I was wrong...again.

4.254.138.181

Saw Crouching Tiger for the second time, well, actually for the first. In the theater, I walked out when the youngsters got to the cave.
This time, at home on DVD, I not only got through it, I thought it was damn close to a masterpiece. Brilliant story, cinematography, acting, and...heart.
My only quibble is that in this film, like many Asian films, the martial arts scenes get repetitive. Some tighter editing would make me ecstatic.
Most any modern actor could learn from the master, Mr. Fat, how to express an entire emotion without stirring a muscle...by a mere "look" in his eyes.
His mature love interest was his match in skill, too.
The female apprentice is unmatched in the West for beauty and talent. What a magnificent ensemble piece.
Surprise of surprises, for I am not an Ang Lee fan, at all.
I will watch it again.
What a shocking turnaround. Anyone else have such changes of heart over a film?
