Most wonderful movie I have ever seen.

Rating: 10/10 (22 August 2001)

This is maybe my favourite movie
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a remarkable movie. The movie, which is directed by Ang Lee, certainly qualifies as an "art movie" but it is also very entertaining.The film has become widely known for its impressive martial arts sequences,but the underlying love story is equally powerful. The movie has some of exceptional special effects, that you have never seen before. The photography and choreography are also exceptional and the music is amazing, it really matches the atmosphere,scenes and feelings between the different characters.
The plot concerns around the fateful decision of Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun Fat) to retire his trusted warrior's weapon, the Green Destiny, a sword that has proven to be both a blessing and a curse. But one day the Green Destiny is stolen and they begin to discover that the sword may be in the hands of Jade Fox, the notorious warrior who killed Li Mu Bai's master. And then they start the pursuit of her and whats soon to be discovered as her student.
You must remember that this movie is nothing like Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme's movies. Here, martial arts are used to underscore the emotions of the story. Whenever the characters are filled with anger, love, hate, jealousy or joy you can expect to see those emotions displayed artfully through combat.There is a great deal of fighting, but little blood or gore. I guarantee that the fighting scenes in this movie is the most spectacular you have ever seen.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is one of the most wonderful movies I have seen, and the movie takes place in a decade in chinese history that is very facinating and beautiful. You are also going to notice that this movie has some strong feminine characters,such as Michelle Yeoh and ZiYi Zhang, and they delivers maybe the greatest performances of the year.
Go see this one,you wont regret it.
I give it a 10 out of 10.
