Hero is a Chinese film directed by Zhang Yimou in 2002. The story is based on true history in 227 BC that a swordsman Jing Ke prepared for ten years to kill the King of Qin. This is also the main storyline of the movie. The story is simple, however Zhang Yimou utilized color to narrate the story in different angles so that audiences can learn about the story through different characters and their situations. This kind of nonlinear narrative is not a new technology in film narrative, such as Pulp Fiction filmed by Quentin Tarantino and Rashomon filmed by Japanese director Akira Kurosawa which are both the most famous nonlinear narrative movies. But the biggest difference between Hero and other nonlinear narrative movies is that the medium of shifting perspectives in Hero is color.
