This is the most ridiculous thing Ive ever seen.....Sitting under a rain of arrows while listening to a cheesy chinese violin and writing crappy calligraphy....How silly !
As @88Subb said, it is CHINESE FOLKLORE, of course it is not realistic, it is not the point of a folklore myth to be realistic, such a bunch of asshole retards trying to be smartass here
@Luisgarzat95 You will need to understand the movie as a whole to understand why he just keeps painting, he was not inventing a new way to write the character sword, but writing it in a way which is very rare and requires a lot of skill, the idea is they are not phased by the armies which have come for them, which is why the students of the school do the same despite the barrage off arrows, its a very powerful scene.
@THEMASTERG3 The movie is a Wuxia movie, the main characters often display martial arts skills which far surpasses the abilities of normal characters, to understand the scene you will need to watch the movie as a whole
What's the point of this scene? It's laughably impossible, the would be killed instantly as soon as they opened the door. You get a scene like this in the movie and it just screams "this movie not to be taken seriously". It's like something from a kiddie cartoon.
@Bloodgod40: LOL have you ever heard of the concept of "wuxia"? There are scenes in other wuxia movies which are even more unrealistic than this. Ever heard of "Eighteen Dragon Slaying Palms"? You supposed to create "chi" blasts the shape of a freaking dragon to strike your opponents. LOL see, that is wuxia man, fantasy. If you ever go to China, you'll know that instantly.
@anhkhoashevakt why the hell are you even explaining this to some moron. I have seen people on youtube watching these scenes (or others such as those in Japanese fantasy) and then feeling the urge to exclaim, almost teach people, that that "Asians can't fly"! Funny they don't feel the similar need to say Wolverine can't have claws, spiderman can't climb walls, Gandalf can't cast spells, or Persian monsters don't exist. This mentality is from a western superiority complex rather than ignorance
lol, their classroom or what ever that is, is filled with arrows and their still goin on with their art class... sucks for them.... ill never complain about my class ever again.. lol
The thing is, I doubt the director of Hero intended it to be cheesy. We're all well aware of it when Tarantino throws in large doses of the stuff into his films, and they're all the better because of it, but Hero was meant to be taken quite seriously, and that's why it fails.
@THEMASTERG3 its a fantasy genre called wuxia where mythical kung fu fighters have special powers. This is because the chinese never had superheroes like superman, spiderman etc.
@THEMASTERG3 its chinese folklore you idiot, it isnt made with western judgment in mind, you single minded retarded fuck, pull your head out of your dick and open your fucking eyes to the world around you, that being said....
@THEMASTERG3 It has a message that this is not the only dimension. The masters that understood chi flow and reached trance states could shift to completely different levels of clarity. (knowing they programmed reality)
@THEMASTERG3 My friend, you must view this without your cultural lens. Is it anymore cheesier then knights of the realm fending of fire breathing dragons or western action heros blasting through waves of men and surviving helicopter explosions? This is what asian folklore flics are all about, the juxtaposition of invoking a sense of poetic serenity despite the violent madness it surrounds. Art.
i bought the hero soundtrack and was soo pissed that this song wasn't on it!!! BOO! it was my favourite piece of music from the movie! 2nd would be the song that plays during hte forest fight between maggie q and ziyi zhang
probably something along those lines, they may have had like 10 guys with a decent(compared to nowadays standard) bow :p historys that gets told and told and told again from generations and then written down are always heavily exagerated. The bible is THE example :) they went way overboard, even more than this.
Well, obviously the Chinese had famous repeating crossbows and ballistas, and huge number of soldiers wielding them. Also, the Qin emperor tried to destroy different dialects and cultures of the conquered lands - that is why the written Chinese language is rather uniform nowdays.
ummmm, can you say a bit unrealistic
