I watched the TV programs first. I understand it must have been difficult to make the long story to short. But the movie didn't reflect the original plot. Since I like Michelle Yoe and Zhan Ziyi, I bought the movie. But I didn't really enjoy it. I couldn't understand the ending, either. I wonder why it got the awrad. Anyway, I recommend "Hero" if you like to enjoy fantazy kun fu movies.

This movie is a new concept for both the viewer from the east and west. What director Ang Lee did was to take a Chinese martial arts fantasy film and add the true dramatic component so that it would appeal to all audiences. The sets, costumes and sound track are fantastic. The movie is set in 19th-centuary China and the clothing at the beginning of the period are of the correct period, but that soon goes out the window. Though it does not detract from the movie in any way. And the casting is nothing short of phenomenal. With the great dramatic actor Chow Yun Fat staring in his first martial arts film and Michelle Yeoh bringing her acting talents from the heart. An epic movie that is sure to stand the test of time.
In this movie two warriors are faced with the duel challenge of retrieving the stolen treasured sword called the Green Destiny and dealing with their true affection for each other. The of course cannot speak of their love for one another for Yeoh's character was engaged to be married and her fiancé was slain by a woman called the Jade Fox. What we must understand that in China if your fiancée is killed, you are considered a widow, so they would be breaking the rules of society if they acted on their love for one another.
We then learn the young woman who stole the sword is the disciple of this Jade Fox, but also an aristocrat who is being forced into an arranged marriage of political convenience. We learn that Jade Fox has here own reasons for doing what she did out of bitterness. And we learn the true focus of the film is the young girl. With everything else going on, she is also in love with a desert bandit who she felt duty bound to leave. And once she marries she realizes she made a mistake, so she goes around getting into sword fights.
The movie express epic romance, honor and self-respect along with the martial arts wirework we expect from Chinese martial arts films. And though all laws of physics do not apply, the fights are simply wonderfully choreographed. In this movie each warrior battles for justice, they each face their worst enemies as well as their true love. This is a film I highly recommend you watch.

Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is part-martial arts film, part-romance, and part-cinematic ballet. It is a visionary work that is unique and endlessly graceful.
The reunion between ill-fated lovers Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun-Fat) and Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh) is disrupted by the theft of a sword called the Green Destiny. The sword has been taken by the beautiful Jen Yu (Zhang Ziyi) who is determined to forsake her pampered existence. Mu Bai's quest to recover the Green Destiny eventually leads to a showdown with the young thief and an old adversary from his past.
Lee does a good job of examining the notion of romantic yearning through the characters of Li Mu Bai and Yu Shu Lien and the notion of personal sacrifice in light of one's status through the character of Jen Yu. Yet, it is the amazing acrobatics of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" that will catch your attention. Your first impulse when you see the rooftop chase early in the film will be to guffaw at all the laws of modern physics that are being ignored. At this point, you should suspend logic and embrace the special rules of Ang Lee's universe. By doing so you will be able appreciate all the visual wonders that are on display later in the film. Do not take "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" too literally and you will be privy to a rewarding viewing experience.
