Slightly tentatively although with good reason, I decided to buy the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon DVD on the back of several excellent reviews, various Oscars and an excellent offer in the local video shop. With my only previous knowledge being an absurdly drunken affair culminating in the video of ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Penis’ I was right to be somewhat apprehensive this time round. However I’m glad to say now with abject derision that Ang Lee’s masterpiece is clearly nothing to do with crouching nakedness...

...Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is a wonderful mix of a classis chinese fairy tale and classic kung fu action.
Whereas most Kung fu films don't make it to the big screen outside of Hong Kong, it was easy to see Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was something special.
For a start it is a very beautiful film, rarely do films present this nice a look and feel, and thats big budget Hollywood films. The genre that this film comes from is notoroius for drab, cheap backgrounds, poor acting, and little to no plot.

The film is directed by Ang Lee and co-written by James Schamus and is a truly epic film of great proportions. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was so good and on so many levels as it serves as an historical epic, an martial-arts flick, a tale with fantastic fight scenes(choreographed by Yuen Wo Ping of Matrix fame),a story of magic and a story of revenge
Set during the Qing dynasty, 19th century, the film follows the warriors Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun-Fat) and Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh. These two love each other but keep their feelings to themselves and in turn deny their love.
However...
