2. Definition of "hero"
- www.rci.rutgers.edu
- Definition of "hero" .
- * SYNONYMS: celebrity, hero, luminary, name, notable, peronage. ...
- **The word hero should no longer be regarded as restricted to men in the sense "a person noted for courageous action," though heroine is always restricted to women. The distinction between hero and heroine is still useful, however, in referring to the principal character of a fictional work, inasmuch as the virtues and qualities that become a traditional literary heroine like Elizabeth Bennet or Isabel Archer are generally quite different from those that become a traditional literary hero like Tom Sawyer or Huckleberry Finn. ...

- Hero (Zhang Yimou, 2002) .
- Obviously this year’s Chinese mega-production of Zhang Yimou’s epic wu xia Hero arrives to a great deal of anticipation. ...
- Set loosely in a historical context in pre-unified China, Hero takes a folkloric approach in telling its tale of political espionage and cultural homogenization. ...
- Aesthetic thrills seem more significant than narrative ones in Hero, and there’s little denying that the picture, which is home to the finest production values ever seen in a Chinese-language movie, is a compositional masterpiece. ... Thanks to the fine cinematography, art direction, and costuming, Hero is the best-looking film from any country since Wong Kar-Wai’s In the Mood For Love, which was incidentally shot by Doyle along with the phenomenal Mark Lee Ping-bin. ...
- It’s almost impossible not to notice that Hero’s plot has been cobbled together so that each of its four lead characters have an opportunity to square off against one another in one-on-one armed combat. ... If the artier fight scenes in Hero are sometimes briefly less than thrilling, they’re never for a moment less than visually ravishing. ... Still, it seems almost ridiculous to complain that images as glorious as the ones in Hero linger as long as they do. ...
- One could also gripe that the almost humorless Hero doesn’t quite take us along on the ride that Ang Lee’s film did in its fight scenes. ... The overall presentation of Hero is so tastefully restrained that a tiny rivulet of blood is all that ever flows after a fighter is mortally wounded. ...
- Certainly, the top-notch cast doesn’t hurt when keeping Hero’s emotions honest, though. ... If Hero can’t quite attain the emotional heft of CTHD or Wong Kar-Wai’s Ashes of Time, or allow for a monologue as remarkable as Maggie Cheung’s was in the latter film, it’s far from a shallow effort on dramatic grounds. When the floodgates open in the final moments of the film, and Zhang’s self-control gives way to a sobering admission of reality, Hero achieves an undeniably poignant wallop. ...
- Like most mega-productions, Hero feels somewhat streamlined and to an American viewer, it doesn’t exactly seem to take mammoth creative risks (though a $30 million foreign film made with American audiences in mind seems to be one in itself). ... It’s almost impossible ascertain who the titular “hero” is meant to be, since no character’s stance comes without serious ethical compromises. ... For those who were unimpressed by Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, it’s doubtful that Hero will be able to convert them into advocates of to this type of film. For those who were caught up in Lee’s level of artistry and sophistication, however, a similar achievement awaits in Zhang Yimou’s Hero.

10. Big Eyes, Small Mouth To Hero System
- www.devermore.net
- BIG EYES, SMALL MOUTH TO HERO SYSTEM.
- BESM has now become a generic gaming engine, much like HERO System or GURPS. ...
- The following is a rough guide to converting from Big Eyes, Small Mouth to HERO System. Note that due to the nature of BESM, character abilities are somewhat more abstracted than in a system such as HERO or GURPS, so derived results are not absolutes, and are subjective to the wishes and desires of the person doing the translation. These conversion notes are based on BESM Second Edition, and the author recommends that anyone doing any BESM to HERO conversions have a copy of BESM Second Edition handy.
- Divide by 4 and one gets a HERO BODY score of 10. ...
- This means that a character gets 3 actions per 12 seconds (one HERO System Turn), meaning that all BESM characters have a base SPD of 3. ... This comes out to 105 attacks per minute (7 x 15) which is somewhat beyond the Hero maximum of 60 (12 SPD x 5 12 second Turns). ...
