Watched Hero tonight. Damn good movie. It's definitely a thinking movie. We didn't get the major part until about five minutes after the end of the movie, which is a pretty good sign that something bigger than you'd find in most American movies had gone down. I think Jet Li takes on kind of a jesus role in the movie. A mortar for a different time and different culture, only instead of the son of god, he's just a man looking for revenge and finding truth and enlightenment instead.
Some times I think it might be good to leave for a while. A sojourn to somewhere that might set me on my own path to truth and wisdom. Speak the sacred Ohm and let the universe communicate itself clearly to me. I don't think it'd be wise for me to experience all facets of the self as one should, but a quiet journey of suffrage and humility might do me some good. At least get me away from everything. I guess my last real communion with the universe came when I wasn't even paying attention... just lost in my own thoughts and fears. But it also came when I let go of everything keeping me from being myself, so maybe it's just a matter of letting go again, speaking the Ohm, and freeing myself from the shackles of the self. I sure could use the wisdom of the universe right now. Something tells me that the journey to that wisdom is the important part of being an adult, rather than the actual acquiring of that wisdom. I'm glad not all things are so complicated.

Man, that's deep :).
My husband wants to see Hero pretty bad. I'm trying to talk him into waiting until it's a renter....not really wanting to pay 16 bucks for the two of us to see it.
It's not really a blockbuster movie anyway. The action is good, but it's not big-screen action, it's more of a deep-thought action. The fact that two fights happen entirely in the competitors minds just shows it's a thinking movie rather than an action movie.
