"Hero" came out, which caused all this controversy! You can see that Hero is not about stabbing Qin, revenge or love. Although there are scenes of stabbing Qin, revenge and love in the film. Zhang Yimou only expressed a state of capitalization with the help of the shell of Qin, the appearance of revenge and the cover of love. This time, Zhang's artistic "plan" is the "freehand brushwork" of China's traditional painting, which condenses China's philosophy, culture, history and many other elements into such a beautiful artistic conception. If you have no superficial understanding of China's philosophy, culture and history, you will only see the shell, appearance and cover of this film, and you will not be very satisfied with this film. What's more, I will snicker at what Zhang Yimou must have won, such as "Nine Yin Bones Palm". This time, he will become extremely weak and "fragile"! However, "Hero" has its own internal force, and its artistic charm is everywhere in the whole film, but it is hidden. Zhang Yimou keeps saying that he made a commercial film, but it's not true. He just wants this movie to be a commercial success. He never likes to play deep. From the first film "Red Sorghum", his works give people an emotional catharsis and pay attention to vulgarity. Looking at all his works, Hero is the most like Red Sorghum, but it is not repetitive or retrogressive, but spiraling upward. Zhang Yimou always pursues breakthroughs, and each work has different contextual effects. The breakthrough of Hero reached the peak of another new stage.
