Review: Hero (英雄) (2002)

Okay, I get it. I get the hype lmao. I watched this movie a long time ago as a child but I didn't quite understand it, of course. All I remembered from it was the vibrant colours.

Watching as an adult, I understand why this movie is so deserving of praise. This movie is so grand and epic in scale, with lovely visuals. The story itself incorporates Eastern philosophies and challenges them, but still resolves them in a way that makes sense to the Eastern mind.

Spoilers.
