The Film, Hero

In the Oxford Dictionary, Favorite is described as something or

someone that you like, In this matter that something is the film called

“Hero.” Roughly based on an assassination attempt of China’s first emperor

Chin Shi Huang Di, the motion picture “Hero” discusses the life of a ancient

This film consists of many twists and turns making it very exiting and

unpredictable. This movie was a combination of calm and spectacular battle

scenes which gives you the need to be one of the characters from the flick.

The amazing actions scenes just leap out of the screen and the film is still

able to touch your heart. In every second of this film, you can feel it’s

powerful emotions, which gets you so caught up in the world of the movie,

you hate to the return to present day world. This film dazzles it’s viewers by

its vivid colours and the whole movie is a painting in motion. My favorite

scene of “Hero” was the amazing but aggressive action scenes and also the

deep drama it created. The plot of the movie was incredible. Though “Hero”

was a spectacular film there were some things that I did not enjoy like, the

film was much too serious and I did not like the factor that most of the

movie was in flash backs.

From intense action scenes to emotional drama, I think this film can

    What components make a movie successful in cinema? Filmmakers have crafted a formula to successfully deliver the hero narrative. This formula consists of the hero’s journey and archetypes. Hero films typically follow a ten-step sequence to properly set up and execute the hero’s journey. These movies range from stories of transformations, searches, or a journey back home. Archetypes are used to employ character profile as well as add variety and depth to these stories. Ridley Scott directed Alien, in which Ellen Ripley embarks on a journey where she must survive an alien who is out on a murderous rampage and return back to Earth. Alien adds originality to its storyline by choosing a female lead instead of a male, but the film still incorporates the same heroic attributes that make a story successful. In this “going home journey” film, Scott is able to incorporate the hero’s journey and the official hero archetype towards the heroine Ellen Ripley.

    The directing in this movie, however, was really poor. The props, murders, and camera direction left much to be desired. The director Dario Argento was highly decorated throughout the 1960s, but he really showed his bad side of directing. This movie had such high potential but he really destroyed that potential.

    The mess that unfolds is so well paced and while it seems that it takes some time before the real threat is identified, the drama is slowly unfolding in the background. Rather quickly we go from scenes of an idyllic farming community to utter chaos. The lead up to the bulk of the film seems to speed by, leaving the rest to unfold very naturally as our gang of heroes tries to get the hell out of Dodge without being killed by the infected, the military, or some other random assholes. The story progresses quickly, but it feels very leisurely which allows the viewer time to absorb the horror of what is happening without a smash cut to the next scene. There is little if any footage of this movie that could have been excised and that makes every second on scene count so much more without all of the filler that normally accompany these types of stories.

  • The Concept of a Hero

    1072 Words  | 3 Pages

    Back in the days of the Odyssey and The Iliad, heroes were classified by their accomplishments. From Odysseus to Achilles, all of the men who were idolized as heroes were so idolized because of their world-altering deeds and conquests, unfathomable wealth, and achievements that would forever be remembered in history. But today, in a world pillaged by war, poverty, controversy, drugs, disease, and economic blunders, who truly deserves to be called a hero? No longer are there titans on the earth, bloodthirsty men with chain mail armor, lances and swords, leading enormous armies into battle. And yet, though circumstances have changed, people haven’t, and the need for heroes, for role models and beings of unfathomable perfection, has not dissipated from society even as the ancient hero has. In America today, the concept of a hero is much different. People in the ancient world were idolized because of inconceivable strength, wealth, or intelligence, however the people that modern Americans admire and model themselves after poses qualities such as selflessness, bravery, and determination that make them true role models.

    When you think about heroism, who comes to mind? Did you think of someone such as Superman, Sherlock Holmes, or your parents? Regardless of whom you choose, what characteristics of this hero embody your ideology of heroism? Historically, heroes were bronzy men with bulging muscles who slew villainous oppressors. Yet to my own belief, modern-day heroes are not required to be physically adept, but rather, heroes need to be authentically driven to overcoming oppression to fortify strength.

    Most of the cinematography, in fact, consists of similar long takes with very limited cutting to emphasize realism. Dialogue scenes, such as the awkward bedroom interrogation scene between Alex and his flamboyantly cautious social worker, or the turning point when Alex shares his discovery of the Ludovico treatment with the Prison Champlain, feel more tense when shot in real-time. But then there are scenes of excessive violence where montages and hand held camera angles are utilized. During the final scene in the first act, when Alex fights off the Cat-lady, the fight is shot in quick cuts from a hand held/wide angle lensed camera to give the scene a thrilling encounter.

    There is plenty of action which propels the story forward at breakneck speed. Fight sequences such as the one between Wolverine (Jackman) and Lady Death Strike (Kelly Hu) pit strength against strength, steel against steel (or in this case adamantium against adamantium), and though it struggles to get there, good usually triumphs over evil. Other stunning visual effects include the scene where Storm (Halle Berry) whips up several tornadoes to keep the “bad guys” at bay, and the scene in which Jean Grey (Janssen) holds back the raging waters of the broken dam with her powers of telekinesis.

    In the final scene from Thelma and Louise the cinematographic effects are astounding. Panning, reaction shot, and dissolve are all used in the last section of the movie clip extensively. These three cinematographic terms are perfect for this clip because of the intensity they add to the scene. Through the use of panning, reaction shot, and dissolve the actresses portray two extreme emotions of desperation and the tranquility of freedom.

    When I think of a hero I immediately think of someone who is strong, intelligent, handsome, and daring. Upon closer examination, many different qualities than these become apparent. Courage, honesty, bravery, selflessness, and the will to try are just a few of the overlooked qualities of a hero. The definition of heroism changes with the context and time. Heroes of the past are not necessarily heroes of present time and vise versa.
