After you heard of the oscar wins...did it make you wanna see the film any more?

Has anyone apart from me and Zed seen the film?

I did see the movie and did think it was very good, but the only issue I raised against it was that similar to Romeo must die the fact that the combat was no way possible mae at least some sense in the Matrix setting on the grounds that it was all meant to be fake. None the less a great movie that could counter disbelief with quality...

It was a great movie, script and story were OK, but execution of the film was fantastic.

Ang Lee is a really good director, has anybody seen Hsi yen (The Wedding Banquet), was recently on UK Channel 4

I'm sorry, hasn't EVERYONE seen it, then? Odd.

Did anyone else see the other odd Japenese movie the Weathergirl.. Made me laugh. Any way yes as I said the film succeeds on a number of levels and that is why despite its weakesses it will maintain longevity, which is better than some people and films

Bit of a corruption of the original story, though. It was missung the second sword, for a start.

The way in which the fights were choreographed in CTHD was very theatrical. A lot of the film was based around training in Wudan, and those who learned the art were granted weightlessness, superb. Kind of like those dreams you have when you suddenly realize you can fly. It wasn't like the film 'tried to get away with it' either, as many old Hong Kong action movies tried to do. Main character leaps 70 feet into the air, or his aunt or his grandma does, cos everyone can!

It;s meant to be on conservation of momentum rather than true, Superman like flight... but by the end they just seemed to be flying anywa.... great in any case.

I'd have to see it again to agree about the conservation of momentum thing, That manouver Jen performs which impressed Li Bu Mai suggests that's no the case (i.e mid air change in direction of momentum, with no body to provide a reaction force on her to propell her in a different direction, she just seemed to fly further upwards).

I know this is digging deep into the KMC archives

But... I've seen it and I loved it!

I cant believe I never seen this thread! I love this movie soOo much defiantly in top 5 all time favs! when ever I get bored I throw this in the dvd..cant help my self from jumping right to the action though!
the dvd has the English options which is dubbed superbly

actually i like the production of the movie and how they promote this movie outside HK. but for the story= nothing new for me. i've seen a lot like this. you might have known that it is almost the same as afternoon Kung Fu movie in HK, Taiwan and even Singapore.

story is indeed not really a lot, techniques on the other hand are done nicely

I didn't watch the film initally because I didn't think that it would be the kinda film I like. But I was at a friends house and he turned it on and I found myself loving it. I was extremely surprised!

Love this movie.. own it on dvd (^ ^

I loved this movie!

I really liked this movie, it was very moving. I felt very happy for the girl who jumped from on mountain to the other, that was cool.

What did you guys think of it?

Btw I really enjoyed this movie . The choreogrphies are great and the whole film is quite pleasant.

It was a Wonderful film. Quite dazzling.

Perfectly done film. I loved it. So emotive cry

The fight Choreographer is in his 50's can you guys believe that? Yuen Wo Ping was a great choice for this movie he is an old school fight director.

they were suppose to film the prequel to it..has anyone heard anything about this,I think it would be really great.

One of the best martial arts films made.

It has an amazing love story and the scenery was great.

I loved this film, watching this film encouraged me to go on to watch the house of flying daggers, thats also a very good film!

I haven't watched House of the Flying Daggers, yet, but it is certainly on my list. I also enjoyed Hero quite a bit. But my favourite is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. just a beautifully good movie.
