Ice Storm is the freezing rain
that situation this year when the ice storm of
rain landing into ice
everywhere covered with ice Rumi sub-
way stand unstable
poles drained cut off high-voltage
end of the film a little boy, is one such electrical killed

story novel by
saying that the United States early 1970s
Vietnam War defeat, hippie movement, the United States after the Watergate
world's first military power from the Vietnam defeat beat a hasty retreat
to bring a wave of sexual liberation movement hippy
president admitted lying to citizens
regardless of Watergate and shattered the image of the patriarchal symbol of the defeat of the Vietnam War
or the wave of the impact of various artistic culture of American society
have saved set in the early 1970s during such a cusp
so that ordinary citizens home lax moral values
like Ice Storm when the rain gradually began to freeze as
gradually discrete family cohesion

fact, under most circumstances people are and do not know how to live
human social needs a unified concept to bind
to calm
and this concept is not the time
people will go to re-explore
seek a new equilibrium

takes place in two ordinary American middle-class families among
parents of midlife crisis, marital problems become even more complex because of the time
parents still do not know how to handle
face the problem of children who happen even more helpless

parents wife-swapping party to participate in
that new era has come for new ideas
Trying new ways to solve problems
to go, but languishing
embarrassed ended
in a tired home ice storm hit the night
but found the bed aged 14 to 15 children are both lying in
the morning
but I received myself another child's death

this night storm aggregation of
all final collapse crushed
story has a good ending
when morning came
that survived still happy family
father broke down and
everything will reconstruct a balancing

this is the story of the United States of America throes of the United States in the past
they social development of the country in front of us
perhaps the problem also lies in front of us
to see them confused look
allows us to think of some of our current situation
of social development of the traditional heritage has not been very good
moral values and lax
simple worships money and values rampant
in many parts of the popular private school wear Chinese clothes from the Office of learning in the school craze
is actually the collective subconscious yearning for tradition
when the new rules has not been established
that people turn to traditional protection
However, the traditional already been let go for many years

    The story is unobtrusive, the photography art is praised

    The advantage is that the script is neat and tidy, and the deliberate conceptual conflict that Ang Lee is used to is discarded.

The Ice Storm quotes

  • Ben Hood: What's all that about? I mean, what the hell happened?

    Janey Carver: A prior engagement overcame me.

    Ben Hood: What?

    Janey Carver: Listen, Benjamin Hood, I have obligations that precede your... From before you showed up. I mean one or two good natured encounters, that doesn't mean that I'm... I'm not just some toy for you. When I remembered some chores I wanted to get done before the party, I just did them, that's all. Because I wanted them to get them done before I saw Jimmy.

    Ben Hood: Jimmy? Jimmy? I'm not sure how to take this. Wh-what do you mean Jimmy? I thought you and your husband had...

    Janey Carver: How you take it isn't that all that interesting to me, Benjamin. I'm sorry.

    Ben Hood: I just can't believe you could be so...

  • Ben Hood: [Janey hands drink to Ben] Thanks. You having one?

    Janey Carver: In a bit.

    Ben Hood: [he leans his head onto Janey] You know, I think Elena might suspect something. Maybe, it's all for the better, you know?

    [he starts unbuttoning his shirt]

    Ben Hood: Yesterday at dinner, she - Well, she didn't say anything. Has she acted funny to you? Have you noticed anything?

    [he takes his shirt off]

    Janey Carver: Have I noticed anything?

    Ben Hood: Mmm.

    Janey Carver: I'm not married to her, Benjamin. You are. I think you've probably a better vantage point from which to observe her.

    Ben Hood: Yeah, but... I've been working a lot lately and - No, that's not it. I... I guess maybe we're just on the verge of... saying something. Saying something to each other. On the verge.
