   I just got a copy of Crouching Tiger, and although I had seen it before,
tonight I was struck by all the similarities to another movie, The Princess
Bride...  Just two quick examples before bed...in the PB there is a
man(Inigo Montoya) who spent much of his life trying to avenge his ***ed
father, but failing...In CT the Mu Bai spent along time trying to find the
killer of his master, but looses hope.
   Further in PB there is a man(the Man in Black aka the Dread Pirate
Roberts) who, although he really is a nice guy...must project a personna of
remorselessness other-wise his life will be much harder and it will be work
work work all time...similarly, the Desert Bandit Dark Cloud, a good fellow
who relies on a bad reputation to do most of his fighting for him....
   I could go on..but it's late...work tomorrow...have fun a Pocono.

  Yes, but does CT have a bunch of great one-liners aka Bride ?

  That movie was a real sleeper IMO, great stuff.

No, it should read...

my name is juan pablo montoya
i thought you were a fair guy to race against
but I broke my frontwing when I couldn't handle being a few tenths behind
you and I decided it was necessary to sacrifice myself
prepare to die...
