YesAsia Editorial Description

Zhang Yimou's martial arts epic Hero brought Chinese film into international cinema. The film won an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film at the 75th Academy Awards, a nomination for Best Film at the 60th Golden Globes Awards, and the Alfred Bauer Prize for Innovation at the 53rd Berlin International Film Festival. The film's all-star cast includes Jet Li, Tony Leung, Maggie Cheung, Donnie Yen, Zhang Ziyi, and Chen Daoming.

At the end of China's Warring States era, the Kingdom of Qin is the most ruthless and ambitious of the seven states. The Qin Emperor (Chen Daoming) is the target of assassins from all over China, the most formidable of whom are Broken Sword (Tony Leung), Flying Snow (Maggie Cheung), and Sky (Donnie Yen). When Nameless (Jet Li) kills all three, he is given a chance to meet the Emperor. Nameless explains to the Emperor how he used their personal relationships to expose and attack their weaknesses, but the Emperor tells a different version of the same story...

+ SYNOPSIS

‘전국 7웅’이라 불렸던 막강한 일곱 국가들이 지배하던 춘추전국시대의 중국대륙.. 각각의 왕국은 천하통일의 대업을 이루기 위해 무자비한 전쟁을 수 없이 치뤘다. 그 결과 무고한 백성들은 수 백년 동안 죽음과 삶의 고통을 견뎌내야만 했다. 그 중에서도 가장 강력한 군대를 갖고 있는 진나라의 왕 영정(진도명 분)은 중국대륙 전체를 지배하여 첫번째 황제가 되려는 야심에 가득 차 있었다. 이미 절반이 넘는 중국대륙을 평정한 그는 나머지 여섯 국가의 가장 큰 암살 표적이 되어있었지만, 1만 명이 넘는 왕실의 호위 군사와 항상 왕의 백 보 안에서 움직이는 최정예 호위대 7인을 돌파하여 영정을 암살하기란 그리 쉬운 일은 아니었다.

그러나, 암살의 위협에서도 자기 고집을 꺾지 않고 세상을 피로 물들이는 영정에게도 두려운 존재가 있었다. 바로 자신을 노리는 자객들 중 전설적인 무예를 보유한 세 명의 자객.. 은모장천(견자단 분)과 파검(양조위 분), 비설(장만옥 분)이 그 주인공인데 일 당 천의 무예와 검술을 보유한 그들은 호시탐탐 영정의 목을 노렸다. 이에 영정은 자신의 백 보 안에 그 누구도 가까이 하지 못하게 하는 백 보 금지령을 내렸고 수 많은 돈과 관직을 그들의 현상금으로 내걸어 그들을 사냥하기에 이르렀다. 그리고 그들의 목을 친 자에게는 황제의 십 보 안에서 황제를 직접 알현할 영광이 주어지는데...

best version of the director's Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
Just about everyone has seen this movie and already knows the story, soundtrack, acting, directing, and the cinematography, so I'm just reviewing this disc.

This Hong Kong Edko Films Ltd. release is the best version of the director's cut (roughly 10 minutes longer than the non-director's cut). Compared to the Guangdong Face Home Video release, this Edko release has a much better picture quality, the opening and closing words on the screen are shown in English (good for those who can't read the Chinese characters), and the Face release has an annoying watermark that pops up regularly thoughout the film - this Edko version does not. However, the Edko version lacks Faye Wong's song in the credits and there are no bonus materials at all on the DVD. Also, the description is incorrect - this Edko version DOES indeed have optional English subtitles. There's a comparision of the two director's cut releases on dvdactive.com. Enjoy!

US Version was disappointing. Customer Review Rated Bad 5 - 5 out of 10
Historically correct to an extent but I according to history kung fu did not appear til after this era. Also, the flying over waters is too fantasy-like, not only that but it just doesn't look good nor realistic. But what I disliked most especially from the US version alone is a line "Our Nation" Historically the prhase was "All Under Heaven" and I believe the Hong Kong version says All Under Heaven but "Our Nation"? Sounds like a Christian person editted this or something...

Twisted from dictatorship Customer Review Rated Bad 3 - 3 out of 10
This movie is definitely a piece of art.

The king is a BAD king in Chinese history who unified China but killed lots and lots of scholars, and civilians, and destroyed existing cultures and books.

Unified a kingdom and then killed lots of people and destroyed all previous cultures and books are serious crimes! The hero in this movie should kill the king.

However, in this movie, the story wants to tell the audience that unifying China is a glory itself, and killing lots of civilians is not a crime, is a necessity, is a process.

This is a twisted logic that debase human values.

I heard that this movie was written and funded by a dictationship country -- Mainland China Communist Party.

A Decent Movie with Excellent Artistry Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
First of all, the images in this movie are beautiful. Each camera angle was thought out carefully by the director, envoking vibrant colors that portray the mood of the scene. It's the artistic quality that has captured me when watching this film. The plotline is pretty interesting, with skilled actors/actresses. It's a step-up from previous martial-arts movies.
