Magic movie

Rating: 9/10 (30 August 2004)

People rated this movie 8.5 on the opposite the posts very often are tough. For me this movie is magic. The use of the colors is really fantastic. Everything you see is made by great taste. The battles are impressive and the duels are beautiful. The acting is very very good. I don't agree with who says that this movie is philosophically wrong because tales without criticism about the 1st selfnominated Emperor Shi Huangdi who was a bloody dictator. The philosophy Ghandi style of Broken Sword is the real message of the movie. The nameless warrior don't get a name because he is just the metaphoric representation of the nemesis. Believe me this is a great great movie. It sounds to me very strange that "Hero" needed two years to find a distribution in the USA and it gets so poor advertising. That means that distributors are blind. In my opinion this movie is very better than "Crouching Tiger...". Usually I like fast action movies but this was so magic! Unfortunately actors speak Chinese with English subtitles and sometimes reading takes away your attention from the scenes, any the way I rate "Hero" 9/10.
