Contemporary Chinese wuxia epics are enjoying immense popularity in America. Crouching liger, Hidden Dragon opened the door, Hero marched through it triumphantly and director Zhang Yimou has modestly expressed nervousness about the high expectations for House of Flying Daggers to do even better. Yet, some Chinese think these are not representative enough of modern Chinese films even as some American critics misunderstand what is so very Chinese about them.
近年来,规模宏大的中国武侠片在美国等西方国家受到格外的欢迎。《卧虎藏龙》是打响西方电影市场的头一炮。随后《英雄》又在 商业上获得了成功,该片导演张艺谋就他的另一部武侠力作《十面埋伏》能否满足人们对它的巨大期望表示担心。尽管美国的影评人 认为这些电影充满了中国味儿,不少中国人却不认为它们是中国现代电影的代表作。
