So often, the message of a story is lost in the excitement of its contents. The ferocious mythical creatures 饕 餮 tāo tiè that attack the Great Wall do not merely represent bad monsters that frighten and harm us. Specifically, they represent the Corruption and Insatiable Greed of Man. The scenes where the creatures swarm the wall and city remind one of the dark clouds of corruption engulfing a nation.

The movie "The Great Wall 长城 cháng chéng" offers ways to defeat this menace:

Confidence and Trust 信 任 xìn rèn
Courage and Skills
and, at the heart of this engaging story,
Change in Oneself - the willingness to admit and accept that one was wrong, and to make amends.

This great (adjective chosen with intention) movie is another
brilliant effort by the acclaimed Chinese director Zhang Yimou.
