	Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon by Tan Dun
		Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon first started making waves back at the Cannes Film Festival of 2000, where it was shown as a non-competing film yet garnered more praise than most any other film shown.
		The success of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon should be no surprise as it harkens back to the most classic themes: good versus evil, the heroes (heroines) journey, love, and revenge.
		Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, while quite the spectacle, truly draws its strength from the not-so-obvious elements of the film, among them is Tan Dun’s score.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
		Lee’s new film, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, is being marketed as both a loving homage and a redemption of the alleged excesses of the HK martial arts movie, a questionable approach since excess — in the larger-than-life characters, stylized violence, and dazzling shifts of tone — is a primary lure of these films.
		Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is based on a pre-World War II novel about characters who (in spite of Lee’s protests of originality) will be quite familiar to fans of HK’s golden age films.
		Crouching Tiger hedges its bets by featuring Chow Yun-Fat and Michelle Yeoh, icons of the golden age of HK cinema.

	Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000): Reviews
		Crouching Tiger's blend of the magical, the mythical and the romantic fills a need in us we might not even realize we had.
		Crouching Tiger's dramatic line is so blurry that the central character is only a bystander to the climactic fight between forces of good and evil.
		Whenever Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon resorts to flying fists or soaring sword battles, the Force is definitely with it.

	Zhang Ziyi CSC: Filmography: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
		An epic story of love, honor, duty, and regret, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, set in 1778 China, is told through the intertwined lives of two women struggling against their ultimate fates.
		The highly anticipated prequel to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon — director Ang Lee's worldwide hit wuxia set in Qing Dynasty China, starring Chow Yun-fat, Michelle Yeoh, Zhang Ziyi, Chang Chen, Cheng Pei-pei and Lung Sihung — will likely not be made.
		Based on events that occur approximately 20 years prior to Crouching Tiger (the fourth book), Precious Sword is essentially about the much younger Li Mu Bai, Yu Shu Lien and her fiance and his friend, Meng Si Zhao, mentioned in the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

	CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON
		Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon defines the term “something for everyone,” and, what’s more, it accomplishes this rare feat in a way that will leave you breathless.
		Dragon also features a goofy “be true to yourself” message, and there are probably a couple of times when you may think, “Geez, this is just Mortal Kombat with an international cast and a love story.” There’s probably a very fine line between the two, but Dragon is definitely superior in every aspect.
		Dragon is the first Chinese-language feature that Taiwanese filmmaker Ang Lee (Ride With the Devil) has directed since 1994’s Eat Drink Man Woman.

	Review: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The critically celebrated Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is an epic martial arts film that combines incredible action sequences with elements of romantic melodrama and superhero derring-do.
		Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which is based on an early 20th century novel by Wang Du Lu, unfolds much like a comic book, with the characters and their circumstances being painted using wide brush stokes.
		The hallmark of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is its standout action sequences, of which there are five or six (depending on how you count).

	Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (2000)
		Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is more than just a movie; it's a phenomenon.
		Based on the book by Wang Du-Lu, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is the epic tale of two couples as they come to grips with the realities of living in the martial world.
		As one character remarks, "When it comes to emotions, even great heroes can be idiots." Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon concludes with a beautiful shot of Zhang Ziyi plunging into the great unknown in a gesture that is both an atonement for her sins and, quite possibly, a resurrection.

		Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, directed by Ang Lee (Eat Drink Man Woman, Sense and Sensibility) tells a story about love and honor, power and betrayal, as experienced by its set of mythical characters.
		Crouching Tiger offers imaginative plots and subplots that enhance the film's main storyline and that enrich its characters.
		All in all, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon successfully applies its fantastical elements to develop story, character, and a kind of poetic license that captures the beauty of its own spirit.

	Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
		"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a loving creation by Ang Lee that pays homage on different levels.
		Set in the Forbidden City, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" captures both the look and period feel in its 19th century backdrop.
		The artificial look of the more ambitious fighting F/X detracts from the overall quality of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." This is especially distracting when compared with the more traditional action, which is brilliantly done at times.

	Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)
		Unlike the hideous martial-arts dubbing of old, Crouching Tiger's dub is superb, with careful attention paid to matching the lines of English dialogue with the movements of the characters' mouths.
		Two choice nuggets of info: Apparently Yeoh was so affected by her final scene with Yun-Fat that she cried for hours after shooting wrapped; and Schamus was so embarrassed by writing the lyrics to the film's theme song, "A Love Before Time," that he wouldn't show them to his wife.
		But for those who have, it's a reminder of why Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is considered one of the best films ever made, one you'll watch over and over again.

		The choreography of the action scenes in "Crouching Tiger" was designed by Yuen Wo-Ping, whose credits include "The Matrix," and who understands that form is more important than function.
		In "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," Lee and Wo-Ping give us a scene of startling daring and beauty, when two protagonists cling to the tops of tall, swaying trees and swing back and forth during a sword fight.
		Long rehearsal and training went into their scenes, but what's unusual about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is the depth and poetry of the connecting story, which is not just a clothesline for action scenes, but has a moody, romantic and even spiritual nature.

	Filmtracks: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Tan Dun)
		Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: (Tan Dun) Receiving critical and popular praise from nearly every corner of the globe, director Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is building up a formidable momentum as the season of annual awards draws near.
		There is nothing flashy about Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; even with its tale, Dun's lyrical impressions are repetitious and yet elevated by the diversity of its own instrumentation.
		Overall, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is the type of score that wins Western awards because of the critical success of its film, and even though it might be a strong Oscar contender, the music is likely too engrained in Eastern tradition to be accepted in America.

	Salon.com Arts & Entertainment \| "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"
		Director Ang Lee's brand of restraint isn't always a virtue, and even in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" it sometimes feels as if he's stretching the story's significant moments on principle, rather than letting the movie find a quicker, more natural rhythm.
		But "Crouching Tiger" still manages to stoke a satisfying glow, probably because its pristine lyricism suits the material, a romantic adventure set in ancient China that enfolds themes of thievery, loyalty, duty and unrequited love.
		"Crouching Tiger" is, of course, an arted-up martial arts film, but it grooves more on the tradition of Asian swordplay movies popular in the '50s and '60s than on the kung fu movies that found favor in the '70s.

	Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but Crouching Tiger is a CHINESE movie, and how it is a product of the Japanese culture is beyond me. As a Chinese American graduate student working towards my PhD in East Asian Studies, I believe you are suffering from delusions of Japanese grandeur.
		Crouching Tiger holds ultimately so much more significance to those of obviously Chinese descent as well as other Asian cultural backgrounds.
		This is her hidden message to Lo when she recalls the legend of the young man who jumped off a mountain to realize his wish that his parents be healed and tells Lo to make a wish; only if they were pure of heart will his wish be granted and her dishonor be washed away.

		Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon has no shortage of breathtaking battles, but it also has the dramatic soul of a Greek tragedy and the sweep of an epic romance.
		And though their love for eachother is obvious from on the onset, they can't quite summon the courage to speak of their hidden passion.
		Before I had seen "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" I had never seen any sort of martial arts movie and had only seen one film in a foreign lanugage with the original language spoken and subtitles.
