Lee repeatedly uses very tight close-ups to force us to read into the characters' faces, and Zhang Ziyi in particular is very adept at making even the slightest smile or tiniest flicker of her eyes seem deeply meaningful. 6. I would like another sequel to follow this one, exploring characters and focusing on the strengths of the first film. Of note, it was helmed by Ang Lee, the Oscar-winning visionary director who would go on to get behind the camera for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Brokeback Mountain, and Life of Pi. Incredibly well-crafted, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a compelling film about love, duty, and sacrifice. A prequel with all new actors (or even the same) or an entirely different take on this "Iron Way" would have at least allowed the filmmakers to stand apart from the first instead of cowering under its immense shadow. $3.99 shipping. | Rating: 4/5 We're so used to the American approach to storytelling and characterisation, with Hollywood-style films being made all over the world, that the second someone comes along with a slightly different approach, we assume that it must have some greater value. 2.

But the beauty is still there. All rights reserved. Lee's spin on the Hong Kong action film is a subversive, delicately stated coming-of-age story. and to receive email from Rotten Tomatoes and Fandango. The sequel is directed by Yuen Woo-Ping, who choreographed the fight scenes in the original... he's not as prestigious as Lee, and has fewer awards, but the man knows his kung fu. Crouching Tiger benefits in this regard by the presence of Yuen Woo-Ping, the same man who choreographed The Matrix trilogy and later lent his talents to Kill Bill. |, September 16, 2020 Coming Soon. | Rating: 4/4, April 25, 2003 They won't be able to see your review if you only submit your rating.
