![]() ![]() Dong Zhuo? To him the yellow turban rebellion is just means to an end. This symbolizes how Huangfu Song and He Jin are raising their armies to deal with the dawning threat of the yellow turban rebellion. Huangfu Song and He Jin are shown with the dawn light in the background(the Yellow Sky) where as Dong Zhuo is the only one shown with the clear daylight in the background (the Azure Sky). We have shots of various warlords with their marching armies.Times of great turbulence, vibrant changes and uncertainties. It is not only times of the Yellow Sky but also times of warlords. With this the background is imbued with full colours contrasting gray monotones symbolizing the old age.Whereas the realization is a revelation for Zhang Jue, it's sorrow for Lu Zhi, a loyal defender of Han Dynasty. Lu Zhi also realizes that times of the Azure Sky has come to an end. While Zhang Jue looks into the sky, Lu Zhi frowns and looks away. Zhang Jue receives a revelation of what he should do. Rain stops and the sun (the Yellow Sky) comes out.If one knows no limits, one may rule the empire." See how it contrasts the trailer's beginning quote: "If nothing is impossible, one knows no limits. An emperor incapable of managing his court is incapable of ruling an empire. Lastly, the empty bowl is focused one more time followed by a shot of the emperor's back who is oblivious or indifferent to the ongoing fight behind him, highlighting the emperor's lack of power and weak will to do anything(empty bowl), and his ignorance and indifference. This represents the inner court power struggle indifferent to the pleas of the peasantry dying outside, and ambitious warlords losing trust of the emperor & government restoring the order they will have to carve their own destiny. The emperor is seen with eunuchs and government officials arguing and scheming against each other, with Cao Cao and Sun Jian glaring at them with disgusts. This also shows Zhang Jue losing hope to save the people through peaceful means such as his art of medicine. Zhang Jue laments for his inability to save the people and throws an empty bowl to the ground, which symbolizes starvation(empty) & poverty(has nothing) of the peasantry.The scene switches to show Zhang Jue walking away from the dead child and Lu Zhi walking in the palace the harsh life of commoners starkly juxtaposed with the lavish lifestyle of the nobility.Historically Lu Zhi was discharged from his position because he refused to pay bribes to the eunuchs this shows how even an upright official such as Lu Zhi can't help but be part of the exploitative system that oppresses the peasants. Lu Zhi is found delivering tax(in grain) to a government officer. Zhang Jue is seen tending to a sick peasant child who does not survive.The clear, azure sky(Han Dynasty) is giving way to the dark, cloudy storms. Their respective colour, blue represents the Azure Sky(Han Dynasty) and yellow represents the Yellow Sky(Yellow Turbans).Lu Zhi and Zhang Jue are the only coloured characters in the low chroma & gray background.It was composed in large thanks to the discussions of the Korean Three Kingdoms and Total War community with my thoughts added on top.
