Hero (英雄) and the problems with the CCP with Sean's Mom

Episode 3: Hero (英雄) and the problems with the CCP with Sean's Mom

Show notes

This week we talk about Hero, a beautiful but controversial movie directed by Zhang Yimou. We discuss Zhang's up and down relationship with the Chinese Communist Party, how he uses scale and color to emphasize emotions, and compare Jet Li to Elton Brand. At (42:30) Sean's Mom joins to give some backgroud on ancient chinese culture and customs that we see in the movie.
