jecks juvenile journals

Just came back from the movies where I saw “Hero”. [Spoilers] I was a little bit disappointed, but it’s still a good movie. Instead of seeing the good and spectacular martial-arts-action I expected, I got an odd mixture of 2001, Tiger and Dragon and The usual suspects. Most of the time I felt like watching very good art photos in a darkened gallery. The movie is worth seeing for the rich outfits and settings, the wonderful fighting scene between Donnie Yen and Jet Li and the overwhelming pictures. If you want to see action: Don’t go there. If you want to see asian aesthetica at its best: Go see it. [/Spoilers]
