      "Hero" review

      The film's breathtaking imagery somewhat overshadows the content, which is where the film's imbalance lies. It is from the beginning of the hero that Zhang Yimou switched from focusing on content to focusing on graphics and form in many of the following films (in fact, his previous pictures were quite beautiful). In view of the artistic temperament of this film, it is still a film with a certain quality, but Jiang Langcai, who Zhang Yimou built against the background of the times, has...

      "Hero" is an inevitable

      "Hero" is actually an inevitable
              essay: Liang Weixing,
              I have always been uninterested in hyped things, and even less interested in Zhang Yimou. This person has never given me even a little surprise or shock.
              Therefore, I have no enthusiasm for "Heroes" at all, and when the online scolding is overwhelming, I know that my speculation about Zhang has come true again. I'm not disappointed, what's there to be disappointed about? Can this person shoot anything...

      Hero Script Modification

      Written a long time ago.

      A few things I found after reading "Heroes":
      1. Zhang Manyu is old and her skin is not as good as Zhang Ziyi's;
      2. 2. Tony Leung's costumes are wretched, and Jet Li and Chen Daoming are stupid at grandma's house
      ; Zhang Yimou's heart is so young! 3. People in their fifties, making this kind of Japanese manga-style film is the favorite of young people in their twelfth and twenties
      ; When something is added by the Japanese, it will change its...

      hero

      It really is a blockbuster, mysterious and mysterious.

      In the first sky, music and martial arts are interlinked, the sound is loud and the voice is heard, the battle of ideas is mysterious and mysterious.

      The second Canxue, swordsmanship and martial arts are similar.

      Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung have half-covered hair, and the two women's fight scenes are very slow. This kind of martial arts is beautiful and not bloody, and it is a more agreeable method....

      Those who do not understand the historical background cannot appreciate this film

      After watching the movie Heroes after watching the Daqin Empire, I felt in a trance that there are too many people in China who understand technology, but they don’t understand beauty, they don’t understand beauty, they don’t understand culture, they don’t understand culture and they don’t understand historical background. With the war, the people suffered and suffered in the same way, and most Chinese people only criticized the film from the commanding heights of technology, but did not...

    Behind the scenes gags

    In terms of clothing and character design, Zhang Yimou did not understand Japanese and Hetian Huimei did not understand Chinese. There were inevitably problems in the cooperation process. However, after Hetian Huimei finished the design, Zhang Yimou made a decisive choice.
    Zhang Yimou can be said to be the most energetic and hardest person in the whole crew during the filming. He only takes a few shots every day. Sometimes one shot has...

    Background creation

    After filming "Happy Time" in 2000, Zhang Yimou decided to make a martial arts movie. He spent three years preparing the film. At first I wanted to adapt the works of Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng, but it didn't succeed, so I decided to do it myself. After the script was implemented, Zhang Yimou began to look for actors and invited Tony Leung to play Can Jian, Maggie Cheung to play Feixue, Chen Daoming to play King Qin, Zhang Ziyi to play...

    Positive view

    The main characters in the film are all dressed in solid and brightly colored costumes, with solid color decorations, which are very personal and full of meaning. The different colors also seem to imply the different fates of the four protagonists, which has also become a major artistic achievement of the film.
    "Hero" is an important symbol of director Zhang Yimou's artistic transformation in the face of film globalization and...

    Negative view

    The plot of the film is too thin to support a 90-minute feature film. The storyline of the film itself is more complicated for Westerners, but it is too simple for Easterners. The plot lacks the truth that is close to life. I feel that the changes in the character's character before and after are relatively abrupt, and the axe marks are deeper, and the authenticity is lost. It gives people the feeling that the acting is not a man, but...

    Movie quotes

    • [last title card]

      Title card: The nameless warrior was executed as an assassin but buried as a hero. The King of Qin went on to conquer all of the six Kingdoms and unite the country. As China's first Emperor he completed the Great Wall to protect his subjects. This was more than two thousand years ago. But even now when the Chinese speak of their country They call it Our land.

    • Nameless: Your Majesty, my task is completed now. My decision will cause the deaths of many and Your Majesty will live on. A dead man begs you to remember; a warrior's ultimate act is to lay down his sword.

    • Old Servant: You Must Remember! Strong as the arrows Of Quing may be; though they will shatter Our Cities and destroy Our Nation, they shall Never Extinguish Zhao's Written Word. Today, I Shall Teach You the True Spirit of Our Culture!
