CTHD: A Spritiual Journey

Rating: 9/10 (10 July 2004)

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is one of the finest piece of art ,giving us insight into ancient Chinese spirituality;no doubt it is one of the best motion pictures of the century.
Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon symbolically reflect two different forms of energies within a man. The story revolves around the young princess filled with incredible energy and an obsession to lead an adventurous life of a warrior. This energy is manifested in form of lust,violence,rebellion and theft..which is crouching Tiger. Hidden Dragon reflects the energy within which is discovered under guidance of an enlightened master.This reflects to the spiritual freedom one gains after overcoming lust,violence & rebellion. This spiritual freedom is rightly indicated in the end of the movie.
Apart from a great work in terms of direction,cinematography,action Chow Yun Fat and Michelle Yeoh have been exceptional in their respective roles.
