A few words to Ang Lee

It focuses on people who are contrary to the mainstream ideology of a particular era or are ignored by the mainstream narrative. This group of people has conflicts with the society at that time, in terms of identity, values, or historical direction judgments. Such conflicts between individuals and the times make us more naturally concerned about the more ordinary and essential personal, true, vivid, subtle, complex, and contradictory emotions and ethics they are trying to express. It portrays a person, a person in a difficult situation and a tension. The so-called background of the times is the foil here. This is the characteristic of Lee Ang's film and the standard for its selection of scripts.
Even though this is always the case, Ang Lee is changing in the handling of the movie's results. Based on the accumulation of life or repeated introspection?
At this time, Li Ang's performance was still more peaceful and warm, or still more optimistic, even more "hypocritical" and unfree, including the previous "Sense and Emotion" and "Ice Storm." However, the subsequent "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Brokeback Mountain", and "Lust Caution" created more conflicts and environmental oppression. I can feel that he is constantly persecuting himself, placing himself in a more cruel reality, making hypocrisy invisible. "Mensao" will always break out, and power must always be released.
As his experience grows, he may change.

    Don't fight, you will be afraid, and you will have to slap. There are many characters, loose relationships, and the lack of contradictions outside the shootout makes the rhythm long, and the ending turns a little weird. Ang Lee is afraid of choosing one or the other in a chaotic world. @2017-04-26 18:44:41

    Scoring Li Ang’s movies is one of the things that entangles me the most; Teacher Li Ang is very, very delicate, and very, very warm...
