Well, I finally saw it last night: 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'. It was great. I hope it does very well in the Oscars. The fight scenes were spectacular. I also thought the acting was good. Ang Lee's visuals were beautiful, as always. And the ending was strong and not too sentimental. I'm sorry it's not doing better at home.

One minute criticism: The film's major moral point is: be true to yourself. Man, that's a Disney deal. It's too simplistic. We've got a problem when that's the only moral our culture can come up with. What if being true to myself is shooting, decapitating, and skinning a stray cat? Or worse?
