This one of my dad's favorite movies
and I can't stand it. Well till today, because I finally saw the end
and it made me feel justified. I can see why it won the Academy, but
truly this is a movie much more about fighting, this is a movie about
betrayal and fear. That stupid ignoramus Joaquin played is a pain int
eh tushy, his “love” knows no bounds and it is scary to imagine
what this man would do to those who love him. However his sister is
equally on the nutso track and double times his ass. I liked Rusell
Crowe but he could have been easily replaced, this movies is really
driven by Joaquin and his Lucilla. Also I love the soundtrack to this
movie, the great and almighty Hans Zimmer made it so breathtakingly
beautiful, I could listen to it for hours. I wish that “Chocolat”
had won instead because I enjoy that movie more, but my father would
disagree. However “Crouching Tiger, hidden Dragon” was beautiful
and should have won, but alas the Academy has failed me yet again.
It also won awards for;
Best Actor (Russell Crowe)
Best Visual Effects
Best Costume Design
Best Sound (Bob Beemer, Scott Millan and Ken Weston)
