Reflections on the different readings of the filmic text are discussed with the focus on martial arts film genre and its political implications. A transnational perspective assists in revealing Hero’s real ambition, at the same time, it replaces the binary approaches, including western/eastern, observer/observed and dominance/sub-ordinance, to help appreciate some globalized films. en_US Wake Forest University Hero, West and East Research Subject Categories Hero in West and East Thesis Release the entire work for access only to the Wake Forest University system for one year from the date below.
