    Worse than similar "middle-aged crisis" films, foreigners are also very good at making their own Western culture "hesitating" and "dull". It can be seen that Ang Lee secretly exerted a lot of "oriental energy" in the filming of it, but the effect is strange, Ang Lee, you have made the Chinese philosophy into a family trilogy. Beauty...

    At the end, I couldn't help but read the narration at the beginning. The keys party turned out to be a wife-swapping club. There was no way to solve the mid-life crisis of wealthy families, so all kinds of excitement were found, and the family was...

    Slightly dull, but the plot is good and the shooting ability is...

    With subtle, wry stroke, poet Lee interprets sexual tension & family crisis of US mid-class on an icy canvass of emptieness. Culturally speaking, not expectedly contagious as...

    For families, it is easy to get bored, people are always impatient, and they like the new and hate the old. Only when you really taste the horror of loss can you realize how lucky and happy you...

    The angular western faces, coupled with the pure oriental background music that flows from time to time, can be so harmonious. The little girl turned out to be that fleshy sexy girl in Buffalo. I said, why is she so...

    Everything that is kept secret is like ice hanging upside down on the branches, which will soon melt and disappear. But the freezing cold they once left the trees will never be forgotten. All the characters are floating, floating to the brink of...

    Very comfortable. . There's a bit of a Chinese vibe to it. . . It's just that I'm thinking that two hours is too short to use a movie to show all the contradictory accumulation and planning. However, it has to be said that the director has achieved logical coherence. The mise-en-scene also has a high degree of integrity and continuity. very...

    It can be placed in the [Good Movies that are easy to overlook] bean list of Yingzhi classmates. With the blessing of James' script and the foundation of Ang Lee's academic school, it is no less than "American Beauty" in terms of details and completion, although it is defeated. There are a few scenes that are really amazing, such as the girl with her head in the boy's crotch, and the "Molecular Boys" carnival in the snow-ridden night. The cutest are the two children, "Bombboy" and "Bicycle...

    It is not an easy task to avoid going astray in the journey of life. It's like someone is always opening the door to another world. If you're not careful, you might walk in and die. That's why in your dreams you are standing at the door, dying people, born people passing by you. When they come in and out of this world at night, they let you revisit your life again and again. You get dizzy and it takes a long time. Just found the way back to the original...

    "Ice Storm": A Revelation of the Fate of Modern Families

    While watching Lee Ang's biography "Ten Years A Dream of Movies", while regaining the works of this great Chinese director. From "The Wedding Banquet" all the way to "Ice Storm", I put it down. It took a day before I had the energy to finish it.

    In Li Ang's words, "Ice Storm" is his start again. If...

    'Icestorm': A 'very Kundera' film

    I don't know why, I felt "very Kundera" after watching "Ice Storm", of course, this is also a momentary feeling. If you force the connection, you may be able to find some evidence in "Ten Years of Sleeping Movie Dreams". For example, when Ang Lee talked about "Diet Men and Women", when he talked...
