Review of Hero (2002) by Ben S — 28 Mar 2010
A stunning and beautiful tale of a hero; accounted in three parts. First the hero tells of how he disposed of threats to the kingdom of Qin. Secondly comes from the rulers perspective of how he thinks the hero has actually come to assassinate him.
Lastly comes the truth, from the hero, what actually happened. The hero is revealed to be an assassin, and the term hero comes after, honour and respect for one's opponent. The use of colour to tell the story is brilliant and a different colour is used in each variation of the story.
The story itself may have perhaps been dragged out on the account of it being retold in parts, but that is the beauty and development of the story and of the characters. The only critism is that the subtitles appear to quick at times, but it isn't enough to spoil a movie, that is beautiful, epic and compelling.
Tragic consequences renders one a hero.
