Ang Lee - The Art of Saying Goodbye

[@Courier12]

Ang Lee spent 6 years at home as a stay-home dad before Pushing Hands, and he is forever grateful to his wife who supported him all the way. So, if you want to become a filmmaker, please always show gratitudes to the ones around you that support your decision. 👍

[@joseluisbarreda9871]

you need to be grateful to the ones surrounding you anytime. Gratitude is one of the most touching feelings. Thanks for this essay. It let me shocked by his beauty.

Wife was a hostess in NY chinatown for 6 yrs enable to support him.

Ang Lee is the greatest director of this century. Why? Many famous directors specialize in specific genres, but Ang Lee directs films with very different stories and styles-he can handle any type of film. Moreover, as an Asian director, he can create English-language films so brilliantly without any sense of barrier, which is something truly extraordinary. The depth of thought reflected in his movies is remarkable. He is my favorite director, without a doubt.

[@edwardyang8254]

It seems to me that Ang Lee is someone who genuinely enjoy learning about stories and retelling them.

[@roastingpotato]

I never understood why people disliked the hulk movie so much... I thought it was touching

[@Kathy-22]

Ang Lee makes one more Ancient Chinese martial art movie like Crouching tiger hidden dragon. It was mesmerizing and spectacular

[@Namgildaero1980]

Thank you 🙏 for sharing Kathy

This is a great video about Ang Lee's movies and styles. Thank you. It make me as emotional as watching a great movie

[@Courier12]

Thanks for your support and kind words! Indeed his movies are very emotional and I'm glad you liked the video as well.

[@minhphuongphan7287]

Honestly, I was about to cry at the end of your video when you analyse the art of goodbye in his movies. It reminds me of my sweet loves who far away me :)) Thank you for replying my comment

[@kt81379]

dude, the intro is way too amazing. great work!

[@kt81379]

Ang Lee is incredibly good at telling stories, or I say, providing all of the little details and character's emotions. It's like, he can make the fantasy comes true. That's why the recipe work really well with Tiger Dragon, Life of Pi, Lust Caution,... The story were extremely well driven on these. On the other side, It does not always work. Like Hulk, that people come expect for an action-packed movie; or Billy Lynn, that the audience expected about an action-realistic war drama, just like American Sniper. Tsui Hark makes a great example for this. The action scenes in his movie are really entertained to me, but like the opposite side of Ang Lee, his movie's characters aren't so special. Don't get me wrong, Ang Lee could make great action scenes, for sure. All of the fighting scenes in Tiger Dragon are my all time favorite, and I think they do fit well in a Wuxia 武俠 movie. Western-style action-packed movie? not so much. Wish he can just make another wuxia movie, I like his wuxia-romantic style so much though.

[@Courier12]

Thanks, that's some great analysis! Looks like you are one big fan of Ang Lee!😁

[@kt81379]

Say, I prefer Zhang & Lee's movies better for entertaining, but if I'm in the mood, Wong Kar-Wai movies are so damn great. Laugh at me, but my most favorite Chinese's film is A Chinese Odyssey (2 parts -1995), I've re-watched it like 5 times already lol.

[@brucewayne000]

Agreed!!

[@twocentscinema8587]

Love these videos you put out. Ang Lee and Wong Kar Wai are two of my favorite directors working today.

[@Courier12]

Thanks for your support - I'm also planning to do more and lesser known Chinese directors, and maybe even actor/actresses. Stay tuned!

[@flyingzone356]

Me too.

[@jadeimingan184]

Which that hulk 2 was released, Ang Lee's take on the hulk is comic accurate along with the origin as well being almost and he had given hulk so much depth in character.

[@vicj2141]

Well done. Thought provoking about themes of life and how they can be skillfully portrayed to see our shared humanity in worlds different from our own.

[@zhao2000yuan]

Thanks for such a insightful sharing. "Hulk" together with "Dark Knight" are my favorite superhero movies as they contain the weakness, anguish and misgivings in the development of their characters. Ang once said he was always fascinated with the losing party. Thanks to his sympathy and his courage to depict them, we have a chance to get close to the otherwise unvoiced.

[@mimisworlda]

love how the transitions. Love Li An, thank you!

[@acdragonrider]

Wow these are great. Would love to see more on other filmmakers from famous ones to lesser well known ones. Filmmakers from all over the world

[@jolee5608]

Ang Lee is awesome and extraordinary.☺️ Humble and has sense of humor.I just watched crouching tiger today.Yes, after 20years.And it was awesome.Definitely,one of the greatest director in history.

[@Joaza998]

Hi, I watched this video in my first year of University doing Marine Biology. Now, I'm watching this in my final year of Film Studies. I appreciated the structure of this video that helped me inspire how to look at Chinese films. I hope you make more in the future.

[@Courier12]

I'm glad it's helpful!

[@marianapiedade7276]

Both the edition and the analysis about Ang Lee's production were very well done. Congratulations for your great work! I have just subscribed to your channel.

[@keithdonovan5236]

Thanks so much for this thoughtful, well researched study of this great artist.

[@Courier12]

You are welcome! I've been busy with school, but I'll try to make new ones about more Asian film artists soon!

[@jiejacky4895]

you did a great video and the analysis of the perspective is very great

[@Courier12]

Thanks Jacky !

[@superrmrcool]

so really what is the big difference between Ang Lee's HULK and Sam Raimi's Spider-man?? going on what you stated.. "Ang LEe's version was too slow paced. while people expect the majority, pumped up action content., it didn't have an action scene until 40 minutes in. however comparing it to the later reboot in 2008, or the one in Avengers, Ang Lee's HULK shows more character depth as he explores the anguish of having power that he did not seek or desire"

[@yu-wenying8491]

Wouldn't it be wonderful if Director Ang Lee adapted The dream of the red chamber to the screen?!!?

[@bulganmunkhjargal220]

i still have a hardtime to acknowedge that Crouching tiger, Brokeback mountain and Sense and sensibility are all created by same director. like how though.... just amazing

The only Asian director to win an Oscar, that is until Parasite came out

Just had another Asia director won an Oscar yesterday.

[@scifinerd17]

@@donnasun7586 Yup, Chloé Zhao’s the third Asian director to win, the first Chinese director to win, the second woman director to win after Kathryn Bigelow, and the first woman who’s a person of color to win as well.

I take picture of ang lee

[@realmofthesenses]

I don't get why you mention the 18th century novel 'Dream of the Red Chamber" in relation to Ang Lee. Is it about the American opera in 2017? Is Ang Lee working on a film based on the novel?

[@Courier12]

Hello! I mentioned as a comparison, imagine the level of difficulty there is if a western director is making a movie based on classic Chinese novel. Ang Lee was making movie based on classic English material, he's so amazing.
