Named "Best Picture of the Year" by over 100 critics nationwide! Two master warriors (Chow Yun Fat and Michelle Yeoh) are faced with their greatest challenge when the treasured Green Destiny sword is stolen. A young aristocrat (Zhang Ziyi) prepares for an arranged marriage, but soon reveals her superior fighting talents and her deeply romantic past. As each warrior battles for justice, they come face to face with their worst enemy - and the inescapable, enduring power of love. Set against 19th-century China's breathtaking landscape, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is the action-packed, box office smash from acclaimed director Ang Lee (Sense and Sensibility, The Ice Storm) featuring stunning martial arts choreography by Yuen Wo Ping (The Matrix).

If you've been wavering on buying a copy, I would say go for it.
First of all, Ang Lee's direction is masterful and instantly propelled his to all time great director status. His vision for this film is unparalleled to this day. His romance drama scenes are so beautiful and endearing with subtle performances to bring a sweet tenderness to the roles. While Lee's direction for the fight is high speed action and seemingly endless fighting, but shot in such a way that you are held in suspense by every blow. The breathtaking cinematography from Peter Pau will have you gazing at the screen in sheer awe during every scene.
Chow Yun-Fat's leading role as hero swordsman Master Li Mu Bai is legendary. His speed driven combat is as graceful as a dance, but as forceful as a swordsman should be for each move. Yun-Fat brings a calm wisdom and a sure confidence to his role, while simultaneously portraying a hesitant lover. His romance with Michelle Yeoh, as Yu Shu Lien, is touching. They have wondrous chemistry. You completely fall in love with these characters and wish them the best. Yeoh delivers as riveting and fast paced swordsmanship to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon as Chow Yun-Fat. Together, they are marvelous fighters and thoughtful heroes. I must say that Michelle Yeoh is pretty devastating as a woman who cannot admit her feelings for her love until it's too late.
I have to mention the stunning and skillful Zhang Ziyi as Jen Yu. Her anti-hero arc is powerful and captivating. Every look Ziyi gives reveals more of her character's feelings without a word. Zhang Ziyi portrays an adorable romance with Chang Chen as Lo the outlaw "Dark Cloud." He is a fun and carefree anti-hero, while she is a hateful villain turned into a sympathetic character over the course of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon's massive run-time. She delivers astonishing displays of swordsmanship with fluid, swift, kung fu combat. Likewise, her dramatic acting rips your heart out during her tears for her lover and her despair for her master. Zhang Ziyi immediately established herself as one of the greatest living actresses ever after Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Lastly, I should commend Tan Dun's score. His music brings you back in time to ancient China with a romantic haze and a sweeping sincerity. Yo Yo Ma even plays his cello with all his soul for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. This is hands down one of the most lovely and memorable film scores of all time.
First is the relationship between Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun Fat) and Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh). The two have always liked each other but are to shy and formal to do anything about it. In all their interactions their love for each other is always just in the background. As their mutual friend tells Shu Lien when it comes to emotions heroes can be idiots. Second, Yu Jen (Zhang Ziyi) who is a governor’s daughter wants to escape the restraints of her position and be a woman hero. She has been taught martial arts by the Jade Fox (Cheng Pei Pei) who is a criminal. Jen is both rebellious and impetuous leading her to steal Mu Bai’s famous sword. She is actually the center of the entire flick as her actions affect all the other major character. The Jade Fox also happens to be the person that killed Mu Bai’s master so he is after her as well. The last story is a love affair between Jen and a bandit she meets named Lo (Chang Chen).
Each one of these storylines represents a dilemma for the characters. Will Mu Bai and Shu Lien be honest about their emotions for each other? Will Jen learn to be disciplined and be a hero or turn out to be a criminal like Jade Fox? Will Mu Bai capture Jade Fox? Will Jen allow herself to be with Lo or will her desires get the best of her? They also relate to the themes. Mu Bai feels his responsibilities cannot allow him to follow his heart. His duty involves dispensing justice, which drives him to find Jade Fox. Jen and Lo represent the youthful rebelliousness. Finally, Jade Fox and Jen represent women trying to break out of their roles. Jade Fox for instance went to the famous Wudan school of martial arts but the master wouldn’t teach her because she was a woman. That’s why she ended up killing him. Part of the reason why Ju wants adventure is to not only escape her arranged marriage, but to prove her skills versus men.
On top of all that Crouching Tiger has some amazing action sequences. Ang Lee employed the famous Hong King wire style in his fight scenes which captivated Western audiences. For example in the first one, Jen steals Mu Bai’s sword and can be seen jumping along roofs and flying up walls. There are other great scenes like that such as when Mu Bai is chasing Jen through a forest and the two jump from tree top to tree top.
Altogether there was a reason why Crouching Tiger received so many accolades when it was released. It is a beautifully made picture with great action and endearing stories.

Good news is that the original subtitles are back after the horrible version that was done for the 1080p Blu-Ray release. Stuff like "piece of cake" during one of the fight scenes are gone. Not sure what that version was about or why Sony did such a bad re-write of the subtitles.
Picture quality is good (I watched it on a Vizio P75 with HDR enabled). However, there is noticeable digital noise (like color dithering) that should have been cleaned slightly. It's very apparent on close up face shots in the skin tones.
I only use 3.1 audio so I can't comment on the full surround experience but everything sounded fine.
This is the Gone with the Wind of martial arts films, and I'm glad to have it in UHD.

The story lines, the landscapes, the costumes and the acting caught so much my attention that I even didn't mind or even forgot about those humans standing straight on tiny branches on top of trees. I was nothing else than delighted. I kept that movie in y collection and still watch it every once in a while even after those years. That movie was not the one that opened me to Asian and martial art movies, but it was certainly the one that brooked the ice and prevent me to miss the beautiful story of Forbidden Kingdom (Jacky Chan and Jet Li) bought few weeks ago and which was almost immediately followed by the stunning Red Cliff, directed by John Woo as well.
If you like the genre and did not see this one yet, well I'm telling you, you are missing something.
Trae Bluray y 4k, idioma y subtítulos en español latino, excelente
