Artist's Comments

I love the Chinese movie Hero (英雄 or Yīngxióng)!! :love:
The story is sooo beautiful and it's such an artistic movie!!

I made this picture after a beautiful scene from the movie, with Flying Snow in it: [link]



It's directed by Zhang Yimou and it's a legend about a group of assassins: Flying Snow 飛雪 , Broken Sword 殘劍 and Sky 長空 have sworn to kill the king of the Qin dynasty 秦王. The Nameless warrior 無名 comes to the royal capital to claim the reward offered for their defeat. The movie tells the story of his conversation with the King of Qin, and through a beautiful series of flashbacks depicts the journey he took to earn the honor of sitting before the emperor.

Flying Snow is a skilled female assassin, Broken Sword's lover and his equal as a swordsman. The daughter of a prominent Zhao general who fell in battle against the Qin Emperor, she swears revenge against the Emperor, drafting Broken Sword to her cause. Unlike Broken Sword, she harbors the deepest grudge against the Emperor. But all she does comes from great love, with a great sense of honor.

The movie received many awards and recognitions:
* Hero was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar at the 2003 Academy Awards but lost to Nowhere in Africa (Germany).
* Zhang Yimou won the Alfred Bauer Award at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2003 for his work in Hero.
* The National Society of Film Critics awarded Zhang Yimou their Best Director award.
* The New York Film Critics Circle recognized cinematographer Christopher Doyle with its award for Best Cinematography.
* The Chicago Film Critics Association awarded Hero Best Cinematography, alongside Martin Scorsese's The Aviator.
* The Online Film Critics Society awarded Hero Best Cinematography and Best Foreign Language Film.
* Hero received seven Hong Kong Film Awards in 2003, including Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Visual Effects, and Best Sound. The movie was also nominated for seven other awards, including Best Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Actress, Best Song, and Best Director.
