Just before 2017, Lee Ang's main achievements. Ang Lee's name was only known after I watched the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Li Ang and Zhang Yimou are directors of the same era. Compared to Zhang Yimou, Li Ang's fame seems a bit late. However, there is an old saying in China called the late bloomers, and Li Ang should be considered to be such a person. Ang Lee's film career only improved slightly in the late 1990s. The first real film he made was the film "Pushing Hands" which started in 1990 and released in 1992. This movie was a script he created himself, and then started shooting after he was awarded 400,000 yuan. After this film, his director career began to slowly rise.
His first film to win an international award was "Wedding Banquet" in 1993. This film won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival and the Best Director Award at the Seattle Film Festival. This film is also an Oscar-nominated best foreign language film. This film mainly tells a comedy about the cultural gap and differences in the life of Taiwanese in New York. Those who are interested can take a look.
Lee Ang's career as a director has just achieved a little success. However, after he spent US$150 million to film "Hulk" in 2003, he had the idea of easing the shadow because of the trouble and exhaustion that the film brought to him, but in the end he survived. Otherwise, we will no longer be able to enjoy so many good movies. If you don't experience the wind and rain, you can see the rainbow. The wind and rain made Li Ang stronger. In 2005, he successfully reached the pinnacle of his director career with the film "Brokeback Mountain". With this film he won the 78th Oscar for Best Director. However, in 2007, he touched China's restricted zone. The filming of the film "Lust Caution" aroused strong doubts in China at that time. This film became a banned film, and the heroine Tang Wei was banned for this reason. However, in 2012 Ang Lee won the recognition of the Chinese again with "The Fantasy Drifting of the Youth Pie", and once again won the Oscar for Best Director. Director Ang Lee has also filmed many martial arts films, and these martial arts films are slightly better than those of the same type. Ang Lee has his own unique view of martial arts. He once said that heroes are also particular about temperament, and so are Western heroes. They don't draw their guns at the sight of others. Chinese Peking Opera also talks about this, right? Somersault in the biggest action room in martial arts. Guan Gong just doesn't turn around, he has a style, he is elegant. Looking at the portrait of Guan Gong, he didn't say that he was cutting with a knife with his eyes open. He must be reading "Spring and Autumn." Because of his unique perspective and different forms of expression, his films are very outstanding, so he rarely misses the film.
