...adventures in space have been a hymn of national purpose for a half-century, the many high notes of success tinged with somber tones of failure. But always the strains of tragedy have driven us to harder, more precise exertions. When the grief of Columbia's explosion passes, we will be closer together and still climbing "the wall of space" that John F. Kennedy described 40 years ago when he sent us to the moon...

Zhang concedes that the movie lacks the intellectual and emotional heft of his earlier works: "Hero is a genre piece. Its message is very simple, but it breaks ground visually.
