Hollywood can't make movies like this

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2001)

I can't say much more about this. I don't really know chinese movies, but it looked interesting so I watched it. The original version, with english subtitles. And I was carried away in a different world. No matter how great I thought, some Hollywood-Movies can be - I learned that even if they try their hardest to tell a story, they fail. I never realized that, until I saw what real storytelling is about, in that movie. When I get out of an American movie I always talk about certain scenes to friends, wondering how they shot this, how they did that. After watching Crouching Tiger... it felt totally wrong to just talk like that. I didn't want to ruin the experience by talking about technical stuff and I still can't. Anyway... watch the movie, enjoy it, and find out, why Matrix (which I always thougt of as a GREAT movie) is just attempting to show martial arts, and Pretty Woman just pretends to tell a love-story.
