Movie Description
Known for making films about familial relationships, director Ang Lee surprised everyone with his martial arts epic CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON. Based on a novel by Wang Du Lu, CROUCHING TIGER starts with the revenge plot common in the wuxia stories that Lee loved as a child, then adds a feminist twist. Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun Fat) is a legendary martial artist who has decided to pass on his sword, the Green Destiny, to a friend. Soon afterward, the sword is stolen by a masked female, setting in motion events that test the bonds of family, love, duty, and sisterhood. Chow appears with three generations of female stars: Cheng Pei Pei, a 1960s action heroine; Michelle Yeoh, the beauty queen turned 1980s action goddess; and newcomer Zhang Ziyi, who smolders as the princess who wants more than domestic tranquillity. Famed action choreographer Yuen Woo-Ping (THE MATRIX) stages jaw-dropping zero-G fights across rooftops, rivers, and bamboo trees, while Yo-Yo Ma punctuates the fisticuffs with dramatic cello solos. Described by Lee as "SENSE AND SENSIBILITY with martial arts," CROUCHING TIGER recalls the best wuxia films of the 1960s and pushes the genre in new directions.

Editorial Reviews
"...The picture is more fun than it has a right to be....Mr. Lee puts things together artfully and stages this movie like a comedy of manners; it could be SENSE AND SENSIBILITY with a body count....It's an epic that breaks the laws of gravity."
New York Times - Elvis Mitchell (04/30/2009)

"...This Cannes/New York Film Festival favorite has it all, starting with three towering central characters....[Ang Lee's film] offers melodically choreographed action scenes by THE MATRIX's Yuen Wo-Ping, Oscar-caliber photography by Peter Pau and the pleasure of seeing [Chow Yun Fat] in his most appealing performance yet..." -- 4 out of 4 stars

    Wang Du Lu wrote the novel upon which "Crouching Tiger..." is based. The story goes like this:

    Two martial arts warrior masters, Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun Fat) & a beauty queen, who becomes an action goddess of the 1980's (Michelle Yeoh) must face their greatest challenge when the precious "Green Destiny" sword is stolen. As young aristocrat, Zhang Ziyi, prepares for an arranged marriage, she reveals by becoming a talented fighted, that she desires much more than a domestic lifestyle. This film earns its Oscar for Best Picture~ch warrior fights for justice. They include 3 generations of Chinese female stars. This film is set in the 19th century, in China. The panoramic cinematography of the landscape is absolutely breathtaking. From the acclaimed direction of Ang Lee to the amazing action-oriented choreography of Yuen Woo-Ping, one of the most awe inspiring action staged films is created. Believe me, this film doesn't depend upon the Chinese landscape on the ground! The action takes flight in more ways than merely martial arts choreography. The passion in the film is nearly its equal~