- Note that in many cases the Extra Attacks being used in BESM might be lumped into one attack in HERO (via Autofire or some such mechanic).
- A SPD 3 Hero character runs 72 meters. This means that basically, we can figure a character's running as BODY x 5 /2 to get HERO inches of Running. ...
- This is about 45" per HERO Turn. ...
- Note that based on this conversion, one may not want to alter a BESM character's Running from the HERO System default of 6", unless they have the Speed Attribute.
- In Hero, a baseline normal can swim at 8 meters per Turn (2" x 2 Noncombat x 2 Phases), and a three SPD character can swim at 12 meters. ...
- This can help determine over all Flight speed and Noncombat multiples when translating to Hero.
- A rough conversion of BESM damage to HERO System is as follows:.
11. Super System Switching: Converting Hero to GURPS
- www.sjgames.com
- Converting The Hero System to GURPS .
- In fact, with the release of Champions, Fourth Edition, you can translate any Hero System game (Star Hero, Justice, Inc. ...
- Whittling down the Hero System's 14 characteristics into GURPS' four basic attributes means ignoring most of them. ...
- Translate as follows: A Hero System STR of -40 to 5 gives a GURPS ST of 8 + (Hero System STR/5).
- A Hero System STR of 6 to 12 is the same in GURPS.
- A Hero System STR of 13 to 30 gives a GURPS ST of 5 + (Hero System STR/2).
- A Hero System STR of 31 or more gives a GURPS ST of Hero System STR-10, plus the Enhanced Strength Advantage. ... GURPS IQ = 8 + (Hero System INT/5).
- GURPS DX =9 + (Hero System DEX/5).
- GURPS HT = 8 + (Hero System CON/S).
- Figure normally, as for GURPS; don't use Hero System SPD. ...
- No character may have fewer GURPS Hits than he has Hero System BODY. In case of a discrepancy, buy the character extra GURPS Hits in order to equal the character's original Hero BODY. ...
- Note: These calculations assume that your Hero System campaign involves superheroes, since this seems most likely. ... So a Hero System secret agent with INT 25 would have a GURPS IQ of 16 (8 + 25/3), not IQ 13 (8 + 25/5). ...
- GURPS Advantages correspond to Hero System Talents and Perks. Many are very easy to translate, because they have the same or similar names in both systems (Example: Hero Absolute Time Sense is GURPS Absolute Timing; Hero Bump of Direction is GURPS Absolute Direction). ...
12. Review: Hero (2002)
- movie-reviews.colossus.net
- Hero (2002).
- Hero represents Chinese director Zhang Yimou's first foray into the martial arts/action genre. ... In fact, Hero actually has more in common with the work of Japanese master director Akira Kurosawa than with Crouching Tiger. ... Hero is an exemplary example of visual poetry. ...
- Hero is not as mainstream as Crouching Tiger (if the earlier movie could have been considered "mainstream") - it has a languid pace, and, even though there are plenty of martial arts confrontations, it doesn't feel like there's a lot of action. ...
- Hero takes place in feudal China, before the warring kingdoms were united into a single country. ...
- Hero's long-delayed release into the North American market is primarily the fault of Miramax Films, who bought the rights, then decided to bury the movie. Hero may never have seen the light of day had Quentin Tarantino not come forward to champion its release. ...
- Those whose cinematic preference is for a more traditional form of movie-making (a group in which my left brain-dominated thinking makes me a member) may find that parts of Hero stretch credulity to the breaking point. ... Hero is about motion, images, and colors. ... Hero is visually deep, but emotionally shallow. ...
- Hero's theme of self-sacrifice being necessary to serve the greater good isn't revolutionary, but it is presented with enough force that we don't dismiss it lightly. ... (After all, wasn't that one of the cornerstones of The Passion of the Christ?) But few who see Hero will be there for its thematic content. ...
