I must tell you that this is one of the best martial arts movies ever made. The action scenes, choreographed by Yuen Wo Ping were astounding. Not only he uses a lot of wires indoors but he also stages the fights on open ground like a lake or treetops! They reminded me of The Bride of White Hair not only for the action but also because its story is a moving one. It's a love story between the Chow-Yun Fat and Michelle Yeoh character and a story about honor and friendship. I think that Ang Lee has successfully blended the chinese art-house genre (like Zhang Yimou) with the HK martial arts.
