Curse of the Golden Flower – Chinese Movie
The plot is based on Cao Yu’s 1934 drama Thunderstorm (pinyin: Lei Yu), but is set in the imperial court of the Later Tang Dynasty in the year 928, which was during the turbulent Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period. Emperor Ping is a man of humble origins and strong ambition, having risen to the throne from the rank of army captain. He abandoned his first wife to marry the princess of Liang, who is now his Empress Phoenix. The Empress does not love her husband, who blames her sour mood on illness and has forced her to take medicine of his own concoction every two hours for the past ten years. She and Crown Prince Wan, the Emperor’s son from his previous wife, have engaged in an affair for three years. Wan feels guilty about the affair and maintains a second secret relationship with Jiang Chan, the daughter of the Imperial Doctor. He desires to escape the palace, which he has never left, and see the real world with Chan.
