The joys, sorrows and sorrows of a middle-class family have long been taken away by the mainstream of emotion, and the relationship between people and the subtle feelings between family members also make us as movie watchers feel a little embarrassed.
The same kind of catastrophe broke out in the diatribe of "Watergate" and the defeat of the "Vietnam War", of course not referring to the one-sided "ice storm" of this topic. This kind of catastrophe is a crack in the soul, including deception, affair, fledgling adolescence Sexual contact, play tricks on friends who hurt him, premature ejaculation in the couple's sex life, jealousy, indifference, etc. When parents see their children naked and playing with other children, they can't educate them, just because they are in other people's rooms as a pure sexual relationship. It's ridiculous to pretend to be righteous and Ling Ran to cover up one's own modesty, and treat others as pure Zhou Zhou to play with.
This time, Ang Lee did not use the special marginalized people like "Brokeback Mountain" and "Lust and Caution" as the theme, because it is too easy to create the image of a marginalized person. It is not an exaggeration to make him anything. You can find an excuse for yourself to say that the minority in society should always have some people with their own characteristics. The writing and ambition of this time are almost inseparable from the aspect of Ang Lee's choice of story objects. Most middle-class families are like this. They are neither nobles nor those luxurious high-quality interpersonal circles. There is no shrewd mind to maintain all kinds of relationships and balances, and there are just gossip neighbors and square TVs.
Of course, Director Ang Lee deliberately chose the United States probably because Americans are better at grasping their nature, because Chinese families are too good at pretending, they always package themselves as the model of harmony in the No. People can't tell the difference.
I have to say that Ang Lee's technique and vision are really too thunderous. When it comes to tactics, the main lines of the entire film are divided into three: the couple's affair, the daughter's wandering between the two sons in the neighbor's house, the son's troubles, and the means of revenge. The three main lines go hand in hand and none of them are inferior, and it is impossible to see the positive impact of age differences on troubles. In the film, the director of the big concept of ice storm basically did not spend a lot of money on special effects to create the effect of a disaster film, but put such a big definition on the head of the middle class, the metaphor is self-evident. When it comes to vision, the cast must have class hype as the main selling point today. It is the protagonist of "Spider-Man" and the protagonist of "Lord of the Rings". Of course, in 1997, they were not popular, and it was Li Anhuiyan. Know the hero.
After so much chatter, I feel that this is the second movie that uses the mainline parallel method to bring great joy after I watched "Victoria 1". Not to mention the fact that Li An deliberately and unintentionally pretended to be coercive, but the first emotional touch he brought to people was definitely very big.
