Unreal

Rating: Null/10 (18 February 2001)

My wife is not a fan of sub-titled movies nor does she care for films with martial arts. She adored "Crouching...!" Once you get over the Superman-like flight sequences, you realize the wonderment of spiritualism and romance that carries this magnificent film.
Someone described the film as Mulan meets King Arthur, this has great validity. This film is a treat for everyone not just your typical art house audience. There is a feeling of grace, devotion and love that effects every audience member. Matrix had some incredible visuals and good action but nowhere near the emotion that comes with "Crouching...." "Crouching..." achieves a wonderful balance that makes for great story telling and filmmaking.
Thank G-d for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Billy Elliot. Two huge achievements for the year.
