The Warring States (2011)

Both have a history of rivalry and confrontation between the two protagonists in addition to tell one parte of the history of ancient China.

Both movies show the desire for the 'ultimate weapon' - in one it's a war machine, in the other it's a man. Also, it is nice - for a change - to see that women can be useful members of society and not just part of set decoration.

The two works have:

- Protagonists highly intelligent and physically disabled
- Duel of two great strategists in turmoil times.
- Political plots

But in Nirvana In Fire, the plot goes more smoothly.
