It's definitely the lack of empathy I felt with the characters in House of Flying Daggers that had me thinking 'yes, it's all very pretty but so what?' as the movie progressed. The doomed m-f relationships in the other two movies are equally flawed but to my mind that much more poignant and they seem like real people.
I'd love to see Ang Lee do more wuxia movies, but I'm also looking forward to Zhang Yimou's new one, which ought to be out some time in 2007...
