Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

            Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a Chinese movie directed by Ang Lee, who won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film for this movie. I have seen this movie twice. The first time I saw it, I was only 10 years old, I cannot understand its deep meaning, I am only attracted by its beautiful scene and exciting fights in it. 














There is a line talked to Jen by Yu Shu Lien at the end of the movie, "Promise me one thing, whatever path you take in life, be true to yourself." First she wanted to kill her because Li Mu Bai died for her, but she didn't. She let her go. Be true to yourself is the main theme of this movie. Everyone in the movie have their own story, own dream. But some of them are not true to themselves. Li Mu Bai and Yu Shu Lien loved each other for many many years. But because their morality, they have never acknowledged or acted on them. When Li Mu Bai was dying, he told Yu Shu Lien that he loved her so much, but it was too late, they can't be together any more. Yu Shu Lien wanted Jen be true to herself, do the things she really wanted to do. Don't regret at the last.
