2021-12-22 08:01
This ordinary family could have lived peacefully, but the tide of the times pushed them to the brink of chaos. The ordinary and boring family life bored middle-aged couples. Husband Ben Hood had been seducing neighbor Janet Harper, and the wife had become impatient with her husband’s lies. She and a pair of children accidentally witnessed the husband and daughter. The scene of neighbors embarrassing, an emotional storm between husband and wife is about to erupt.
On a stormy night, the couple went to a cocktail party at a friend's house. An important part of the cocktail party was the game of changing the keys to the house. In this way, after the reception, every wife can form a new sexual partner with other men. This was a popular game in that era. On the one hand, the husband and wife were unable to resist the trend, and on the other hand, they could not accept such a ridiculously enjoyable life. Both of them became other people's sexual partners, but they eventually returned together.
Ben's daughter and son are also insecure. The daughter is intoxicated in sex games with the boy next door, and the son is seduced by the sexy rich girl. Just when everyone in the town was excited by the absurd game, a snowstorm that was rare in 30 years struck. The boy next door died of an electric shock caused by the snowstorm, and the couple and neighbors received retribution as if they were sent from the sky.
Fortunately, the son returned safely, and the family of four reunited again, but the shock brought to them by this snowy night is far from being calmed down   .

    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.

The Ice Storm quotes

  • 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.

  • [Mikey rides up behind Wendy]

    Mikey Carver: I don't ever want to see you.

    Wendy Hood: Then why did you come after me?

    [Mikey stops, turns his bike around and rides off]
