A celebration is later held and Huo An is made an honorary centurion. However, the government uncovers evidence that someone in the group is corrupt, causing the entire group to be sentenced to construction work at Wild Geese Gate, a ruined fortress. I've no problem with the English title, whatsoever, but to the reviewer who said that it has something to do with lions? It makes no sense to me how easily they could move and deploy their armies along the Silk Road from Rome to China or vice-versa. They originally were child-slaves of Hun descent, but the general had later rescued them. A lot of things that happened in between didn't make hell of a lot of sense either. Film Stars: Jackie Chan, John Cusack, Adrien Brody.
They accept Huo An as their commander, and Huo An, in turn, honors the deceased Chinese general by relocating the shrine to that city. The legion uses its superior engineering skills to speed up the construction work, an act which boosts the morale and happiness of the inhabitants, who are divided among several different races, such as Chinese, Uighur, and Turkic. Released Date: 4 September 2015. Tiberius proceeds to murder Publius. Featuring an international cast led by Jackie Chan, John Cusack and Academy Award® winner Adrien Brody, the film features the fight for the Silk Road when East and West collide. After a stale-mated duel between Huo An and Lucius Cusack , the Roman general, the latter agrees not to assault the city in return for being let inside. And if you add to the mix, the European languages, and the Middle Eastern languages, there is just no common ground in there for them to be able to understand each other.
Not long after, Wild Geese Gate is threatened by a legion from the Roman Empire in need of water and supplies, among which is a blind boy named Publius Jozef Waite. As the centuries go on, the city fades from collective memory. Once they arrive, the group pays respects at the shrine of a fallen Chinese general. However, in the modern day, a team of Asian American archaeologists stumble upon the site and uncover the dual Chinese and Latin inscriptions. The challenge however, is to incorporate that message seamlessly into the story without it feeling too forced or cliché -- and that was exactly how I felt when I watched some of those scenes. It makes no sense that Jackie Chan is so trusty from the start almost like a fool.
Although I am not a master of the Chinese language, I'm able to understand both English and Chinese movies without subtitles, so I'd like to first address the title. In ancient China, Chinese don't speak a common Chinese language, they speak different dialects. I have nothing against that either. So, what was so wrong about the movie? It makes no sense that they were all able to understand a common language, that is English. When corrupt Roman leader Tiberius arrives with a giant army to claim the Silk Road, Huo An and his group of trained warriors teams up with an elite legion of defected Roman soldiers led by General Lucius to maintain the delicate balance of power in the region. Written by I've read some of the reviews -- the bad reviews, I generally agree more, the good ones were often too exaggerated.
The legion is imprisoned in the non-Chinese trading city of Kroran, where Tiberius has chosen to camp. It makes no sense that Adrien Brody would for the sake of not spoiling find himself eventually in that predicament. To protect his country and his new friends, Huo An gathers the warriors of thirty-six ethnic nations together to fight Tiberius in an incredible epic battle. To protect his country and his new friends, Huo An gathers the warriors of thirty-six ethnic nations together to fight Tiberius in an incredible epic battle. The fight choreography was good. . The message of the movie is simple, to promote harmony among people despite the obvious differences in race, ethnicity, culture, creed, etc, etc.
Huo An Chan , the captain, successfully averts a battle between the Indians and Huns. If you want me to translate it, it's something along the lines of Top Gererals, Brave Mightly Armies Troops. As Tiberius approaches with 100,000 soldiers, Huo An insists on helping Lucius, pointing out that Tiberius is a threat to the Silk Road in its entirety. When corrupt Roman leader Tiberius Adrien Brody arrives with a giant army to claim the Silk Road, Huo An Jackie Chan and his group of trained warriors teams up with an elite legion of defected Roman soldiers led by General Lucius John Cusack to maintain the delicate balance of power in the region. . . .
