Crouching Tiger

Winner of four Academy Awards and two Golden Globe Awards, "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" paved a new path for foreign language films in America. It was the dream of the director, Ang Lee, to one day produce a Chinese tradition film that depicted the fantasy world of martial arts with its own specific laws; where people can fly and almost anything can happen. Unlike most martial arts film in the industry base solely on fight …

…and Hidden Dragon", he told a story of two couples in complete love of where one is fighting side by side and the other is fighting to be by ones' side. Lee hoped his film would show martial art not just as loyalty, honor, and tradition but to add inner emotions such as love, fear, and death into this category. In the movies' entirety, action, fantasy power and romance were all displayed together as one.
