I love this last shot. Steven slightly resembles Chen Dao Ming in this garb.
To me, Dor Bo is a most pitiful character.
He once lived a pampered life thoroughly by parents and friends
He lost that life because he insisted on being a sentinel, and he will carry that cross forever.
He will be forever guilt ridden by:
His parents' death.
His 'birth' father's death
His best friends' death
Fred losing his arm.
He lost his love and his sister at the same time.
What man can stand such misfortune and still retain his mind and not go crazy with grief?
He lost his identity, who is he? Dor Bo? or 4th prince?
Where can he go to get away from his past? To escape his memories, to erase the guilt from inside?
Can he find peace ever again.
Will he ever be happy again?
Dor Bo is on pitiful character.
Be a monk seeking the spiritual meaning of life seems to be the only way for him to find a modicum of inner peace.
I find Dor Bo and Hao Chong's scene very touching. HC is regretful while DB is filled with inexpressible emotions facing his imperial grandmother. She is his grandmother yet she is also the most hated person to him. How to reconcile these conflicting feelings? Twisting and whirling in turmoil is the fact that had he listened to Weird Monk's advice he would/might have prevented the deaths of his parents and friends? All it takes is just one false step to topple down a set of dominoes of events..
Or are all these happening predestined from above? Are we all puppets of Destiny? Are we like Job of the bible?
