Realistic portrait of Empress Dowager's Eunuch

In the previous communist propaganda films, eunuchs, especially this Empress Dowager's favorite, who held the highest position, was portrayed as a devil. This film is great in that it breaks free from the traditional communist ideological restriction, describing Li Lianying, the protagonist, as the way he was in real life. In comparison to his earlier films, such as Horse Thief (Dao Ma Zei, 1986), the director moved a step further, but soon he would meet his end in his future work, as in Blue Kite, which was no longer tolerated by the regime and banned in China.

Standard costume drama

I saw this film with the title Li Lianying the Imperial Eunuch. It's neither better nor worse than most other Chinese historical epics that I've seen and has a story that is hard for Occidentals to appreciate. There's some lovely photography but the film is very talky and probably of interest mostly to hardcore Chinese film or history buffs.
