Review of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

The film firmly caught the eye of westerners, as if the two protagonists and two clues were tailored for westerners. The protagonists Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian are western intellectuals. Plato's love, Shakespeare's dialogue and lofty humanistic realm are all right. Luo Xiaohu and Yu Jiaolong, the protagonists of western cowboy characters who dare to love, hate, fight and kill, are prepared for ordinary American audiences; The story of Li Mubai's revenge for his master's killing of the blue-eyed fox coincides with the main line of The Count of Monte Cristo, and this clue of stealing the green ghost's sword is very similar to an American pop drama. Therefore, the significance of this film lies not in how many elements of China are displayed in Ang Lee, but in how to make many Americans understand and accept this display in an appropriate way.

The soundtrack of the film review was written by Tan Dun, a composer living in the mainland of the United States, and was led by Yo Yo Ma, an internationally renowned Chinese cellist. CoCo Lee, who is compatible with eastern and western pop culture, is responsible for singing the theme song "A Love Before Time" in Chinese and English, and the collocation is quite fresh. The theme music style of the film is graceful, sad but not hurt, which can be said to complement the implicit love expression in the last film. In the climbing session, with the sound of drums close at hand, the tense and exciting martial arts atmosphere is fully set off, which is the best soundtrack of China movies.

This movie doesn't have the legendary swordsman's heroic spirit like ordinary martial arts movies. Instead, it is a kind of deep thinking and implication to find the humanistic connotation of rivers and lakes. The film almost reached an extremely profound point in China's traditional culture, that is, the suppression and bondage of individuals, and at the same time showed the powerful role and necessity of this oriental social norm, as well as its conflict with human nature and the ultimate tragic reconciliation.
