Great movie, US ignorance an Issue ?

Rating: Null/10 (28 March 2001)

One of the best movies I have seen for a long while. I frequently complain after leaving movies that they were just the typical american crap that is turned out by the truck load. CTHD was refreshing. I have seen a few chinese (cantonese) films but none in the Romantic/Hostoric genre in which CTHD was set and the fact that it was in Mandarin made it all the better (as I enjoy the tonal nature of Mandarin).
I find it odd that people complain about the sub-titles and the fact that it was in another language. There are only approx 500 Million (or less) people in the world whose first language is english so unless you live in Fortress USA and shut the rest of the world out you are inevitably going to be confronted with another language. Embrace the difference and enjoy CTHD for the sublime journey and cultural education that it is.
