Ang Lee's "Hulk" is the most thoughtful movie adapted from comics in the early 21st century. It is not so much a story about a green behemoth, as it is about two injured, extremely self-centered older children.
The issues involved in the film include genetic experiments, misuse of scientific research, and our instinctive love for inappropriate things. Not only are they involved, they are also discussed. Ang Lee is concerned about the various issues involved in the story of the Hulk, not just some brainless special effects.
The Hulk is the least successful part of the film. It's not bad in close-ups, but in the distant shots, he seems a bit clumsy. The large-scale action scenes in the film are insignificant compared to the core dramatic scenes of the film-the relationship between the two pairs of father and son.
The film is very elegant visually. After the failure of countless directors, Ang Lee still successfully used the technique of dividing the screen. Usually splitting the screen will only increase the viewer's annoyance, but in this film, he uses moving frame lines and picture-in-picture to simulate the narrative techniques commonly used in comic books. In some shots, the foreground and the background remind each other, which is amazing. (by)
Ang Lee used all kinds of visual impact techniques to increase the visual appeal of the superhero "Hulk" and blended romance and tragedy into it. According to the intentions of the original authors Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the film highlights the powerful destructive power of the "Hulk" and reflects the crisis in the real world. Director Ang Lee portrays a character who is fighting against himself and the world. He is both a superhero and a giant monster, depicting people's beautiful wishes and nightmarish situations. ()
