A Spiritual Experience In Color, Sound And Motion.

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2001)

This is a one of the very rare movies that I enjoy seeing mor than once. It is an epic tale in sight, sound and motion. Scenes of rich beauty, elegance and aesthetics, slowly paced, alternate with those of high speed and incredible acrobatics. It's a story of contrasting loves, of morals and virtues, of indecency and greatness. From different perspectives man's age old search for self-fulfilment and freedom is told. There is the Crouching Tiger, the passionate young aristrocat and there is the Hidden Dragon, the wise scholar who has mastered his martial arts to a level of mere intention. Both fail to reach their goals as humans, bound to physical appearances. However, both know that there is a future, created by their love, trust and will.
