Film Review: Hero (Jet Li)

Quiz 1

The change in the dominant colors implies a meaning – what is it?

The change in the dominant colors represents the different versions of the story that’s being told.
*Red - The color red signifies a lie. When Nameless makes up the story to explain how he defeated the assassins, otherwise the Emperor will suspect conspiracy.
*Blue - The color blue signifies the belief of the King. The Emperor's version of what most likely happened, that Nameless did not defeat them, but they volunteered to sacrifice themselves for the mission.
*White - The color white signifies the truth. The true storyline of what really happened.
*Green – The color green signifies the past, which explains why the Emperor is still alive and why he shouldn't be killed. It also explains why Broken Sword didn't help to fend off the arrows.


Quiz 2

Who is the “hero” in the film?

The hero in the film is “Nameless” (Jet Li). Even though he is the primary conspirator behind the elaborate plan to assassinate the Emperor, he ultimately decides that China's unification and peace are far more important than vengeance for his family.
