What kind of director is Ang Lee?

Uncle Ang is a very visceral director, super to my taste.

The first time I met him was when I saw his film "The Boys", which I had only heard of at the time. I was mesmerized by Teen Pie, with gorgeous images, profound content, and a conclusion full of deep meaning, all of which made it unforgettable. The movie is of high caliber, but it also has a lot of emotion, and there are very few Chinese directors who can match it.

Later, with the North Post account, it opened the door to friendship with Ang Lee. First in the students recommended to watch the father trilogy, "Push Hands", "Happy Banquet", "food and color", full of oriental culture and charm, can not help but shouting.

"Pushing Hands" is a picture of contrast in the beginning, the father-in-law and foreign daughter-in-law each busy with their own, can get along well? Obviously not! The huge difference in culture is like an insurmountable chasm between the two, and it takes the son out of the picture. The son secretly fixes him up with an older woman, but he leaves home determinedly when he feels his self-esteem has been hurt, which says something about the connotations of culture. The traditional Chinese culture, I'm sure, is the four generations in the same house, but is this possible, leaving one with deep thoughts.

The Wedding Banquet is even more of a strong impact on traditional culture. Pleasant Banquet is still talking about the mindset of the elders and the younger generation. I'm sure even today, parents don't agree with their children's choice of same-sex marriage. This leads to a series of ludicrous stories, including the irrationality of the wedding room, and even Ang Lee's personal cameo as a passerby: this is the 5,000 years of sexual repression in Chinese culture. What it says speaks for itself, and it's profoundly cultural.

Finally, the critically acclaimed "Food and Color" also reflects ethical family issues, deeper human issues, and more profoundly, Chinese cultural issues. Each of the three daughters chooses a different life, very different from their father's, and in the end, the father chooses a classmate of his eldest daughter, who is more than thirty years younger than him, as his life partner, and the ending is saddening.

The three films reflect the family aspect of Chinese culture, what is family and how to build a harmonious family, all of which are thought-provoking. It can be said that Uncle An can always point to the depth of the problem, especially the connotation of Chinese culture to show, and leave the audience with a lot of space to think, really make me like.
