'All men are brothers"

You cant take me off the TV from 830 to 930 pm nowadays as I am avidly following a Chinese series "All Men are Brothers".Watching the movie critically and appreciating it makes it so much more meaningful.When you watch classics like this look out for:
1.The story line .
2.The main characters.
3.The settings and the cast.
4.The message the director or producer is trying to get across.
The story line is quite simple ,about a group of rebels trying to get the Emperor's pardon so that they can be absorbed into the govt.and rid it of all the corrupt officials.
The characters are interesting,you have the sage or the man of wisdom who gives valuable advice and plans the strategies for the group.You have the undisciplined fighter who flares up at every little thing ,eats and drinks merrily but who is loyal, brave and a fantastic fighter.
You have the reluctant leader who constantly harps on the objective of the group which is to be help set up a govt.which treats all the people fairly.Here you see how a leader constantly reminds his followers about their mission .(A lesson in corporate management).
The core members of the group are the 108 fighters who are all specialized in the art of fighting.Each one looks and acts his role well enough.
The fighting scenes are fantastic and its only in China that they can get so many people to participate.
What really stands out about this series are the emphasis on values like integrity,honor,courage ,loyalty,truthfulness and dignity.The common flaws of govt. officials are shown clearly , greed ,corruption,scheming and power crazy without really caring for the common people.Reminds me of what is happening in our country today!!! A lot to be learnt from History if we choose to do so.

I enjoy watching the series ,its very traditionally Chinese and an English educated person like me can also appreciate Chinese history and culture.
