Blends all the essential elements of film!

Rating: 10/10 (1 February 2001)

CTHD is the epitome of what a film should be: captivating visuals, poetic dialogue, and a poignant score. This film is a fusion of art, literature, and music; Ang Lee wonderfully weaves all of these elements in his cinematic masterpiece. Balletic fight scenes as well as the colloquy of the movie etch themselves into the viewer's memory, leaving a lasting impression of the film. A great movie transposes the audience into another time and place; CTHD does just that.
