Fantastical Story with Something Pertinent to say

Rating: 10/10 (6 March 2001)

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a wonderful combination of fantasy and philosophy. The beautiful setting and other-wordly feel of the story gives audience members a way to step outside themselves and apply some new ideas to everyday life. The actors have pulled off intricately choreographed fight scenes and built dynamic relationships, both in romance and friendship. The dialogue is well written, but best of all, the action and intrigue of the story isn't a roadblock to movement. Instead, each scene moves the story forward toward an ending that is certain to leave you wondering about what has happened and perhaps even what you would do in that situation. I believe this is a must see film!
