Gandhi


The film Gandhi was directed by Richard Attenborough in 1982. The film was nominated and received numerous awards such as best picture, best director, and best actor (Ben Kingsley). In a historical perspective, many claimed that the film was historically inaccurate. According to the author of the article, Michael Hofland, many people criticized the portrayal of Mohammed Al Jinnah, a revolutionary in the Muslim world. Jinnah is portrayed as a terrible person, unwilling to create a cooperation between Hindus and Muslims, according to the critics. Hofland states that many people feel that Gandhi had flaws too and was not always right. The critics believe that "the film portrays him basically without a flaw, when it should show his true self." Some say that a large part film is propaganda, but nevertheless, "Gandhi was honored with many Hollywood awards and continues to be a beloved film," states Hofland.

Hero- Visually stunning


The author of the article, Mike Ward, agrees that Hero is full of color and beautifully crafted together. Hero gives the fighters the ability to "fight with flight." It's an amazing work of choreography and pieced throughout the movie just enough without being overexposed. The Film is comprised of a series of flashbacks with the conversation between the King and Nameless. "Hero strongly relies on its fight scenes as its backbone," says Ward. We can observe that the story is strong and compelling.

Hero


When Hero was released, it was the highest grossing film in China's history. Yimou Zhang uses modern effects to create an awesome "chop-socky" epic with an emotional storyline. According to the author Andrew Wright, Hero is very closely compared to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Hero is special because Zhang embraces each scene with a special Technicolor technique. Unfortunately, there were some problems during the release. Wright states that because of import DVD's and downloadable bootlegs, there is a good chance that anyone interested in this genre will already have a copy. Piracy hurt Hero's box office income.
