Li Ang, can be said to be one of the first group of big-name directors in the Chinese circle to go global. He seems to have a lot of aperture blessings on his body. However, from some talk show dialogues, we have to admit that he is actually a gentleman, A modest and prudent person, I think it is because of this that he can gain a foothold in Hollywood.
Although he has won numerous awards, but the final weight should be the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Award for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and the Oscar for Best Director Award for "Brokeback Mountain" and "Fantastic Drifting of the Boy Pie" respectively. This makes him Ranked among the top directors in the world.

"Gemini Killer" can be said to be an attempt by Ang Lee, 120 frames plus 4K plus 3D immersive viewing technology is his insistence, in order to improve the entire film The top audiovisual experience brought to the audience by the movie, as well as the real-life CG technology, all reflect the challenge of Ang Lee in bringing modern top technology into the film industry. This is his belief. He once said: "I just With the Oscar, if I didn't do it at that time, no one would do it. Various reasons will make you feel that only you can do it. This is a sense of mission."
Ang Lee’s sense of mission was actually as early as 2012 in the movie "The Fantastic Drifting of the Youth Pie", we can get a glimpse of one or two. The 3D effect may not be the best in all movies, but the effect presented is certain. Is the top level.

's expectations and disappointments for Ang Lee
As an outsider, it’s hard to know why Ang Lee’s "Gemini Killer" was so disappointing. In fact, preparations for this movie began in 1997, and it experienced casting and technology in the middle. After waiting for some problems, it was Ang Lee and Will Smith who finally took over, which indirectly contributed to the mediocre plot setting of this movie. In
, Ang Lee’s description of "father-son love" in the movie is still brilliant, and Will Smith’s performance is also very good. The live-action CG and action effects are quite brilliant. This may be what he cares about the movie most. Maybe When he took over the movie, Ang Lee was just to complete a project, so he didn't add too much personal understanding and modification to the plot.
In fact, if the film is changed to another director, perhaps everyone's disappointment will not be so great. If you forget Ang Lee's personal influence when watching this film, you may not have so many problems.
Although this movie is not satisfactory, I still support Ang Lee and want to continue watching him tell us stories from my own perspective.
