What is the intriguing plot of the Chinese film "The Warlords"?

After watching the movie "The Warlords", I was thinking, thinking has been stuck in some plot of the movie, has been thinking about certain issues, feel that this is a controversial, thought-provoking film. Three brothers in the film, in addition to the eldest brother Pang Qingyun, the other two are veritable heroes of the rough. The three brothers vowed not to kill each other in full view of the public. Three people call brothers and brothers, at the beginning defends the promise that they establish, unite, unite as one, the career that partnership does is flourishing. Arrived later critical moment, however, there was friction between brothers, opinion disagreement, especially old Pang Qingyun and second Zhao Erhu in dealing with the views of some problems, conflict is the biggest. Pang Qingyun in order to achieve great ego, cruel will be in the heart of the second Zhao Erhu killed to get rid of, sweep away the obstacles in his heart, self-righteousness for the interests of the people of the world, and forced to take the strategy. Zhao Erhu is so unclear, in the brother Pang Qingyun's trick, unjustly died. Pang Qingyun got what he wanted when he was a senior official in the imperial court. He stood up and begged the court for a temporary exemption from taxes on behalf of the people, thinking that the people of the world would be relieved from hunger and cold in the near future. However Pang Qingyun's big dream of life will eventually be fragmented, although the world is not a crow general black, but it is not so beautiful in his imagination, cheating, corruption and other ugly quietly in the interpretation. Although Pang Qingyun is an undisputed hero, it seems to me that he has unconsciously lost his humanity. Pang Qingyun already violated original intention, already violated the oath that their 3 siblings set up at the beginning. Give me the feeling, Pang Qingyun is to pick up the watermelon, lost the sesame, forgot the most important thing. Playing a metaphor, his original intention is only to get sesame, watermelon is outside the body, but the result he somehow got the watermelon, give up sesame, away from the theme. Just like the examinee writing a composition, as long as the examinee digress, no matter how good the essay is, it will get a pitiful low score. Originally, the three brothers shared weal and woe and forged a deep friendship. But later Pang Qingyun is ambitious, with killing brother for the price, round his grand plan, its results show that he has lost the human nature, forget the promise, forget the friendship between the brothers. A hero has broken his promise. If the hero is truly virtuous and human, he should spend the rest of his life in a state of guilt. This is not to give yourself an invisible shackles, guilty of their own life. Ridiculous Pang Qingyun thinks his strategy is perfect, but he does not know the truth of the pure official field, will be full of loopholes, a crushing defeat. When he was plotting against others, they were plotting against him behind the scenes. Just as "a mantis catches a cicada after the yellow sparrow", each mountain is higher than the other, and each ring is linked to the other. This kind of artistic conception is like the artistic conception of a poem like this: "When you look at the scenery from the bridge, the scene-beater looks at you from upstairs." It can be seen that Pang Qingyun's abacus will not be fulfilled, and he will eventually accompany his life. Cleverer men had turned their guns on him, and he knew nothing of it. Pang Qingyun, Zhao Erhu, Jiang Wuyang three brothers at the beginning of the promise there is such a "kill brothers, will kill." Pang Qingyun to the heart of the scheme can succeed, secretly sent people killed brother Zhao Erhu. Jiang Wuyang learned the truth, filled with righteous indignation, decided to revenge for the second brother, personally take a knife on the stage and eldest brother Pang Qingyun launched a life-and-death struggle. Even if others did not calculate behind the curtain Pang Qingyun, Pang Qingyun also can brew bitter fruit from oneself, kill each other with once good brother, this is the consequence that Pang Qingyun breaks promise, he already lost humanity actually. A man without humanity, it is impossible to achieve great achievements, more impossible to be loved by others. This is not a comedy, but a harrowing tragedy, in the end three brothers kill each other, no one has the last laugh, no one wins. "The Warlords" this film is not ordinary, it seems to reflect some human truth, I saw it twice, the first time, the whole story shocked me, so that my mind solidifying in a memorable plot. Some time later, I downloaded and watched the film for a second time, trying to understand some of the human nature that I had not understood before.
