    I hate this movie.

    Hero

    by michaelkotewicz

    Caught this by chance, unexpectedly beautiful, lots of spectacular samuria fighting in an arful movie fulol of beautiful images. Billowing silk sheets incredible colors, visual feast. Not a samurai movie for traditional samurai movie fans, not a boy movie. For the eye 5 stars. Michael
