A stunningly beautiful film--A perfect first movie for your new giant flat screen TV.

Rating: 10/10 (9 May 2006)

I am surprised this film is not more well known considering how stunningly beautiful its cinematography is. 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon' does not deserve to get more credit than this film. The landscapes are breathtaking and the scenes with autumn leaves stirring up, billowing curtains, thousands of synchronized soldiers, hair and costumes flowing and whirling are utterly amazing. The whole "Quentin Tarantino presents..." aspect to this film may turn some viewers away or give the wrong impression, but this movie really is a true work of art if you look at it in terms of a composition overall. How often do you have the pleasure of watching a movie and actually find yourself saying "wow!" or "whoa!" out loud?! We recently went from a 19" crappy old TV set to a 40" flat LCD screen Sony and this movie knocked me out. Treat yourself to this asap.
