#Crouching tiger hidden dragon sword of destiny skin
Here, the 21-year-old talks about the rigors of the two martial arts disciplines, what saves her skin on long-haul flights, and why breakfast rules the day.īoth the original Crouching Tiger and the sequel center on master-student relationships. And Liu Bordizzo accepted the challenge: Already a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, she underwent intensive training in Wudang sword-fighting.
Though certain aspects of the sequel are quite a departure from Ang Lee’s Oscar-winning original-the unconventional distribution a new director (the respected martial arts choreographer Woo-Ping Yuen and dialogue in English, not Mandarin-the fight scenes still reveal an impressive technical mastery. With her finely modeled features, calligraphy-stroke eyebrows, and dimpled chin, Liu Bordizzo cuts a striking figure as Snow Vase, the free-spirited ingenue who trains under Yu Shu Lien (played by the regal Michelle Yeoh, reprising her role). “I flew to New Zealand a week later, I dropped out of university, and here I am,” she said, still a bit incredulous two years later. After reading for a supporting role in the follow-up to the 2000 film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, she got a surprise call the next day announcing that she’d landed the lead. If Liu Bordizzo’s career beginnings have a fairy-tale ring, so does the story of her first-ever audition. “My agent in Sydney, she found me on Instagram,” the Australian beauty explained by phone this week from Los Angeles, where she is just setting down roots.
When Natasha Liu Bordizzo makes her wide-screen debut on Friday in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny, premiering in IMAX theaters and on Netflix, she will have a much smaller screen to thank.
