Andy Goldsworthy....Hero?
Did anyone else notice that Hero looks like the Andy Goldsworthy documentary Rivers and Tides with gravity-defying martial arts action? Take a look at the amped-up color in the natural background settings of some of these photos from Hero and then think back to your favorite scene from the documentary (mine might be the chained-together rainbow of leaves floating down the river). Maybe if Goldsworthy had included fight scenes wherein he takes on critics who won't approach his work seriously, his movie's box office take would have been much higher....
