A work of art by Ang Lee

Rating: Null/10 (17 October 2019)

If you like visually stunning movies Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is one of the finest I have ever seen. This stunning film, directed by the esteemed Ang Lee is a work of art. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which is based on an early 20th century novel by Wang Du Lu, unfolds much like a comic book, with the characters and their circumstances being painted using wide brush stokes. Subtlety is not part of Lee's palette; he is going for something grand and melodramatic, and that's what he gets. The hallmark of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is its standout action sequences, of which there are five or six (depending on how you count). All of them are eye-popping and spectacularly choreographed (by Yuen Wo-Ping, who worked on The Matrix - a connection that is immediately identifiable) with special effects being used to enhance the natural athleticism of the participants. Must watch
