very few movies can come close to perfection

Rating: 9/10 (25 May 2007)

very few movies leave me mesmerized with a sense of awe. either by its epic scale or eye to details, very few movies surpass from being just great to go on and become a truly significant milestone. they gradually become so grand that mere words are not enough to express all the emotions one experiences after watching one such movie. hero is one such great movie. grand movie. if people liked crouching tiger and hidden dragon, this is a step further in that direction and much beyond. the various confrontations are so beautifully choreographed that one loses him/herself in the melodious dance. they are so subtle yet sublime. and the colors that fill in each imagery is out of the world. each colors as if trying to portray the very mood of that particular scene. the very emotions of the character. i am not sure if the graphic novel came first or the movie came first, both are a telling masterpieces complementing each other so well. and amidst of all this, the human drama thats unfolding in front of us is filled with all the right ingredients. and the underlying philosophy that our hero finally realizes at the end of the movie is such a universal message. i hope every one of u movie fans catch this movie and watch it on a big screen with good sound system..... believe me you will savor every minute spent experiencing this wonderful movie.
