What's the evaluation of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, directed by Ang Lee and starring Chow Yun Fat, Yang Ziqiong and Zhang Ziyi, won ten Oscar nominations and finally won four awards, including best foreign language film. Its position in China's film history is beyond doubt.

The evaluation of this film on the Internet also tends to be generally recognized and appreciated. Director Ang Lee's control of the tone and soundtrack of the film is very precise and delicate, and the scenes of killing and desire are perfectly intertwined, which fully shows the charm of Chinese style. Moreover, the actors are also excellent, showing the role incisively and vividly. For example, Yu Jiaolong, played by Zhang Ziyi, is an irreplaceable red rose in the eyes of many audiences. Director Ang Lee is very good at combining "reason and emotion" to make a martial arts film truly artistic.

There are many martial arts movies in China, but I think only Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon can really be called a martial arts movie, and the others are costume movies at best. Why? Because as long as there are dramas and costume dramas, they can't be called martial arts movies. What is the soul of martial arts movies? It's Jianghu. At that time, people's hearts were Jianghu. Compared with swords, people's feelings and desires are the rivers and lakes that Ang Lee really wants to show. There is evil in the sword, isn't there evil in human feelings?

Of course, this film also has some shortcomings. I feel a little sorry for Chow Yun Fat and Yang Ziqiong's struggling Mandarin, which easily makes people feel uncomfortable in their lines. But if it is really changed to other actors, it is difficult to guarantee that this film can achieve such results. We can't deny that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is one of the best martial arts films in China.
