Klim Zhukov and Kristina Egorova analyze the Chinese film Hero (2002) from a historical perspective. The action takes place in ancient China during the time of its division into several warring kingdoms. A nameless warrior is granted an audience with the ruler, who wants to know whether he really saved the land from three hired killers who once threatened the life of the king. The warrior tells the story of how he sent three enemies to the next world: Sky, Falling Light, and Broken Sword. The king doubts, asks questions, and we, the viewers, observe other possible interpretations of the events and imagine them in our imagination. The fate of this film largely depended on the intervention of Quentin Tarantino, who convinced the management of the American studio that the film could be released in the United States. Some scenes from Kill Bill pay tribute to this masterpiece of world cinema. Film page on Kino-Teatr.Ru: https://www.kino-teatr.ru/kino/movie/...
