Crouching Tiger

[a0322267]

After reading some of the mails about Ang Lee's film, I want to mention 
my experience with this film. I only saw a German dubbed version, in a 
big cinema, where most of the audience obviously knew at least the 
Martial Arts films. They laughed too at several points. Partly maybe 
because the 'philosophy' sounded too American. Partly because many of the 
jumps etc looked too artificial in the sense: Let's show the audience, 
with no regard to what should be functional for the film. And it wasn't 
helped by the editing.
