color coding.,.

Many of the movie messages are under a code based in colors. These are some examples:

  • The Nameless assassin was portrayed most of the time by using a black outfit. That recalls the idea of death. Indeed, this is the type of hero portrayed by Li in the story: The Martyr
  • The couple of assassins were first portrayed in a scene full of red, the color associated with heat and passion, in that scene there were a lot of strong emotions, which goes against the traditional zen image associated with martial artists.
  • In another scene, when the two assassins were fighting the emperor, the predominant color is green, which, in Chinese culture is associated with changing. Another metaphor in the same scene were the curtains being cut and revealed the emperor. That leads to the "Our land" revelation.
  • In the last scene portraying the couple, the two were wearing white, which recalls the idea of death as white is a color used in funerals and associated with death.
