Review of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) by Luna W — 28 Sep 2010

Story line of this movie is better than Hero.

Again, Zhang is in this movie. She played Jen, a Manchu aristocrat?s daughter, who yearns for adventure. For this movie, Zhang won the Independent Spirit?s Best Supporting Actress Award and the Toronto Film Critics? Best Supporting Actress Award. But every time I see her, I see a fragile straw that wants to be a chopstick. If you watched the House of Flying Daggers, you would know what I mean. It seems that she is too much of a work without clean cut. Or to say, there are hundreds of things on her mind that she cannot decide which one to go after. I loved Michelle Yeoh, a strong lady with profound passion, who knows what she is doing.
