One of a kind!

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2002)

I have seen perhaps every kung fu movie out there and they are all silly. Don't get me wrong I like them for what they are, but from an objectional point of view they are all silly.
Crouching Tiger isn't necessarily a Kung Fu movie. It simply is a great movie with kung fu in it. You know...like Road House?! Ha ha. J/K
I thought the idea of being able to fly =ing your emotions or control of your emotions or the purity of your soul was a great idea. Chow Yung was a master of his sprituality and was able to fly to heaven in the end. The girl Ziu Zang wasn't necessarily Evil (or NE for you D&D peeps), she was simply free-spirited. As for Jade, she couldn't fly so on and so on.
The only part I hated and could have been done better was when Jade fired off all those darts and he sliced them all up. It reminded me of the part in Robin Hood: Men in Tights, when the guy with the dagger diced up the arrows and I started laughing to myself.
I thought this movie should have gotten Best Film and Ridley Scott getting Best Director at the Oscers. Because in 25 years this movie will still be remembered whereas Gladiator will become just another movie. Also since CROUCHING TIGER was the most talked about, NOT Gladiator.
10/10
Peace out.
