DVD Reviews of Pushing Hands
DVD Review: A tai chi movie?
Summary: 4 Stars
This is probably the only movie that comes any close in its depiction of the actual practice of Tai Ji Quan. There is a lot of silence, character developement is very subtle. I gave it 4 stars, because if it d be anymore subtle, the movie would just have to stop all together. So Im giving it 4 stars and a thank you for keeping on moving to a happy resolution. He finds a chick;)

Description of Pushing Hands
Synopsis Before he is renowned for his masterpiece "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Oscar-nominated director Ang Lee had produced a number of widely acclaimed titles including "Pushing Hands". Telling a story of Mr. Old Chu, a conservative Chinese from Beijing, immigrating to the United States to live with his son, Lee illustrates the conflicts between western and eastern cultures and their enormous differences. Through the life-touching story and detailed descriptions of the characters, the themes and philosophies behind this movie are simply depicted. To understand Ang Lee's viewpoint towards Western and Eastern cultures and enjoy his simple but sentiment-filled works, this is the one you should enjoy.Mr. Chu is a recently widowed tai-chi master who moves from Beijing to New York to live with his son. Chu's American daughter-in-law, Martha, can't stand having him around the house. He finds her Western ideas on raising children and keeping a home to be curious at best. These conflicts test family bonds and Mr. Chu's highly developed sense of balance. This was the first feature as a director for Ang Lee (Sense and Sensibility) and has many of the hallmarks of his later, better-known works: finely observed characters, gentle yet pointed humor, and the ability to see and understand both sides of a cultural divide. The charismatic Sihung Lung (who also starred in Lee's The Wedding Banquet and Eat Drink Man Woman) plays Chu with strength and understatement, but Deb Snyder is miscast in a thankless role. The title refers to a tai-chi exercise that's at the center of the film's best scene, a standoff in the kitchen of a Chinese restaurant. --Geof Miller
