Besides, I like when you write: "[...] it honours the emotion itself as the governing force of life." That was right on. In fact, I recall liking <I>Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon</I>, because it was the first martial arts film I've seen that relies on psychological depth rather than piling up fight scenes for no reason (like a film from Bruce Lee). <br /><br /><br />This leads me to say that many people I know write this film off just because the fight scenes were unrealistic and also because they don't expect to see any ounce of drama in martial art films. Seriously, those people turn their brain on when they watch a romantic film, but when they watch a martial art film, they turn it off. How strange.<br /><br />"[...] GLADIATOR actually went on to win the title that year, perhaps brawn is more appealing than brains and beauty combined anyway."<br /><br />Let's face it: the American Academy just try to pander to the mainstream public (the same thing can also be said about the Canadian Academy which gives the Genie Award for Best Picture to <I>Passchendaele</I>) who watch films for entertainment rather than for art's sake.Anh Khoi Dohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018387547508527604noreply@blogger.com
