From
the onset of this movie you know you're going to see a
martial arts film with a twist. Director Ang Lee approaches
the genre from a fresh angle - one that includes strong
female characters that are central to plot progression,
main characters with supernatural abilities and a luscious
film treatment. But, don't fret because Lee has not done
away with what makes a martial arts film fun. You will
still enjoy the stylized fighting, variety of weapons
and herioc deeds you have come to expect.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is best enjoyed if you
look at it as you would a fairytale. A friend complained
that the movie reminded him of Star Wars. My take is more
Arthurian legend. However you choose to submerge yourself
in this movie is up to you. The tasty cinematography and
graceful fight sequences make it a delight. |
