Masterpiece of movie-making

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2002)

I don't know if this movie was originated as a myth or a fairy tale, or is an original screenplay, but it doesn't matter. Its a gorgeous movie which is never boring and has the feel of an epic love story. With that comes the struggle to be open to love, so anyone can identify with the insecurities and doubts that the movie shows you. The battle scenes are like a dream where you are flying, just beautiful, mind-bendingly so.

Michelle Yeoh is a great actress. You can read her very easily. The great Chow Yun Fat is just as good but Yeoh owns the movie and is its heart and soul.
Ang Lee seems to own every genre he works in. I can't think of many directors that have such an impressively diverse list of credits that include 'The Ice Storm', 'Sense and Sensibility' and this masterpiece. May 'The Hulk' be great also!
10/10, easy.
