The unsung Chinese history

Rating: 9/10 (3 June 2010)

Hero directed by Yimou Zhang was nominated for the Oscar in the category of the best foreign film for the year 2003.This movie surely stands out for its stunning cinematography & some great visuals.Chinese artistry through out.Plot wise too the movie is very good.The action seem fake but Chinese history goes well with these myths & jam packed terrific fighting stuff.Subtitles are the only concern again for me.The acting if Jet-Li,Daoming Chen & Maggie Cheung are sensational.Tony Leung Chiu Wai adds on well with those sophisticated looks & divine loyalty to his values.Astonishing fight scenes with assassins having the name of Nameless,Broken Sword,Flying Snow seems so astounding.Breakthrough for Chinese cinema.The ending is pretty surprisingly great.Many people will not appreciate this but if you see it till the end you will see Chinese history coming in front of you & you might feel your hands clapping in the greatness of just this movie.This is an unsung Chinese movie portraying to us the greatness of cinematography that we will ever see.
