I saw the commercial. It left me disoriented. Must see. Like crouching tiger hidden dragon *meets* jet Li *meets* stupidity. Awesome.
The End of the World: Two Starbucks, right across from each other. You get your coffee, go out of one, look across the street and say "HOLY SH*T! There another one!!!" Its like your stuck in some alternate dimesion......
I'd consider Quentin to be an associate producer, but fair enough. Apparently the 20 minutes were originally cut because they were "too Asian and confusing".
I thought Hero was so fantastically fantastic that..well, yeah.
The use of color is brilliant, the action is incredible (especially the Donnie Yen/Jet Li fight scene - I believe they haven't fought since Once Upon a Time in China II), the score is great, the lighting is great, the script is amazing, the acting is wonderful, the morals and themes...my god!
I bet Jackie Chan feels like a ding dong now. And not in a good way.
Saw this in theaters on Sunday. I liked it even more than Crouching Tiger. Only thing I didn't like as much was the wire-fighting. It just seemed too. . . wire. It took me out of the movie for a moment. With Crouching Tiger it looked and felt so much more natural.
Of course, none of the wire fu took place in reality, which is I think what people get hung up on.
For the record, I thought Crouching Tiger sucked and I was ashamed for Chow Yuen Fat, who is one of my heros. Don't even get me started on Bulletproof Monk.
I saw "Hero" yesterday. I very much enjoyed it as did my wife who grew up on pulp kung-fu novels. I thought it was a beautiful story, tho the story in itself is not based upon any legend that I'm familiar with. If you are keen on the legends of the time, you might try The Emperor and the Assassin which is more true to the legend of the King of Qin (Qin pronounced more like Chin). Regardless, I thought the movie was beautifully done. BTW, the director of "Hero" also directed the closing ceremony of the Olympics this summer.
oh baby...can't wait to see it. hahah...'too asian and confusing'. disturbed westernites. also, don is right...this is based on a really old Chines legend, however i think it happens differently in the movie...not sure.
but boy....*drooool
i'd see it just for Jet Li, Donnie Yen, and Ziyi Zhang.....hehehe...Ziyi....ah yes
