so i decided to blog about warlords using sociology ideas
went to watch the show on thursday with anna , haiyin , weesin and his friend weili.
basically the story's excitement is in the 1st part , and the drama is in the 2nd part.
We have many roles in our life , role of "brother" , roles of soldier , role of lover , role of a bandit, etc. So when we take up different roles , we would act differently in a given situation. In a situation whereby a person is made to choose between 2 options that are of conflicting interest , the choice would tend towards the role that the person has internalised.
Like if jet li values the role of "brother" > role of soldier or in his case general , he would not have defied andy lau's wishes to stick to his side of the bargain of freeing the 4000 soldiers . Apparently , he internalised his role as a general deep within him and silenced the role of "brother".
There are other parts worthy of discussion too.
one of the 3 people drinking tea all the time made this comment
"nanjing is of great strategic importance , how can the empress let an outsider control it?"
jetli is considered an outsider for many a reason , he doesn't belong to the group , he doesn't intend to reproduce the culture paced by other governors ( requested for 3 years tax-free status which shocked many a representive). China's society then and now is still dependent on "关系" as opposed to US's meritocratic society. Without close "关系" to other officials or the empress herself , he has no staying power at all
the part that i feel silly is the introduction of a "love story"
if u want , make it 火辣辣 by giving it lots of action.
WHOLE OF ANCIENT CHINA the 3 brudders only like one girl ?
removing the "love story" and giving it more action scenes better lar.
outlook for the next 2 weeks :
(last week of the month) resumption of all remaining tuition.
(coming tuesday) formation of study group with charlene.
(xmas eve) congregation with pig and friends
