Unbelievable.....

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2001)

I've been reading through at least three pages of comments for this movie and all that ones that I read that were negative all mentioned the same thing. It was "corny" because the characters flew over rooftops and through trees. Or it was "unoriginal" because it was about Michelle Yeoh and Ziyi Zhang's characters because so many American movies have strong women as central characters. Hey, guess what? This ISN'T an American movie. Michelle Yeoh and Ziyi Zhang's characters aren't two airheads running around like chickens without heads. You can't compare this movie with any other movie that's been made. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is so original, it apparently hurts some people to admit to it. I found this movie to be the best movie I had seen all year, and I saw a lot of movies this year. Everything about this movie was wonderful, and its a shame some people can't see past the visual representation of the character's strengths. They don't fly because they're related to Peter Pan...Their ability to fly is a representation of their power as warriors. But as I've said before, there's just some people who don't get it, and its a shame too. This movie is just beautiful and I would recommend it to everyone. (In fact, I have!)
