Bewertung von Gandalf-64
Why did I not write a comment on "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" before. Why?...because I would not know what to say.
I have seen it seven times now...Let us see if I can tell something about it now....
The best romantic story I have ever seen....Shakespeare would have enjoyed the development between Li Mu Bai and Shu Lien. This is top drama & top tragedy, set in a culture where people don't easily show their emotions. Michelle Yeoh was not nominated for an Oscar, but should have been and should have won.....
The most natural Martial Arts movie I have ever seen. And I have seen hundreds of them in the seventies and eighties. In all the martial arts were the most important piece of the movie, even in the Bruce Lee ones. The story was made up around the martial art scenes. In "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" we see some breath taking action that is clearly a part of the whole story.
That is why this movie is not strictly a Martial Arts movie, but a brilliant fantasy tale within the Chinese culture during the Han dynasty.
What can be said of the characters....I have seen no weak performances at all. But, again, the performance of Michelle Yeoh as Shu Lien has literally taken my breath away......I do not know the superlatives to describe her performance.
What can be said of the movie......All became silent, all were in awe....all loved......
10/10

Strictly speaking this is of course not a movie, but a documentary and a live recording of Elvis Presley in Vegas.
No, I never was an Elvis fan. In the seventies Elvis was almost history and I went for Uriah Heep and other loud loud bands. I did not buy Elvis records and I hardly watched his movies, saw his concerts etc.
Then this movie appears on the main screens. My curiosity wins...I am older now, my musical taste is much broader. So, I wanted to see it. I wanted to see the movie, to see what kind of guy Elvis was, or at least catch a glimpse of who he was. And I was pleasantly surprised.
Then came the recording of his live concerts in Vegas in 1970. I sat, watched, listened, enjoyed....and almost became an Elvis fan myself...wooohhhh.......

The idea is so simple. Do something good to three people and then these three people do something real good to three each. Just calculate how soon the world would be reached with this simple plan.
But in the movie realism never leaves the screen. For the boy who thought of the idea (Haley Joel Osment in another splendid, Oscar deserving role) it does not work out. Worse even, the working out of his own plan will cost him his life.
The stories behind the main characters are so realistic and so brilliantly set to screen, that at times the movie shocks you and scares you. Yes, this is happening in the world. Kevin Spacey and Helen Hunt both deserve Oscars as well for a brilliant performance of very difficult characters.
Mimi Leder has done it again (the last movie directed by her was Deep Impact). There are no heroes here who save the world. There are people here who struggle with their past and present lives, but in the struggle find a way to do good to others, even if that means sacrificing themselves.
The way all this is presented on screen is so real, so life as it is, that it will always touch you, whoever you are and whatever you are in this world.
Thank you Mimi Leder, thank you Joel Osment, thank you Kevin Spacey and thank you Helen Hunt, for making this the best movie I have seen in the last few years. Just makes you wonder why this movie is away from the cinemas after only two weeks...........
