Simply expectacular!, May 17 2004

It's hard to find words to describe this movie. I usually wonder why we do not see more movies like this....The soundtrack, the photography, the actors, etc. Everything is so well connected and interrelated that the whole movie is like a long meditation, but not action-free. Ang Lee had done a wonderful work with the characters, because you see then fighting, but at the same time their emotions are under control. The path of a master is full of challenges where emotions have to be controlled in order to achieve the higher mountains of realization!
