Please do. Also, it should be said that Crouching Tiger has far less "trite dialogue" than most wuxia. I don't mind flying people, or people screaming out, "Flying Lion Dragon Rhino Stance!"...I can accept it as part of the genre. However, a lot of wuxia suffers from cheesy material. Crouching Tiger, when you watch it all the way through, is much better than most wuxia. Hero, by Zhang Yimou, is as well. House of Flying Daggers...not so much. Ashes of Time is pretty cool. And so on and so forth...
