Message: <blockquote data-quote="Man in the Funny Hat" data-source="post: 3490676" data-attributes="member: 32740">Um...  The plot of this movie is that a left-for-dead pregnant woman spends 3 hours on screen planning and performing her blood-soaked revenge upon those who wronged her.  You want freakin' ART from this?  You get, more or less, the only thing that CAN be gotten from a plot like this - an attempt at violence with SOME semblence of originality and style in its presentation, and not just violence for its own gratuitous sake without ANY other consideration.That you don't care for the style... well, as I said, since you apparantly wanted ART this should be no surprise.  But even so, the style will not appeal to everyone.  I rather enjoyed it, but have friends who gave up on it in less than 10 minutes and passed judgement on the whole without having SEEN but a fraction.  They never saw the better fights nor heard the soundtrack and refuse to bother with it any further.  There simply doesn't have to BE an explanation, or a "defense" that can be laid out for you to convince you that your PERSONAL impression of the movie as inferior is wrong.I went to see Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon with those same aforementioned friends.  While I found more to like about it than they we all DID agreee that its reputation as the greatest thing since sliced sushi was UNFORGIVABLY overblown.In short, simply explaining to you what others like about it is not going to alter what you like/don't like in general about such movies.</blockquote>
