At the end of the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon directed by Ang Lee, why did Yu Jiaolong, played by Zhang Ziyi, commit suicide by jumping off a cliff?

The film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon directed by Ang Lee has attracted a lot of attention in China. Although it is a relatively recent film, I believe many fans will still remember some details. The film was a very high box office at that time, ranking first in Chinese mainland and Hongkong. Zhang Ziyi's performance, in particular, attracted countless fans, especially at the end of the film, Yu Jiaolong, played by Zhang Ziyi, tried to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff, leaving many people with endless regrets. So why did Yu Jiaolong finally choose to jump off the cliff? I have some ideas of my own, and now I want to discuss them with you. I hope my friends will like it.

In fact, at the beginning of the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the appearance of Yu Jiaolong has already set the stage, because the film has begun to show that Yu Jiaolong is still a person who is not suppressed and is also a person who yearns for freedom and perfection. Such people, as long as they have a little regret, will have psychological changes, which is also a preset for Yu Jiaolong to finally jump off the cliff. A person's personality determines where he belongs.

At the same time, this film combines many western elements, and it is also a combination of traditional Confucian concepts and secular society. In this context, Yu Jiaolong is actually in a cage built by himself. This cage has been flickering in the film, affecting Yu Jiaolong's behavior and final outcome. In fact, everyone in the film is guarding a certain bottom line, and this bottom line is actually a cage!

Finally, I want to tell you that the reason why Yu Jiaolong finally jumped off the cliff is actually related to a dialogue, that is, the dialogue between Yu Jiaolong and Yu Xiulian. During the conversation, Yu Xiulian said: This is what a woman should abide by all her life! It was these words that gave Yu Jiaolong the final decision!
