5.0 out of 5 stars
unforgettable journey through color and art with zhang yimou,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hero (Blu-ray) (DVD)
how should i begin? this is a movie that captivates me time and time again. i see new details in each showing. i first saw it in widescreen theater, then again on dvd, and finally in the blu-ray version. zhang yimou has accomplished a complicated task in balancing good storytelling with vivid colorful details and good action. this is art in its high form: pure color artistry. if you like tony leung-chiu-wai, you'll be convinced that in this movie, he clearly shows his range. maggie cheung-man-yuk is wonderful as usual. the weakest contribution is probably zhang yi-yi, who only seems to have one face in the whole picture. not surprisingly, she does not have too many roles outside of a few films. if you remember zhang yimou for his wonderful direction at the 2008 olympics ceremonies, this is the movie to re-enforce his standing as china's modern direction with colors. a well-made blu-ray, but it is not without flaws, as some scenes show grain -- at least more than i was expecting to see. however, it's still one of the best addition to my video library.
