THE REAL MEANING OF CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON?

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2001)

A friend of mine commented after watching this movie: "we didn't see any tigers and dragons because they're all hidden, we expected to see some tigers and dragons in the movie..." I only can sign. What can I say? Typical most of my American folks who don't quite understand the title of this movie.
Do you remember the movie played by Glen Ford and Broderick Crawford in which Ford played an undefeatable gunslinger? He killed too many bad guys and he's getting tired of it. So he burried the gun and swore never touched it again. Ford became a hidden dragon. In the epic story, Ly Mu Bai was tired of killing so he washed his hands, given away the sword. He became a crouching tiger and a hidden dragon.
Do you get it now?
