Now I saw it and loved it. (10/10 stars) Well I have a few questions about Hero, but even though I did know the plot, I wasen't sure.

So let me see if I got it right.

Nameless is brought to see the king of the Qin palace and he's telling him the story. But the emporerer knows it's a lie and then Nameless tells him the real story. Then in the real story Sky isn't dead, Nameless just used that one move that wounds you, but doesn't kill you. Then in front of the Qin guards he "kills" Snow, but he doesn't he just uses the wounding move on her. Then Moon tries to fight. Then we realize that Sky, Snow, and Nameless are the assassians and that Broken Sword knows not to kill him, cause he knows that even though there will be death, it's for the greater good. Then Snow tells her servant if the assassination works bring a red flag, if not bring a yellow flag. Then when Nameless is talking to the emporerer he says he's from Zhoa (speeling sorry) and that he's here to kill him. Then when he's about to do it, he doesn't cause he listened to Broken Sword. And Broken sword told him that the ideal for a warrior is not to raise your sword, but to go in peace. And that if you train and kill in hatred that there is no sword in your heart, but if you kill for good, you have the sword in your heart. So then Snow is mad at Broken Sword and tells him to raise his sword. He does, but he doesn't want to kill her cause he says the only thing in his heart is her, and she doesn't believe him so insted of blocking her sword and killing her and lets her kill him to show her that he loves her and she's the only thing in his heart. She is depressed and is questioning why he didn't fight. Then she kills herself so she can be together with him in heaven. Then when Moon comes and cries that her master and his former lover is dead. Then when Nameless gets to the wall, the emporerer tells the soldiers to execute him, cause he was gonna kill him and that they need to make an example of him. He doesn't want to kill Nameless, but he knows he must. So they kill him and give him a hero's burial. So then Broken Sword, Snow, and Nameless all die, but Moon and Sky live, and then all the chinease nations unite and everyone becomes peaceful.

Am I right? If I'm wrong please correct me cause I want to understand it fully. The movie was great. It made me feel sad for the lovers and Nameless and the fight scenes and colors dazzeled me.

I didn't read the ENTIRE thing, but I read about halfway through, and you seemed pretty right.

Actually he states that the good of china is in his heart and then snow asks if that is all there is and he says that there is her also.

Then in the real story Sky isn't dead, Nameless just used that one move that wounds you, but doesn't kill you.

On this i think it would be helpful to point out to you what my theory is behind the colors. Each one of the stories of the past has its own color based on the person who's telling it(i.e. nameless's is red, broken sword's is green etc.). Each color represents a perversion of the truth by the teller's emotion. The truth is portrayed in white because white encompasses all colors and so, in symbolism, encompasses all emotions. So anything that happens in white is truth. I have not figured out the emotions that the colors represent, i believe that red could represent hate or bloodlust(an interesting fact is that no blood is shown except in the red, or nameless's, version of the story). I think that black might be desire to keep peace and not kill. This is supported by the fact that in the end, the headdresses of the Qin imperial gaurd change from black to red and back and forth while the Qin warlord is debating in his mind whether or not to kill nameless. When he is finally executed the headdresses are red. I don't have any other theories on what the other colors stand for. I hope this helped.

When this movie appeared in front of the public,it was critized by lots people...Almost all my friends around didn't like it lot...But it really made a big success , the top box office ever in China..

The reason people didn't like it might be the way the director tells this story..Personally I like croatching tiger ,hidden dragon more...

By the way, another similar movie will hit USA around Dec this year...I think it is better than HERO...Anyway,Enjoy it , guys!!
