I'm fed up with those unconstructive negative comments!

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2001)

I used to love this site, thought it's place to meet people who share passion for the movies. But after reading so many negative comments about Crouching Tiger, Hidden dragon. I started to lose my respect for this site and the kind of people who are using it. There are just too many hateful and ignorant people around. There are countless bigotry and attacks on the Asian cultures (comments like "it's just another low class Asian movies", ".. the ridiculous flying sequence.." or "..the Governess' daughter's (who cares what her name was) ") and personal attacks (such as "shame on Ang Lee" , ".. Siskel and Ebert must have been asleep with the rest of the crowd when they rated this one...Shame on you!..").
Blame it on Siskel? I believe he past away before this movie came out.
It's a foreign film, of course it has sub-titles. No one sticks a big gun at your head to rent it or watch it. So don't whine about the "distracting" sub-titles or waste our time to read your complaint about it just because you don't know enough Chinese or can't afford a DVD player (DVD came with English).
Many people complained about having a hard time to stay awake through the movie?! As if that's a proof of a bad movie. Well, those very same people probably will also fall asleep on Bach, Beethoven, or Mozart. Or do they even know what Bach, Beethoven, or Mozart are? By the way, Beethoven is not the movie about a big, dumb dog.
Finally, those people kept comparing this movie to Bruce Lee or Jackie Chen are simply idiots. Same with those people found the "flying" sequence "ridiculous", it only tells me that you have no appreciation for the Asian (or perhaps any other) cultures. Why did you even bother to watch the movie in the first place then waste our time to read your ignorant comments?
