Hero

Hero is a story about a nameless, at first, hero that has slain the three most deadly assassins and because of tat granted an audience with the emperor. The emperor wants to know the whole story of how this Nameless defeated all three of these amazing martial artists.

As the hero is recounting the story I was awestruck. It seemed like I didn’t blink the entire movie. Her is one of if not the most beautiful scenic movies I have ever seen in my life. No matter where they were, dark, light, any color, it was all so breathtakingly beautiful. I in all honesty can say that every scene of this movie was picture perfect.

Though the filmography was amazing and stunningly put together the music also played a huge part in the film. The blind man playing the guzheng (I think that is what it is called) to the violins and cellos. Even the leaves in the fight between Mood and Falling Snow play music. It always set the mood for the fight about to occur.

The story cannot go without being mentioned. It holds its own against the beauty of the scenes and music. You soon realize that you cant trust anything you see or here. One story is a lie, the next a fantasy. The characters go through development as well they go from being mindless warriors to people with personalities. You get to know how they work, their bravery, love, and passions.

The way the story is told is an art style in itself. The story progresses and we see the same individuals fighting each other but in a progression of certain colors. Red symbolized chaos and passion, blur was unity and perfection, white for purity, truth, and vastness, and green for enlightenment and youth. Each relating to their story and how it pertained to what really happened.

There isn’t a bad thing I can think of about this movie. It was a treat for both Martial arts fans and general moviegoers. I cannot express how beautiful this movie is, every frame is perfect and gorgeous.
