Hero


Hero is a film that takes place in China around the 3rd Century. At this time, China is divided into seven kingdoms all looking to control the whole land. The king of Qin, Chen Daoming, is at risk for assassinations because he is the most powerful. In he film, Broken Sword and Flying Snow are the top two assassins looking to kill the Qin King. They are undefinable till one day, Nameless, over powers them both in his own revenge to kill the king. The author of the article finds the film, "beautiful and exquisite". Each scene is made with a different color pattern and the colors reflect each different character specifically. The other aspect the author finds amazing is the camera shot during the fighting scenes. It is a movie you can see more the once because the color schemes are so pleasing. The subtitles are at times hard to follow but you can connect to the plot.
