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. www.brightlightsfilm.com /31/crouchingtiger.html   (881 words)

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. Whenever Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon resorts to flying fists or soaring sword battles, the Force is definitely with it. 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. www.metacritic.com /film/titles/crouchingtigerhiddendragon   (1222 words)

Wo hu cang long (2000) Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is, quite simply, a stunning film and a real breath of fresh air in a genre that was previously somewhat stagnant. While we as the Kung-fu loving public have grown used to storylines generally involving the hero's lost mother/brother/pet goldfish, Crouching Tiger... Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is one of the best films I have ever seen and I would recommend anyone, whether or not they are interested in Kung-fu movies. www.imdb.com /title/tt0190332   (781 words)

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. csc.ziyi.org /filmography/cthd   (588 words)

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. www.filmtracks.com /titles/crouching_tiger.html   (828 words)

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. www.tracksounds.com /reviews/crouching.htm   (673 words)

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Xbox) Reviews. Xbox Games Reviews by CNET. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is generally geared toward the ilk of beat-'em-up games that focus heavily on combat and lightly on plot. As mentioned before, Crouching Tiger is, at its core, a beat-'em-up style of game where you'll be punching, kicking, and swordfighting your way through a bevy of enemies who all gang up on you at once. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon omits much of the drama and plot from the movie, focusing largely on the most action-packed sections, with occasional CG cutscenes re-created from the movie just to keep the story going. reviews.cnet.com /xbox-games/crouching-tiger-hidden-dragon/4505-9582_7-30960485.html   (1935 words)

GamingWorld X - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Preview Unfortunately, so far Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is looking quiet unimpressive on a few crucial fronts, that will most definitely need to be addressed by the time the game comes out if Ubi Soft wishes to do the movie’s license any justice. Ubi Soft has only shown Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in its early development stages, but even at this point, there should be a lot more evidence of a real effort being put into the game’s environments and mechanics. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is not the hottest looker, either. www.gamingworldx.com /gcn/CrouchingTigerHiddenDragon.shtml   (541 words)

DVD Review - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon   (Site not responding. Last check: ) With that in mind, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is certainly an eagerly anticipated DVD release and I was eager to check it out when the disc finally arrived for review. Although "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a rather formulaic in its premise, characters and the storyline itself, its delivery is not. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a great film, although it is somewhat overrated to the extent that many people think it is entirely novel or original. www.dvdreview.com /fullreviews/crouching_tiger__hidden_dragon.shtml   (1576 words)

Nerve.com - Views & Reviews: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon by Elizabeth Wurtzel Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, director Ang Lee's return to movies in Mandarin, is set in the mystical psychedelia of the ancient Orient. While there is much allusion in Crouching Tiger to the trap of marriage — the bitch-goddess Jen, forcibly betrothed to some nerdy nobleman, envies the freedom of subdued single girl Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh) —; the truth is that high-born Chinese girls had bigger problems, since most of them grew up with bound feet. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon might be a splendid new kind of kung-fu movie, but it is, in the end, still a kung-fu movie. www.nerve.com /regulars/viewsreviews/crouchingtiger   (1288 words)

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - Rotten Tomatoes Beautiful and elegant; marvelously shot and directed; touching, humorous, and thrilling, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is the movie of the year. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a magical dream of a martial arts epic. Calling Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon a religious experience may be overstating the case a bit, but Ang Lee's rhapsodically romantic martial arts enthraller certainly redeems a slew of sins in this lackluster movie year. www.rottentomatoes.com /m/crouching_tiger_hidden_dragon   (827 words)

Crouching tiger, hidden donkey - Breaking News - World - Breaking News The cat is out of the bag at a restaurant in north east China that had been serving donkey meat spiked with tiger urine in pricey dishes advertised as endangered Siberian tiger. The restaurant was shut down and fined and the director of the nearby Hengdaohezi Siberian Tiger Park, China's largest centre for breeding the highly endangered animals, reassured the public there was no way meat from its big cats had made its way to the dinner table, the newspaper said. Only a few hundred Siberian tigers are believed to be alive in the wild in their native habitats of northern China, southern Russia and parts of North Korea. www.smh.com.au /news/World/Crouching-tiger-hidden-donkey/2005/09/08/1125772625884.html   (270 words)

Film Frat -- The Clique for Flicks Much more important to Crouching Tiger's success, though, is the fact that the film has an astonishing visual look that's unlike anything you've seen before. As I was walking out of the theater after seeing Crouching Tiger, a group of four or five young kids were raving about how "cool" the movie was and how much they loved it. While Crouching Tiger can stand on its own merits, I'm a huge fan of any subtitled film that encourages millions of young (and old) viewers to expand their moviegoing palettes. www.collegestories.com /filmfrat/crouching_tiger_hidden_dragon.html   (644 words)

Salon.com Arts & Entertainment | "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" There's so much dreamy beauty in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" that it's almost like a narcotic: By the end, you're likely to have forgotten, or at least forgiven, the long, dragging patches between its gorgeously executed action sequences. 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. www.salon.com /ent/movies/review/2000/12/08/crouching_tiger/index.html   (973 words)

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Cinephiles Movie Review 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. www.cinephiles.net /Crouching_Tiger_Hidden_Dragon/Film-Synopsis.html   (475 words)

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (2000) 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. Mu-Bai and Shu-Lien say that they don't act on their impulses as a tribute to the memory of a departed friend, but the truth is that the two are just too scared to make good on their feelings. 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. www.lovehkfilm.com /reviews/crouching_tiger_hidden_dragon.htm   (868 words)

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon: Movie Review Although Crouching Tiger falls short of such (probably unattainable) perfection, it is enormously fun, and manages to be one of the more interesting films of recent years. Crouching Tiger, his first collaboration with Ang Lee, rightly leans more toward the lyricism of Yuen's work with Jet Li than the clever, often comic spontaneity of his Jackie Chan films. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is a subtitled arthouse period melodrama that has the wine-and-cheese crowd cheering on kung fu fighters and a martial arts epic that inspires action junkies to amateur psychology. www.culturekiosque.com /nouveau/cinema/rhetiger.html   (1624 words)

THE ICE STORM & CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON - DVDs In effect, The Ice Storm is to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon what George Lucas' American Graffiti is to his follow-up trick, Star Wars: equally spellbinding even with less classical ambitions. Likewise, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is ushered along by cultural and genre fluency, enabling Lee to get away with his slow-burn pace in the interim of Yuen Wo Ping-choreographed fisticuffs. Lee has brought his methodical, multinational sensibility to the wu xia (loosely, "martial chivalry"): Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a wire fu epic of broad appeal that encompasses women (ditch the pop songstresses and seek your girl empowerment from this movie), Brother Chow fans, romance readers, and many others. www.filmfreakcentral.net /dvdreviews/crouchingtigericestorm.htm   (1105 words)

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000): Chow Yun Fat, Michelle Yeoh, Zhang Ziyi, Chang Chen - PopMatters Film Review Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is the latest in the KFC line, but raises the stakes considerably. Crouching Tiger is largely a movie about self-awareness and self-determination, as most of its characters struggle to realize lifelong desires. Even if Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a slightly (but significantly) flawed masterpiece, I can't help but wish for its success, and not just because it takes me back to my KFC childhood or because its best scenes are so intensely pleasurable to watch. www.popmatters.com /film/reviews/c/crouching-tiger.shtml   (1717 words)

Review: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 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). www.reelviews.net /movies/c/crouching.html   (986 words)
