I was back to the movies to see Hero, the not so new martial arts movie with Jet Li. This movie is for people who like the new style of martial arts movie, with lots of emphasis on the form and respect for the art, mixed in with the fantasy style elements of fighting. It is subtitled which helps you focus more on the film and get into the story. The use of red, blue, white, and green serve as a backdrop to illustrate different versions of the tale that is being told. The views of the Chinese desert and mountains make me want to go to those regions of China and see them for myself. This movie is available on DVD but I recommend seeing it on the big screen.
Dusseldorf - continued
The sun slowly gave way to clouds then rain. This is not a city for walking in the rain. Before it was time to shelter and stay dry, I did one last walk around the area. The business district and surrounding areas are clean and little graffiti or murals. Found this flamingo? near the old city. While the leaves probably congest the waterways, they do look cool floating on the water. Ornate door entrance. Soon after this was taken, the clouds and mist lowered and the top of tower stayed obscured for the rest of my stay. I decided to pass on paying to go to the top when there was no visibility. Back in my hotel room I saw this rainbow emerge right before the rain started pelting down.
