Ride with the Devil evaluation action

The film maintains Ang Lee's usual steady and slow style, and tells a story that took place during the American Civil War with a delicate and smooth expression. The setting of the scene and the background of the times make this movie look magnificent and majestic compared to his previous films   .
The film is bold enough to show scenes and stories from the Civil War. Director Ang Lee focuses on depicting the entanglements between emotions. The film has paid great attention to the setting and language, and its level of detail is no less than that of "Rationality and Sensibility." The film is subtle, this subtlety makes it normal, and the plot is also easy to accept. However, the film lacks the obvious preaching elements that it should have. The emphasis is on emotional entanglements and the character transformation of the characters. It can be said that it is the history of a person's growth in a war environment. "Ride with the Devil" is not considered a successful work, and its original sharp edge was also obscured by the later "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". However, "Ride with the Devil" has far-reaching implications for Ang Lee and for the development of American cinema as a whole. This is Ang Lee's boldest attempt. Criticism of the political system and cold-eyed analysis of American history are far more sharp and acrimonious than shooting a love story with homosexuality as a gimmick   .

    Ang Lee's skills are really solid.

    The preview of "Billy Lynn" is quite good, but I can't give it any more high marks. I like the descriptions of families, but I have to admit that Ang Lee is actually using an oriental perspective to deal with some of the most important things in the Civil War. Subtle details, I can understand this family relationship, but I don't think Westerners can understand this Eastern perspective too. Like John Woo, Ang Lee's identity makes him a unique and dangerous perspective on war. As an outsider, it is best for him not to touch the sensitive genre of war movies in the future.

Ride with the Devil quotes

  • [Mr. Evans, a Confederate sympathizer, has Jack Bull and Jake as guests]

    Jack Bull: Are you saying, sir, that we fight for nothing?

    Evans: Far from it, Mr. Chiles. You fight for everything that we ever had... as did my son. It's just that... we don't have it anymore.

  • [Camping out, Jack Bull Chiles and Jake Roedel discuss Jake's finger, which was shot off in a skirmish]

    Jack Bull: My father's under the dirt to stay. Like that's gone to stay, too.

    Jake: My finger?

    Jack Bull: Mmm-hmm.

    Jake: Well, so it is. And it makes me notable by the loss.

    Jack Bull: You sound pleased... as if that finger'd been pesterin' you for rings.

    Jake: No. It was a fine finger and I'd rather have it still, but... it was took from me and it's been et by chickens for sure. And I say, what is the good side to this amputation? And there is one.
