Made for a mere $15,000,000, the look of the movie suggests a budget far greater than this.
It ended up taking more than $200,000,000 worldwide.
Ang Lee also scooped the David Lean award for Direction at the BAFTAs.
The masked thief is the young aristocratic Jen played by Zhang Ziyi, whose arranged marriage is imminent.
The themes of feminism and female empowerment in the face of inequality are prominent throughout the movie.
Shes also conflicted, as she feels loyalty to Jade Fox despite being more skilled than her.
Shes reluctant to accept Mu-bais offer to teach her.
When I first saw the movie I wasnt impressed.
The transfer to Blu-Ray is excellent.
From early on in the movie theres an incredible amount of detail that can be seen on screen.
Youre best off altering it to Mandarin with subtitles.
