. . .and my question to them is, did you even see the film? this was a fantastic film, that told a story of repression and longing, a sad film about societal pressures preventing love from coming to fruition. it had wonderful cinematography, nuanced acting, and confident direction by ang lee, who, for those posters who didn't know better, has directed many, many excellent films (of which the hulk was a notable exception).
there's no way this film merits a 1/10--you are equating this film with the worst movies of all time, which is frankly, a complete falsehood. this film is easily one of the finest films of 2005, and will certainly be recognised as such by numerous professional film critics and organisations.
