I guess this movie, just like "Hero", is not meant for Chinese audience, but for international viewers.

It is just a movie meant for "export".

Maybe the success of "crouching tiger, hidden dragon" makes Zhang realize this type of movie can really sell!
There is no need of a good script, no need to make sense, but only need,
1. plenty of KongFu,
2. a love story,
3. beatuiful scenery, focus on BAMBOO forest! as they are considered to be exotic and unusual.
and therefore BAMBOO fighting (not sure whether people are already sick of this).
4. oversimpified historical events so that it won't be too changlendging for simple-minded foreign audience.


但卧虎是有情节的啊, 情节还很丰富, 讲了挺多事, 好歹也是根据一个小说改编的. 人物塑造性格也挺鲜明的, 虽然很多人不喜欢那个女主角性格, 但好歹人家也表现出那人物的性格了.
这埋伏算是个什么烂情节, 他以为是HK拍肥皂剧哪, 今晚上写出下一集剧本第二天早上就开拍, 拍到哪算哪, 把主角写死了算完.

没戏, OSCAR又不是在评祖国风光片.
