Imagine a 90 minute classical music video filmed in beautiful locations.<\/p>\n

Imagine a martial arts sword movie with lots of wire work.<\/p>\n

Toss the two in a Cuisenart…et voil\u00e0! Hero<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hero<\/a> is a true visual and musical treat for fans of Chinese\/Hong Kong martial arts movies.\u00a0 Containing more emotional content then any action film ought to, presenting a striking visual style and possessed of a musical score with acres of pedigree Hero<\/a> is a movie that defies you to find a frame of reference.<\/p>\n

While the pure artistry of this movie is beyond compare, it is a martial arts movie… if you don’t like the genre, you may find the story won’t hold your attention.\u00a0 If, however, you’re up for a feast of optic gluttony served up with a heaping side of musical goodness, you won’t be disappointed.\u00a0 Tan Dun<\/a>‘s score featuring Itzhak Perlman<\/a> and KODO Drummers of Japan<\/a> makes you just sit back and rub your belly.\u00a0 Mmmm… tasty.<\/p>\n

I could go on about how beautiful this movie is… but instead I ask you to just look… the use of color in this film\u00a0borders on\u00a0overwhelming and yet is delivered with incomparable precision… they whipped out a big ol’ Technicolor sledge hammer and did finish carpentery… and you won’t find a missed stroke anywhere.<\/p>\n
