The great warrior named Unnamed comes to the Qin emperor, and tells how it dealt with three main enemies. Man, which began with the revival of the Chinese cinema, Zhang Imou ( "Red fan) withdrew picture milestone: a film that lovers of Chinese fairy tales about flying warriors waited for all his life.

The great warrior named Unnamed came to the Emperor Qin to explain how he dealt with his three main enemies - Slomannym Sword, Flying Snow and sky. During the conversation history, seen through the eyes of different characters, it appears so, the insurgents, but what actually happened - not so important. The main point is that one of the interlocutors leaving Imperial pokoi hero.

Staging withdrew Yimou picture, put option scored a seat. This is the film that lovers of Chinese fairy tales about flying warriors have long been expected to thrill. To actors and good and the plot tense and dramatic fights, and the epic scale, and so that was bound to Jet Li, and the main thing - that the spirit seized as if some "watch" Gone with the Wind.

The audience spoke: "Hero" has become almost the most box-office Chinese film in history. But he moreover, followed by "Kraduschimsya tiger, a dragon zataivshimsya" (yet another approach to the "Kill Bill" Tarantino - in recognition of the fighters love Hong Kong), finally brought about the movies "Kung-fu" from the ghetto of dubious entertainment to the world of adolescence this adult film: the tape first took the Berlinale competition, "then nominated for Oscar."

And what kinonomenklatura inclined to "Hero" head, it seems very correct. After all, "Hero" is the film in its pure form, potentially - an irresistible argument in infantilnom eternal dispute about its benefits to the theatre.

Because the theater is not so happens that polutorachasovuyu confusing history of life drevnevostochnyh warmongers be regarded as a gallery with pictures, but forgot about everything in the world. To immediately wanted to buy a ticket for the next session, and then - for one, and then come home and intended frames on the walls. This narcotic effect - what are, in fact, done. What other than magic, and not be called otherwise than in the theater is not fried.
