    The Throne (2015)

    The Throne is about the life of Crown Prince Sado, the heir to the throne who was
    deemed unfit to rule and was condemned to death by his own father by getting locked in a
    rice chest for eight days until he suffocated and starved. The film is set in the Joseon period,
    wherein a king tries to teach his son the way of being an eligible prince and a competent king.
    Efforts made by the king to straighten out his son his son only result in a bitter end. The king
    in his late age, losing hope in his son, trains his grandson for the position. In a drunken fury
    from bitterness and regret, the prince rushes to the palace one night to assassinate the king.
    The king, who initially tries to forgive, is manipulated by some members of the palace
    officials and ministers into thinking that the prince is beyond reckless and not worthy of
    being future king. The king order his son to be locked in a rice box until his death, on the
    eighth day the price dies, and ceremonies are held. The film is essentially a potrayal of a
    power struggle between a desperate father and his emotionally abused son, who initially
    strives to earn his father’s love and admiration, but rabels against his father once he realizes
    that he can not meet his expectations. At seemingly every opportunity, the king-father
    publicy belittles and humiliates his son before his governing subjects, making the regent-son
    question his own self-worth, driving him into a perpetual state of anxiety, self-loathing and
    eventually madness. However, it makes clear at the end that both had a fierce love for the
    other, and that the driving force for both king and prince was to see the other happy. This
    story is told in a long and very effective flashback showing the distance between a father who
    is disappointed with his son and a son who longs for his father's love. Even those who take
    historical facts and use them to intrigue and force tears. This film also succeeded in
    convincing in technical matters. Beautiful sets and stunning costumes are among the strong
    points like a well-arranged soundtrack. Furthermore, in technical matters it should be noted
    that Director Lee's decision to remove films from several colors without a set lost their
    splendor added much to the film's rather dark tone. Unfortunately, the director made a typical
    mistake dragging the epilogue very much to underline the film's tragedy. The duration of the
    film that was too long also made me feel a little bored to watch to the stories in the film. But
    at some point you have enough tears. At other points, the film will also get a little less than
    all melodrama. in the film it is not told how the crown prince could have an interest in the arts
    and did not explain how the crown prince established relationships and cooperation with
    monks, prostitutes and others even though the security system of an empire was certainly
    tight which was less likely to enter the palace. It would be more interesting if the film did not
    only discuss power issues, power struggles, and thrones, but also included other stories, such
    as love conflicts and so on. The author must also consider the duration of the film.
