lmao love the list of name speedly mix of Chinese, Cantonese, English, and perhaps other European names. Made me try really hard to distinguish the nationality in each name
@@jwelch5742 You are not better than anybody as you allow an elite Oscar community to do the thinking for you instead of going beyond that and thinking for yourself critically about the movie rather than say something so stupid like "X has great cinematography" spamming in every Oscar video.
Many of the crew were Cantonese/Hong Kongers. The leads Chow + Michelle, came from the HK entertainment industry, so it is only fitting that Cantonese should be spoken.
ilford6x6 O Brother Where Art Thou is actually a very well crafted film. Strong cinematography and a unique color effect process gives it a special and evocative mood. The actual film may split opinion, but the filming process was superb!
And yes tough competition that year. There were some very big films that came out in close succession around that time, I think it makes Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon’s recognition even more special.
It has a great story action and casting for 16 years later. But also a Made-for-TV feel not cinematic like the first. Notice they did not have the same cinematographer is why.
@@scorpioninpink Correct. Even today, 20+ yrs later, people rave about CTHD; not so with Gladiator. (Also, the leads for CTHD are still stunning/handsome.)
