The Assassin (2015)

[full fjord]

Discussion Questions:
1️⃣ The Assassin’s Choice
In The Assassin, Nie Yinniang is trained to obey orders and eliminate her target without hesitation. But when she returns to Weibo, her mission becomes personal.
Do you think a true assassin should follow the mission no matter what — or should they have the right to judge whether the target deserves to die?

2️⃣ Power, Loyalty, and the Jianghu
The world of The Assassin is not only about swords and killing — it is also about politics, family power, loyalty, and betrayal.
In a dark wuxia world like PBZ, do you think the greatest danger comes from powerful enemies, or from the systems and factions controlling everyone behind the scenes?

3️⃣ Blade, Fate, and the Path Forward
At the heart of The Assassin, the question is not whether Nie Yinniang has the skill to kill — but what kind of path she chooses after holding power over life and death.
In a world like PBZ, where every blade carries a past and every choice may reshape one’s fate, what do you think defines a true warrior: completing the mission, following personal conviction, or finding a path beyond both?

1. An assassins mission is to carry out as proceeded, however it’s only a matter of time before killing so many can do so little when it comes to personal affairs

2. The systems and factions seems to hold more power since the order wants soul dead alongside with creating powerful foes against their will.

3. I believe PBZ carries all 3 with intertwined changes, once a true warrior turns to personal conviction but during their journey will be bound to finding a path beyond both

1. its more how u get threated before if u have no emtion ofc u are gonna kill someone in personal.
2. the greatest danger is more the system and factions u probably is just a pawn in the beginning
3. I think in PBZ soul will be first trying to find his true self and they finding the personal conviction
