Forum Overview :: Peter Molyneux's The Movies :: Re: Hero

[quote name="Choson"][quote name="Lurker Shoomoser"]If Zhang Yimou used the money he earned in Hero to finance his next movie, which is <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0385004/" target=yourass>this</a>, then the new batch of Chinese execution in football stadium should include him as well. Creativity has returned at the expense of COMMON SENSE. Spoiler: one moment Jin and Leo (due to a very contrived plot) are dueling in mid summer and the next moment there is a fucking snow storm. SNOW STORM![/quote] It's pretty obvious that the snow storm isn't meant to be taken literally, unless you've been raised on Jackie Chan films. Yeah, I think there are better points to quibble about -- after all, this is an art movie, first and foremost, no matter how badly Miramax loves to sell its imports as variations on Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon's (which was also an art movie -- Sony Pictures Classics anyone?) CRAZY CHINESE ACTION. Like the plot point or lack of one where they fail to explain why exactly Takeshi Kaneshiro's character has been singled out to be trapped by the Flying Daggers folks. Or maybe I missed that bit.[/quote]
