As a Taiwanese, I am so proud of Ang Lee. He did so many innovations for the Wu-Xia Movie Genre which has been very important for several generations in Taiwan, China, and HK. The beauty of the movement goes in unison with the fine story. However, a viewer has to be a Chinese speaker to be able to understand the poor accent the actors have. But accent comes not so important when the production value of the whole film reaches a certain high level. It has been a sensation all over Asian, and I hope the western viewers can grasp the breathtaking beauty of the film.
