I just went with KT to see the movie hero, done by the same guy as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Dear god did that movie kick ass, it was really circular storyline, and my god the colour imagery was almost overwhelming. Now, I'm gonna spoil it, so if you want to see this movie DON'T READ ANY MORE!
A man goes to the emperor one day, he is granted this honour by achieving something no one thought possible. For 10 years the emperor has been in fear of his life from 3 amazingly talented assasins. This man, though nameless and unknown, has defeated all 3 assasins and won the honour of riches, land and the right to sit within 10 feet of the emperor to have tea.
Over tea they discuss how the man has gone about defeating the 3 assasins, but here's the twist, the truth is far from what he tells the emperor. The story is a brilliant work of art, the cinematography, fighting, and style is absolutely amazing, and damn good music too.
Absolutely brilliant, but be warned, for anyone who can't follow subtitles, it is in either Mandarin or Cantonese (not sure which) and is subtitled.
