OK, I'm sorry, I have to go on a rant about this movie. Not that I didn't enjoy it, on the contrary I thought it was a great film. It's more that I'm ranting about the audience that I saw it with. It was at some theater in New Jersey, so let's say there was a pretty broad cross-section of "America" represented here. I'd say about 80% of the audience didn't get the movie. When I mean "didn't get the movie", I mean that there were people complaining about the fact that there were subtitles and they wouldn't have gone to see it if they had known, and saying that it was a "complete waste of time" as they were walking out of the theatre.
If you want to see blood and guts, go see Terminator. If you're looking for a lyrical movie with a deeply moving theme (and subtitles), that might actually provoke some thought processes in your head, then go see Hero.
