Tragedy is the destruction of good things for others to see

The tumultuous and ignorant adolescence, the irritable and insecure mid-life crisis, the desire is frozen in the daily life.

The seemingly stable family structure was actually riddled with cracks, and finally split and separated on a certain ice storm night, and became an independent body again.

The rupture of a relationship is like skin. But it's not a heart-piercing pain, and it can't be solved with tears. It's just a heavy heart when people see it. The death of the young man in the end made this sense of rupture even more tragic.

Ang Lee's "Ice Storm" reminds me of "Revolutionary Road".

    Ang Lee's filming of this kind of family ethics film is really peculiar to philosophy. There are many obscure things. Different will experience different things. Ang Lee may be a person with spiritual cleanliness.

    I am convinced of Ang Lee's ability to discover actors

The Ice Storm quotes

  • Ben Hood: Well, that's the whole point of the holidays, Paul. So you and your sister can mope around the house, and your mother and I can wait on your hand and foot, while the two of you occasionally grunt for more food from behind the hair in your faces. Believe it or not, we actually enjoy it.

  • Paul Hood: When you think about it, it's not easy to keep from just wandering out of life. It's like someone's always leaving the door open to the next world, and if you aren't paying attention you could just walk through it, and then you've died. That's why in your dreams it's like you're standing in that doorway... and the dying people and the newborn people pass by you... and brush up against you as they come in and out of the world during the night. You get spun around, and in the morning... it takes a while to find your way back into the world.
