Perhaps, the powerful storyline of the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was what encouraged one of the greatest cinematic martial arts directors Ang Lee, to make a film out of the Chinese novel. In this film, Lee’s primary function is not only to portray skillfully choreographed fighting scenes, but also to connect powerful sequences of events that touches upon the emotional complex human condition that is associated with both the Taoist and Buddhist belief systems.

His name was Eric Goldstaub and he said that if it wasn’t for Feng-Shan Ho his family would all be dead (Dempsey 1). It was not just the children but their children and their children’s children would not even exist if it weren’t for what Feng-Shan Ho did.

In Liu’s memoir, he goes into great depth describing his father’s role in his life. His father’s sickness was cleverly masked from the family for so many years. Liu wants to be able to relate to his father’s past. He struggles with the idea that he will never have the same cultural background as his parents had. It worries him that he struggles with the Chinese language and feels as though his culture is fading from generation to generation. His father is described as having an “endless reserve of inner strength” pg 30. The emptiness Liu feels is in part because he thinks he cannot live up to his father. He emphasizes that his “chineseness” lies with his looks and behavior. He questions his own loyalty to his family because he does not truly believe that he is “shaped by ethnicity” but rather, “shaped by situation” pg 30. Sadly as Liu began envisioning his future with his father and even progressing toward identifying with him, he passes and Liu falls back into questioning and reminiscing about what his

Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon, one of the most successful and popular Chinese-language movie in the West directed by Ang Lee, was considered as an eastern film for the western audience and a western film for the east. “I didn’t see any tiger or dragon in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; then I get it – they all crouched and hid.” This joke provoked a wave of laughter during an award ceremony in the United States, but my response was a satiric sneer. This is because the phrase “crouching tiger, hidden dragon” in Chinese is an old idiom, which should rather be understood by its metaphorical meaning instead of interpreting it literally, as the joke teller did. The same joke created different reactions among audiences of different regions; similarly, the same film – Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Crouching Tiger) – received diverse responses in the United States and China. Compare to its huge popularity in the west, this movie did not strike such success in Chinese community especially mainland China, where the story takes place. In many mainstream movie communities like Mtime and Douban in China, Crouching Tiger does not rank even top 30 in overall film ratings. How does it happen? I think the director and his filming style is a really important clue for this question. And with the director’s unique filming style, Crouching Tiger succeeds internationally and differs itself from other martial arts genre and Hollywood action movie for

The film Confucius was released in 2010 starring Chow Yun Fat. Given that Chow is a “superstar,” his casting tends to overshadow the verisimilitude of the film. For example, much of Confucius’ personal life in the film is fictionalized as we are introduced to his wife and daughter. Similarly, a scene in the movie is dedicated to the legendary meeting between Confucius and Lao Zi in which Confucius asks for and gets advice. … [clip three at 17:30]. The scene is a bit romanticized though because it features Confucius and Lao Zi meeting on a mountain above clouds. Nevertheless, this scene reflects the ideas of Confucius as a scholar that believes in governing by morality and Lao Zi as one that believes in governing by inaction.

Ang Lee’s Crouching tiger Hidden Dragon is probably one of the most successful foreign films to ever be screened in America. Being the number one film of the year in 2000. On the other hand it was reportedly considered a flop in China. While it was influenced by American film styles, it still kept true to many aspects of its Chinese film heritage. With very apparent love story, it lacked the Extreme amount of Kung Fu fight scenes eastern audiences have come to enjoy. This is a stunning love story between a monk and widow. While it does have its share of over the top fight scenes, when you start to dig deeper the films many social implications become apparent. With ties to subjects such as religion, martial arts, philosophy, love, and even gender issues. This film is a representation of the modern era and how long practiced traditions are being challenged.

China as a nation has always been weak (World History: The Modern Era). It has been an acquisition to many nations and groups. However in history’s recent past it has fallen to Japan and Communism. Both of which can be viewed through the lens of good and the lense of bad. However for the China born author Ha Jin it is not viewed under the light of prosperity but instead dread and oppression. These are not tales to be taken lightly in any sense but instead to show how humanity is not always human and empathy is not always present in one’s soul. Ha Jin uses dramatic events and actions with certain points of view to develop characters that antagonize Communist and Japanese rule over China.
