The Greatest Film of All Time

Rating: 10/10 (16 February 2003)

From the picture perfect opening shot to the tragically poetic
ending, Crouching Tiger reeks of style. It oozes style. Each frame
is just like the pictures of a storybook. The first time I actually saw
this film in theatres, I thought it was a decent film. The second
time, it made my top ten, and from there on out, I've grown to place
Crouching Tiger in my #1 slot!
I think many might automatically discount CTHD because it is a
foreign film, has subtitles, and people fly. First of all, your mother
should have taught you how to read quickly and efficiently!
Broaden your horizons! This is a martial arts fantasy film. The
flying is parallel to the inner strength of the characters. Really
amazing when you start to wonder....
The fight scenes in this movie may never be matched!!! The final
confrontation between Shu Lien and Jen Yu in the dojo is
something that I'll never forget. The only fight scenes that come
close are the fight scene in the courtyard (Also CTHD) and Ripley's
powerloader fight against the Queen Alien (Aliens, 1986).
Acting, Cinematography, Fight Scenes, Story, Everything,
PERFECT.
There's really nothing else to say about such an amazing film.
Run to your local DVD retailer and buy!!
