themesong MV



Themevideo




Did I say I love the themesong?  It sounds so much more powerful and intense when back up with images.

I wish there were a scene with riders on galloping horses at the drawn out ...aaaaaaaa! or during the refrain, "just a thin line between success and failure". Overall an excellent themevideo, full of drama and pathos, tempo matching with images - like towards the end, Fuk Chuen's sly smile matching the lyrics of:"still smiling, only belatedly realizes the earth shaking changes"

And also the image of Fuk Chuen raising his hand up rallying his troop and then the explosion matching: An Emperor's military feats, Domination is but a day or night away; "

I really like the beginning of the video with the lighting flashing and the thunder rolling over the palace signifying something big and ominous is imminent, carrying the theme of the series title, very cliche but I like it.

I like also like the flitting close ups on Hong Hei, Dor Bo and Fuk Chuen signifying Dor Bo as the link between them, will he effect a reconciliation or the destruction of each other?

On to the next scene - the springing of suspicion between Dor Bo & Fuk Chuen, two best friends turning against each other and because of their principles become enemies. And then the intensity of the music abruptly halts with Dor Bo's all seeing eyes...definitely the first few seconds are very intense before the start of the song.

I also especially like the last few seconds of the video beginning with Hao Chong's eyes brimming with tears to the end of the video.
