Ang Lee's lens is very delicate and can withstand scrutiny, quite a complete restoration of the American society in the 1970s.

Three-and-a-half-stars, the United States in the 1970s is the background, the set (books and TV props) dialogues all point to that era, the "sexual liberation" movement, the Vietnam War, the Watergate scandal, Nixon, the wife swap club, etc. Ang Lee inserted them into this era. As a metaphorical story, "Ice Storm" is full of grief and sadness, but the dialogue between parents and children in the family is a bit oriental. The ice appeared several times, and finally spread between heaven and earth, causing death. ——Interestingly, a year later, "American Beauty" appeared, and it took it a step further.

Mikey Carver: Because of molecules we are connected to the outside world from our bodies. Like when you smell things, because when you smell a smell it's not really a smell, it's a part of the object that has come off of it, molecules. So when you smell something bad, it's like in a way you're eating it. This is why you should not really smell things, in the same way that you don't eat everything in the world around you because as a smell, it gets inside of you. So the next time you go into the bathroom after someone else has been there, remember what kinds of molecules you are in fact eating.
