Anyone in the LIst watched Zhang Yimou's HERO already? Its an awesome film that will have people compare it to Ang Lee's CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON. But HERO is so beautifully realized: the epic scope of the dawning of the first dynasty, the magic that have the warriors fight in the water like these insects in the water, and the use of colors. Not since Spike Lee's DO THE RIGHT THING was color used to advance the story. And I mean, colorful colors. Maggie Cheung, Tony Leung, Zhang Zi-Yi, Jet Li and the haunting score of Tan Dun.
And those landscapes! Dreamlike! Joseph in Manila np: Glenn Gould's "Goldberg Variations"
