Been meaning to get this up for a couple of weeks now as I thought it was an amazing film & very inspiring art wise. It had beautiful colours and sets that if you are into eastern culture , its like taking an eastern feast drug. The music sent you off into dreamworld that was almost meditational. I loved that each scene had its own unique colour even if it was the same set and characters over and over.
The figths scenes were also hypnotic in the way they were played out, slowley and with thought to the movement of th swords and bodys. Although a little repetitive as the story is told from different versions. I think the only drawback was that you were never able to feel for character because of the story changing every time it was played out.So in comparison to crouching tiger it was very well mastered but crouching had more heart to it as you sympathised with the main characters.
