Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
(2000)
Starring Michelle Yeoh (Shu Lien), Chow Yun-Fat (Li Mu Bai),
Zhang Ziyi (Jen/Jiao
Long), Chang Chen (Lo/ Xiao Hu), Cheng Peipei (Jade Fox)
This proves that Michelle is
a
star, beyond anything anyone else can say. She plays Yu Shu Lien,
martial
artist and head of a security company and friend of the fantastic
fighter
Li Mu Bai, played by Chow Yun-Fat. Mu Bai is giving up the life
in
the underworld, fighting the good fight, and gives Shu Lien his
imfamous
sword, the Green Destiny, to hand to their benefactor. From the
beginning,
you know these two are in love, but also see that even though they know
they
are, they won’t take the next step. Over the course of the movie,
during
which the Green Destiny is stolen by a young, skilled but inexperienced
fighter,
the relationship is played out, and the ending was just great! A
must
see for any Michelle fan!
