Hero Ying Xiong (2002)

Hero is a Chinese wuxia film, directed by Zhang Yimou. Starring Jet Li as the nameless protagonist, the movie is loosely based on the legendary Jing Ke.

A group of assassins: Flying Snow (Maggie Cheung), Broken Sword (Tony Leung Chiu Wai), and Long Sky (Donnie Yen), have sworn to kill the King of Qin (Chen Daoming), and Nameless (Jet Li) comes to the royal capital to claim the reward offered for their defeat. The movie tells the story of his conversation with the King of Qin, and the flashbacks depicted the journey he took to earn the honour of sitting before the emperor. Zhang Ziyi stars as Broken Sword's servant Moon.

IMDB

The reason why i brings up this movie here is because the production designer in this film has done a great work. He is really play in the 'COLOR'.

He used different colors to construct the atmosphere of each scene, which not only contrast the background but also brings out the character's different emotions.

Green

This green shows a bit sorrow and the two person with may-be-the-same intentions, as well as the envy between them.

ferious red

This Red brings up the madness and angry emotions on the character, as well as his passion.


Black and Red


The black costume Jet li weared was kind of simbolizes the fate of death, and also builds up the solemn atmosphere of sacrifice. The red color decoration on the troops' head has also gives a hint of the folowing bloodness.

White

The white costume shows the solitude and the remembrance of the death of character that Tony lieung playes
