Hey, it’s a clean one! No rough language here.
Let’s chase an awesome sword all over the Far East’s countryside as the Next 142 Project peeks at a picture about tigers and/or dragons who are crouching and/or hidden. Ang Lee’s wire-fu love story still packs a clanging wallop, emotionally and certainly viscerally. Chow Yun-Fat, Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Ziyi are all immensely talented stunt-people, as well as being pretty solid at the emoting thing. Nineteen years on, this picture is still beautiful and moving. It’s Ang Lee though, so you oughta know it was never going to end well.
