Americans must have been uncomfortable in the 1970s and 1980s. But in my opinion, Ang Lee still used the camera to make metaphors too much, and I couldn't understand some of the esoteric ones. Even the profound implication of the accidental death of the child at the end didn't give me much appeal. However, in Ang Lee's autobiography, he was deeply impressed by the description of how he controlled Western culture (writing this script). A Chinese director can learn and comprehend the humanities of other countries in such depth, and is highly recognized by the local people. Best Picture at Cannes that year. The journey is difficult, it is not easy!
