The story was originally written in 1940-ish. Martial Artists were their superheroes and it’s natural that their abilities get embellished when telling stories. The first novel from the series was written before Superman even existed in 1938 and remember even Superman didn’t fly at the time, only leap really high. It makes sense in that context. Personally, I have no issue with it because I have loved kung fu movies since the 80s where it’s absolutely normal to see.
That is interesting. I remember seeing the movie and wondering if they included Chinese mythology, and maybe there is, but to find out the primary source material was their version of a romance novel from the 40’s…just, wow!
I also thought about the 80s movies we joked about sounding like people slapping ping-pong paddles and how they looked funny flying around the room — mostly because we’d jump on beds like that. (What’s so special about that, my sister and I do that any time our Dad gets us on the weekend and takes us to a motel?) Dumb joke. The way they flew across the bamboo in the first Crouching Tiger movie didn’t bother me like it did others — it just seemed like the same poetic license B&W movie makers took (you want it dramatic, then bring up the orchestra, bring up the lights).
I gotta watch this - Donnie Yen & Michelle Yeoh.
