This was mentioned a few weeks back and I shyied away from it due to my lack of knowledge and understanding of what this film was about. Now, I have changed my way of thought from wht its about to what it means. To me, Crouching Tiger means fantasy is coming back. Although not a traditional fantasy, it is what I love about film and literature fantasy, taking the everyday and twisting it with the unbelievable.
I got my first issue of Total Movie Magazine on Friday (if you don't get this magazine, I suggest it. It has a free DVD loaded with trailers and special features with each issue). The DVD in this issue has the Crouching Tiger trailer, and I must say I was facinated and truely drawn in by the complexity of the film. ITs not another run of the mill action/martial arts film, but an epic. An epic with deep characters that seem to human to be fictional, and to exotic to be real. I'm in total suspense to see this film, and am already wanting to be drawn into the world it creates. The reviews so far are stellar, and my understanding of the plot makes me think this could be the only film of 2000 better than Gladiator.
