HERO, it seems, is a very promising film.

Zhang Yimou directed the great "Raising the Red Lantern".

Christ Doyle made "In The Mood for Love" simply beautiful.

Donnie Yen is a good actor. I saw him demonstrate martial arts a few years back in Boston. I like him most in the long TV series, "Fist of Fury"; a nice tribute, though much better and longer than Bruce Lee's "the Chinese Connection".

Tony Leung is quite capable. I liked him when he played a eunich. But his most memorable performance is in "Heaven Sword, Dragon Blade", adapted from a great novel. He was also great in "In the mood for love", such a beautiful and great souding film.

Overall, I like the western influence on Chinese films. First, it's the money; the more, the better the quality as a result. Second, its positive influence is similar to the way that European influence has on Korean soccer in that I think most Chinese actors have great potential and they just need to be pushed differently.
