Which is more powerful? An invincible weapon or a beautiful girl?
In most Kung Fu movies, power is in one's Kung Fu skills. In the real world, however, power is in those who can control others in power.
Li Mu Bai (Chow YunFat) is a celibate monk who has devoted his life to becoming the highest warrior. He holds the Green Destiny, a mythical sword that can make its yielder almost invincible.
Jen (Zang Ziyi) is a beautiful young girl who fascinates all men. They are willing to do anything for her, including risking death to be with her. Yet, she isn't satisified. She wants the Green Destiny to become even more powerful. She can attract or kill anyone. How exciting this must be for a young woman seeking adventure.
Despite his status as a monk and his love for Yu Shu (Michelle Yeoh), Li Mu Bai finds Jen irresisitible. He continually uses the Green Destiney as an excuse to follow Jen. He wants to make her his disciple even though his Kung Fu sect does not accept women. "Is it me or the sword you want?" asks Jen.
Jen sees no need to be Li Mu Bai's disciple. Perhaps she realizes she can control Li Mu Bai with her sexuality.
When power is in those who are selfish and reckless, the consequence can be tragic. The Green Destiny, even in the skillful hands of Jen, does not kill Li Mu Bai. But it is his fascination with Jen which kills him.

The two stars I gave this film was for the beautiful scenery portrayed in the movie. That was all I liked about this movie. The story did not carry well, the teenage girl really began to annoy me almost immediately with her perpetual psycho trip. The special effects were pretty cool the first time you saw them but for the rest of the movie the "flying around" got quite old.
My idea of what makes a good movie are examples such as "Braveheart" and "Gladiator"; this movie however was a sleeper. Buy this movie if you're looking for a cure for insomnia.

This movie was simply a revelation. I had grown up on equal parts Kung-Fu/Martial Hero movies, and Western action/drama, and had always wished for something that would combine the very best elements of both genres. This is the closest I've found in movie form.
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon takes the core elements of Wuxia, the master/disciple paradigm, the culture of River & Lake (the chivalry of the underworld or marginalized peoples), the ideals of Chan and Tao, and infuses a Western introspection and immediacy.
This, at last, is Wuxia that strikes from and to the heart, made only greater by the fantastic scenery of Mainland China (from the northern deserts to the bamboo forests to the temples of Wudang), and the peerless acting skills of Chow, Yeoh, Zhang, et al.
A masterpiece and a personal inspiration.

No doubt one of very best martial art movie of all time with great aspect at all area, probably a good thing jet li didn' took the role, the plot is something u won't see often in chinese martial movie, the plot is alot more organized this one althought flying around tree and root can be been too fantasy. Thre's no reason you won't like this movie if u are martial art film fan.

Warrior stories in Asian culture is same as Scientific stories in Western culture. It's legend of all ages.
Ang Lee did it let both element merge in harmony and tell beautiful love stories thru this movie.
Watch Ang Lee's movie never disappointing you. Even "Hulk" is a little bite out of track, but I still think it's a way Lee explore himself deep inside.
Don't forget Hulk is also one of our great hero once upon at time ...
