Review of Hero

Hero (2002)
beautiful pro-imperial dumbness
11 November 2003
It's really beautiful, and makes the Matrix boys look like the kids they are. But what is this movie actually saying? Try this: rather than fighting murderous, expansionist emperors, would-be heros should realize that all the emperor wants is peace. As in the past, China will reunite the "seven kingdoms" under one great father for the good of all.

Since when did the tradition that brought us a really good Western about the Qin dynasty, Ashes of Time, degenerate into this pro-imperial dumbness?
