ok, so yesterday i watched the tape of crouching tiger/hidden dragon that andrew brought home from the library. i found it to be a visual pleasing movie, as i would expect from the director of one of my favorite jane austin films- sense and sensibility. of course with jane austin. ang lee couldn't mess around with the ending- austin fans would rebel if lee had changed the happy conclusion to something like emma thompson jumping off a bridge rather than marrying hugh grant. i didn't see that coming, though i did not that the male lead would be killed by the jade fox because andrew accidently let that slip at dinner........i was surprised to see such a non-glamourous role for a movie antogonist- the jade fox was mean even for mean mamma standards.....obviously i would have preferred jen to go off in the sunset with lo, and michelle yeoh to find happiness with the guy whose name i cannot remember. i did like his haircut- of course, i was impressed by the fight scenes- i liked the scene in the pub where jen clears them all out one by one. a true ninja babe........
