Hsi Shih: The Beauty of Beauties was one of the most ambitious films made in the Taiwan film industry in the 1960s. After leaving The Shaw Brothers studio in Hong Kong and moving to Taiwan, filmmaker Li Han-hsiang mounted this historical epic. Told through the story of Xishi (Hsi Shih), one of the ‘Four Great Beauties’ of Chinese history, the film portrays the war between two Chinese Kingdoms during the Warring States Period (475-221 B.C). After the kingdom of Yue is defeated by the kingdom of Wu, King Goujian of Yue takes pains to prepare for his revenge and rebuild his country. Knowing that King Fucha of Wu is lewd and lustful, he offers Xisi to the court of Wu to serve as Fucha’s concubine, with Fucha unaware that she is also a spy. She uses her charm to draw Fucha away from his office and governance, while King Goujian rallies his forces together to attempt to reclaim his lands.
Pentru a se incarca un film corect pe Netu.tv, trebuie ca inainte sa dam play pe butonul galben sa apasam pe butonul de „play” (cel in forma de cerc gri cu sageata) care nu mai are pozitie prestabilita (adica in centru). Este necesară apăsarea lui la început, altfel video-ul nu o să pornească, indiferent dacă folosiţi sau nu extensii de tip adblock.
