriedToThingOfSomethingWitty
I have done some research and found out that he did not.

that seems like a really honorable execition? if such a thing exists

Death by a thousand arrows does have a nice ring to it.
Lesurous
What a terribly ineffecient way to execute someone. You have to remove every single arrow, and repeair the wall everytime you kill someone.
kobyashimaru
...but an effective way to stay alive while attempting to execute a better...

Hes only dead because allowed it. Didn’t even flinch. After this he was given a hero’s funeral. I still tear up at this scene. So powerful.
Jushtan
Who's job is it to remove those arrows? I feel bad for that person...not really.
ilikeburbs
If everyone goes together and picks up one arrow, we can be done cleaning up in no time!

I hate most wire martial art movies. But this movie was amazing. The story and the fighting was excellent.

God Hero is such an amazing movie looove it
CitizenClam
Fun fact, based on an actual assassination attempt. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jing_Ke

Saw it in the theater, but next door was Phantom of the Opera. Several quiet wuxia scenes got interrupted by pipe organ music. Still fun
CompressedInfo
1/ It's also exceedingly propagandistic. By creating the implication that No-Name was correct not to execute the King of Qin,
thebigzeee
I think...you are reading too much into it...assassination of Qin is such a household story in china no one attaches political opinion to it
CompressedInfo
Remember that SARFT is very exacting in its script standards that supports the CCP. This interpretation is common in China analyst circles
thebigzeee
It just seems unnecessary even for CCP to spread this kind of propaganda
CompressedInfo
2/ In the name of "Tianxia" (all under heaven), so that the countries might be united and ruled together. This directly bolsters
CompressedInfo
3/ The legitimacy of authoritarians and autocrats (i.e. the Communist Party of China, who signed off on the script)
CompressedInfo
4/ The harsh rule of the King of Qin is justified as preferable to continuing chaos that might ensue without such rule
enderite
CompressedInfo
5/ Still fun to watch, though

I know it's a visually stunning scene, but I always wondered what it would look like if all the archers had actually aimed at him.
TheStealthHippopotamus
Who says they didn’t? Not everyone is William Tell.
LeaderBeans
That's kind of cool. Imagine instead of this shot, it just showed an empty wall.
Lenthas
Thats not how combat archers worked, you mass them to throw arrows, 1 less for your infantry to fight if they hit, its not meant for acuracy

Watch Kurosawa's Throne of Blood--there's a scene that might answer it for you.

Sucks to be the person who would have to clean that up
jpb103
Totally what I was thinking. Like, some dude put his life's work into that door. Fuck those archers.
Gib00
He would just have to run a couple feet to either side.
FoxySpirit
If you had seen the movie, he could have defended this. But like the emperor, eh accepted his fate to uphold the law of earth and heaven.
Snooj
They're taking into consideration he could move. By creating a blanket of arrows he has nowhere to escape to. Technically.
shadowbane1120
He could just... run forward a few feet instead :P

It's Wuxia. Earlier this happened: https://youtu.be/A0XOjEah6E8

Hahahah is that a real movie ? It looks like a bad Japanese commercial.

It's American Gods. If you haven't seen it, you're in for a good acid trip. The show feels bizzarely unreal
