	Hero - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The hero commonly possesses superhuman capabilities or idealized character traits which enable him or her to perform extraordinary, beneficial deeds (i.e., a "heroic deed") for which he or she is famous (compare villain).
		For example, the circumstances of the hero's conception are unusual; an attempt is made by a powerful male at his birth to kill him; he is spirited away; reared by foster-parents in a far country.
		In modern movies, the hero is often simply an ordinary person in extraordinary circumstances, who, despite the odds being stacked against him or her, typically prevails in the end.

	Review: Hero (2002) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Hero is not as mainstream as Crouching Tiger (if the earlier movie could have been considered "mainstream") - it has a languid pace, and, even though there are plenty of martial arts confrontations, it doesn't feel like there's a lot of action.
		Hero's long-delayed release into the North American market is primarily the fault of Miramax Films, who bought the rights, then decided to bury the movie.
		Hero's theme of self-sacrifice being necessary to serve the greater good isn't revolutionary, but it is presented with enough force that we don't dismiss it lightly.

	MovieMartyr.com - Hero
		The overall presentation of Hero is so tastefully restrained that a tiny rivulet of blood is all that ever flows after a fighter is mortally wounded.
		If Hero can’t quite attain the emotional heft of CTHD or Wong Kar-Wai’s Ashes of Time, or allow for a monologue as remarkable as Maggie Cheung’s was in the latter film, it’s far from a shallow effort on dramatic grounds.
		The gray morality of its action heroes might be a bit tougher for Chinese audiences to swallow, however, since the film never delivers anything so simple (or fun) as a bad guy.

	Hero (2002)
		This fight does not represent the best of their careers in terms of movement or form, but the scene is so crisp and clear in its execution, that one cannot but be in awe of the spectacle.
		Hero is Zhang Yimou's first foray into the martial arts genre, it having been a project he had loosely conceived of well before Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon made martial arts film a legitimate modern art form.
		Yet, a case could be made that the ideal swordsman who upheld justice would do what's right for the majority and not to satisfy his or her own desire for blood.

	Hero Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net
		"Hero" begins with the arrival of a nameless warrior (Jet Li of "Kiss of the Dragon") at the palace of King Qin (Chen Daoming).
		With a budget of $20 million US, "Hero" is by far the most expensive Chinese film to date, and it certainly shows with the lavish production design, the hundreds of extras, the well-choreographed swordplay (courtesy of Ching Siu-tung, who was the action director on "Shaolin Soccer"), and the extensive use of CGI.
		"Hero" is most reminiscent of Wong Kar-wai's "Ashes of Time (Dung che sai duk)", as it mixes emotional introspection with artful imagery, from the constant billowing of hair and clothing to the sight of magnificent sun-swept vistas.

	Hero movie page - Zhang Ziyi at HelloZiyi.us
		A masterpiece on every level, Hero brings together China's biggest stars under the helm of it's best director, Zhang Yimou (The Road Home.) Jet Li stars as Nameless, and he comes to the King's palace with the story of how he defeated the kingdom's three most feared assassins.
		Based on the historical legend of China's first emperor, "Hero" is a wild and lovely fantasia: a feast of lavish visuals and a heart-stopping explosion of cinema pyrotechnics and fight choreography that, in scene after scene, leaves you almost breathless.
		Hero’s characters, themselves, led by Broken Sword, learn progressively to renounce what they have been striving for, and grow to accept that their goals were merely provisional, way-stations on the path to something greater, though less tangible.

	Filmtracks: Hero (Tan Dun)
		Hero: (Tan Dun) The biggest domestic grosser in Chinese film history, Zhang Yimou's Hero was the natural progression of styles from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon into an even bigger and more lavish production.
		Dun is not necessarily altering Hero for that specific purpose, but the more warlike nature of this second score causes the brass and percussion to be more recognizable than the dominant string material typically inherent in Dun's writing.
		Overall, Hero is a pleasant and more readily enjoyable score than Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, with a few militaristic cues of bombast tempered by 45 minutes of beautiful treatment of the score's primary theme.

	Hero (2002)
		Hero does have its share of emotional baggage, but it's subjugated to the ultimate "message" delivered by Zhang and company.
		Also, Hero's martial arts are contemplative and without explicit tension, and—unlike CTHD—seem soley intended to convey emotional states or thematic metaphor.
		It would be too much to ask everyone to jettison their personal and intellectual baggage before seeing this film, and no one should.

		Zhang Yimou sounds defensive when he speaks of Hero as "a genre piece." The implication is: just a genre piece, a diversion, a long sword fight played by grownups.
		Hero marks a return to that precise, luscious style after a decade in which Zhang flirted with less beguiling visual and narrative strategies.
		Hero is a reunion of sorts for the principals.

	[KFCC] Hero Review
		The plot of HERO unravels itself in different stories of the same account, in the sense that as each new perspective is told, the truth becomes more evident; even lies add up to the reality and development of the arc.
		Each scene is represented by a different color therefore various emotions and meanings are displayed and laid out for interpretation.
		HERO is like watching a dream, one that is awash in vivid color and splashed in liquid imagination.

		The result is not so much a historical epic as a kind of highly determined ballet: dreamy with bloodless violence, relying less on shades of character than on magnificence of gesture, and closer to the Michael Powell of "The Red Shoes" or "Tales of Hoffmann," say, than to the strivings of David Lean.
		Criticism of HERO as Communist Party propaganda is laughably absurd and demonstrates a severe lack of understanding of Chinese history.
		HERO evokes the founding of a nation and one unknown man's ultimate decision to sublimate his desire for revenge to the greater good of his country.

		With "Hero," another "Crouching Tiger" arises as Zhang Yimou ceates his own imperial martial arts epic with a first-rate cast, sparks-flying swordplay and breathtaking scenery.
		Some critics have argued that "Hero" is pro-China propaganda, exonerating a brutal regime's totalitarian thumb.
		More likely, "Hero" is a poignant statement to his country and government, a conciliatory parable that offers redemption and choice -- war and violence versus peace and understanding.

		Bubber is able to convince as the real hero, because he gave Laplante a lift immediately after the accident (and is handed Laplante's second shoe as a thank-you, to "pay for the gas"), and thus heard the full story of Laplante's adventure firsthand.
