I have a keen yet objective interest in all things technological, movies, books and the arts. My friends all value my opinions in these areas so I figure why shouldn't I spread them further afield.

This movie is utterly breathtaking! A sumptuous visual feast that feeds your soul as well as your eyes. Ang Lee skilfully weaves the best elements of traditional Chinese cinema with a Hollywood-like budget and serves up what will surely become the most successful foreign language film of all time (mark my words!).
What a joy too in finding a film that gives women such strong, defined and central roles. Look out Hollywood - this film is out to show you that the era of the male dominated action role is looking decidedly worn around the edges.
Beautiful settings, lavish costumes, vivid colours, spectacular action scenes and powerful on-screen relationships all combine to transcend this movie above it's contemporaries.
If you're after some good old-fashioned storytelling that will have you shedding the odd tear, both though laughter and sorrow, then you can't go wrong with this film.
One thing though, when you sit down to watch it, make sure you're comfy - you won't be going anywhere for the duration of it!
