The language of this film is not the words

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 2006)

I cannot easily express the feelings I have for this movie. Watching it in Mandarin with English sub-titles made it even more "transcendental". I have never seen a movie so magical in its overall imagery. Even the Lord of the Rings cannot compare, simply because they used computers to create the magic and you can tell. In this spectacular movie, the Director is so innovative that I can never go back to the newer American-style movies. If you have your doubts, just watch this movie with an open mind. Women have the power. All the men.. are just a sideline and have their limited use to the power of these women. I gladly agree that Women have and need the most power in modern society. In this film though, Michelle Yeoh and Ziyi Zhang are sexy, powerful, inspiring, controlling, dynamic in their interactions and pure magic on the screen.
Ang Lee has created a movie that will be held as a standard, not only for Martial Arts films, but all future romance films from this day forward.
