The film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, adapted from Wang Dulu's novel, perfectly combines literary language with film language. Director Ang Lee changed the style of emotional ethics films and interpreted China's classical aesthetic tradition and emotional concept to a new height from another more modern and brand-new angle.

From the perspective of film language, all audio-visual elements such as photography, director, action design, recording and music fully reflect the director's profound style and praise and love for China's classical culture.

200 1 Ang Lee boarded the Oscar for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, won ten nominations, and finally won four awards, including best foreign language film, which brought China films to a new realm of word of mouth and set off a new wave of martial arts films in China film circle.

However, the "Jianghu" in Ang Lee's lens is not just a world of swords and shadows. From the previous Wedding Banquet and eat drink man woman to the later Hulk and Brokeback Mountain, no matter how the background and theme change, the feelings of a traditional China scholar have never changed.

"Crouching tiger, hiding dragon and rivers and lakes, isn't that what people want?" This line is the best footnote of this movie.
