Deserves all the oscars!!!

Rating: 10/10 (11 March 2001)

A week ago I went to see Traffic. It was a good movie with compelling stories and unique cinematography..however my friends and I couldn't help but yawn little bit. I rented the gladiator and Erin Brokovich also. I was horrified at the graphic of the violence and typical HERO story..a lot like Braveheart,patriot,benhur.(we really need to move on!)It tries to capture the essense of Benhur but fails to reach the expectation by formulaic plot and computer graphic people.. Erin Brokovich is a feel good movie with catchy dialogue and good acting of Julia Roberts. I enjoyed the movie but why is it in the best picture catagory? I understand how much people want to hand that Oscar to Julia Roberts..but still.. I don't understand. (I won't mention Chocolat)
However when I watched the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (twice)I really got into the magic of the movie. It was so fascinating, beautifully filmed and acted as well. I love it so much, I took my whole family to go see it again and everyone loved it. You don't have to be some critic to enjoy this movie. My friend who usually prefers action movie (who loved the vertical limit) enjoyed this movie as well.
After months, I finally accepted the fact that The Gladiator is going to win...o how I would love to see Ang Lee accepting the award for Best Picture...
well I guess what matters is that people over the world enjoyed the film. Also it open the door for foreign film especially for Asian film making that doesn't feature Jacky Chan..I'm look forward to Ang Lee's (and also Zhang ZiYi)next projects
