  • Hero

    It a great movie. Actually, it is a chinese language with english subtitle and it is very long. I saw some people was left because of headache about chinese language. Also, the great wall was build after the hero buried.

    I have been to the great wall of China in spring 1996 when I go on the school trip in Beijing.

    Therefore, the real temple was huge in Beijing.

    Have you seen the movie?

    I saw the movie in China about a year ago.

    DO NOT WATCH IT. (Unless you liked Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, of course).

    They are the same style.

    You have to see some REAL Chinese martial arts movies.

      LOL, I was sleeping half way watching Crouching Tiger! (Actually not even half way).

      By the way, P Bateson, are you a British ex-pat living in Hong Kong?

        I thought i'm the only one who think it's very boring.

        I think he's a Chinese because ......

          I have to say that all movies & dramas from Taiwan & Mainland China suck a lot with the exception of one drama from Mainland China > Love Talk.

          As for those movies from Hong Kong, it suck too but their Dramas are quite good .

            I saw it with a group of friends when it first premiered here in late 2002 (it grossed millions of dollars in Hong Kong alone). All of us really liked it, and we thought it was better than Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. One thing I like a lot about Hero is director Zhang Yimou's emphasis on culture and history (in contrast to Crouching Tiger). For example, the whole movie is in classical, not modern, Chinese. A number of scenes were also filmed in some of the most beautiful places in mainland China (e.g. Jiuzhaigou and Guilin).

            The only bad thing about it was that the storyline got really confusing at one point, and seemed to go around in circles - that's until you understand the whole plot. One piece of advice: pay attention to the colours, as they have a symbolic significance.

            Apart from that, I highly recommend it.

            By the way, P. Bateson once described himself as "Hong Kong British" on these boards.

              Anyone watched the Beijing 2008 Olympic 8 mins performance by Zhang Yi Mou at the Athens 2004 Olympic closing ceremony?

              In that case, I see a need in resitting my IELTS and TOEFL tests which I have done years ago before I started University in London.....

              He really reminds me of "ScottyAir" (or however you spell it) from A.net

                sorry, who is Zhang Yi Mou ? I only saw a small girl singing last night, quite a funny song, i've heard the same version of song in Indonesia when i was a small kid.

                    No, i really have no idea who is this guy. I'm not from China & i don't understand Chinese even though 50% of myself is actually Chinese. We seldom talk about Chinese people here in Indonesia.

                          I think he's just typing in his own kind of shorthand writing - plus ScottysAir is actually deaf/mute, so he types in American Sign Language.

                            Is that right? How can you tell?

                              my friend didnt like it and said reading subtitles is too confusing when they come and go so fast.


                              How does an airline thats going bankrupt sign new regional carriers, launch a discount airline, purchase new planes, AND repaint their fleet? I dunno, ask United.
