A comparison of two films I've seen recently. Since everybody else seems to be reviewing them in depth, here's the Cliff Notes version:
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon | O Brother, Where Art Thou? |
Based on an ancient Chinese legend | Based on an ancient Greek legend |
Directed by quirky film-maker Ang Lee | Directed by quirky film-maker Joel Coen |
Stars action hero Chow Yun Fat | Stars action hero George Clooney |
Amazing vistas of Chinese landscape | Amazing vistas of Dapper Dan hair gel |
Breathtaking kung fu scenes | Breathtaking banjo pluckin' |
Floating fighters were a little unbelievable | Sirens were a little unbelievable |
Really quite wonderful | Not quite as wonderful as usual |
