In the movie Curse of the Golden Flower, set during China's Tang dynasty, the Emperor (played by Chow Yun-fat) marries the beautiful Princess Phoenix (played by Gong Li) from a neighboring province. The Emperor's dominion is vast, and his control over his empire is nearly absolute, including his own family.
However, beneath the facade of a harmonious royal family, a dark and complex plot begins to unravel. The Empress suffers in silence, trapped in a loveless marriage and surrounded by conspiracies and secrets. Her only solace comes from her illicit affair with her stepson, Crown Prince Wan (played by Liu Ye), who is also the Emperor's eldest son.
Meanwhile, the Emperor becomes increasingly paranoid and suspicious of his wife's fidelity. He hires the infamous Doctor Jiang (played by Ni Dahong), who is secretly in love with the Empress, to prepare a potent poison. The poison will be added to the Empress's medicine, causing her paranoia and further destroying her mental state.
As the Emperor's control tightens, tensions rise within the palace walls. The dynamic between the Emperor, the Empress, and Crown Prince Wan becomes more perilous, leading to a web of deceit, rebellion, and violence. The poisonous secrets hidden within the palace threaten to tear apart not only the royal family but also the entire empire.
Within this backdrop of political intrigue, an epic battle unfolds between the Emperor's soldiers and the rebellious forces secretly loyal to the Empress and the Crown Prince. The clash between loyalty and love, power and betrayal, unveils a tragic destiny for all those involved.
Curse of the Golden Flower combines stunning visuals, intricate costumes, and intense performances to depict a tale of power struggles, family conflicts, and the human desires that transcend the royal hierarchy. It ultimately reveals the curse that befalls those who are consumed by their hunger for control and the consequences of love turned to poison.
