two questions

The beauty of "repression" should be regarded as a kind of symbolic label of Ang Lee's films. He combined the 18th century British etiquette with the subtlety of the oriental people to express "people who are blinded by appearances, those who recognize the essence, and those who recognize the fate after realizing the essence". Only there is no modern society [people who choose to go their own way after recognizing the essence]. Is this an improvement or a regression?

Of course, mariana's eventual marriage to Brandon was an epitome of sanity, but I couldn't convince myself that there was love in it. We can see compromise, gratitude, maybe dependence, but not love. This seemed like a wise choice in 18th-century England. In today's China in the 21st century, I wonder if such a choice can be considered wise?
