#and in a class where we've been watching shit like gladiator and braveheart

watched hero (2002) for one of my hist classes and My God what a masterpiece of filmmaking and storytelling. i've never seen a historical film do it like this. deliberately drawing attention to mythic or legendary aspects of The Epic Story. directly prompting viewers to question whether This is the way this story happened. i'm blown away i genuinely think this might be the best film i've ever seen just on the basis of like. filmmaking as a whole. not to mention the combat choreography i mean holy shit.
