More camp than girl scout cookies
gurrl, i need General Ouki to tell me what lipgloss he's using, 'cause hubba hubba!
What starts out as a classic martial arts quest for revenge quickly becomes a perpetually-subtextual BL, and I am fully here for it. The choreographers, make up artists, and colour graders make this movie. Like yessss, give me beautiful fight scenes AND longing gazes!
If Hollywood's The Mummy (1999) made you bi – Kingdom is going to make you well... more bi! Qin king is hot. Mountain tribe chieftain is hot. And our plucky protagonist is the naive goofball trying his best :)
As much as I love Cdrama – let's be real – nothing like this would ever pass government regulations lol. It always feels a bit weird when Japan does Chinese history stuff, but hey, maybe we do need more camp Warring States era cinema.
