Wonderful!!!

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2001)

This is a kind of movie I wish I could see every time I go to a movie. A movie that you love and you don't have to find reasons why. You devote yourself completely to the movie and when it ends you simply want more of it.
The basis for the film is a love story(actually 2 love stories),which run simultaneously in the film,but the way the story is been told, is simply superb. Ang Lee takes his time and tells the story slowly. He pulls us in to the story and make us care for every thing that happens in the film. In his way from A to B he is not afraid to show long scenes that serve the movie well, or some fight scenes which defies the laws of gravity and yet remain true to the nature of the film.
The film is beautifully shot and well acted,and it's a shame that none of the actors involved has got any Oscar nomination.Let's hope the Academy will give this film the recognition it deserve.The film is a rare thing.It leaves you breathless and the word wonderful (repeated more than once) is a word that describe it well and yet not enough to explain why. To understand, you must see this film.
