Crouching Tiger Hidden Conventions
Often times films can have a functional duality. ... One such film that exhibits this is Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon – an action-packed yet moving love story directed by acclaimed director Ang Lee. ... Looking deeper we can see the generic conventions, use of star figures, and the unnecessary spectacles used to grasp the viewer and provide a solid foundation for the movie. ... When Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was released in 2000 it was an instant success. ... Lee used certain generic conventions inherent in most Hong Kong martial arts films. ... This however, is not the main focus of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, as it is in other films including Fist of Fury, where Bruce Lee’s main goal is to destroy the school that killed his master. ... This all reinforces the fact that generic conventions still play a large role in martial arts films today. ... Crouching Tiger also stars Michelle Yeoh who has been in many Hong Kong films but also starred alongside Pierce Brosnan in the 007 film Tomorrow Never Dies.
