    A little rough, very Ang Lee. Western skin, Eastern meat. The more people who study movies, the more they like this film. At that time, the narrative and audio-visual language were not as skilled and stable as they were later. Cold and rigid go hand in hand, but the scenery of the ice storm was extremely beautiful. Like what happened one night, only the people involved left scars in their hearts. 20110112@China Film...

    In "Ice Storm", Ang Lee uses the combination of Eastern and Western expressions and audio-visual language to highly deconstruct family conflicts and conflicts in American society. In a small setting, it is a multi-line group portrait of the American middle-class society. Using a lyrical symbolic metaphor such as the ice storm to imply three simultaneous destructions of people in different places, as well as the mutual distrust and emotional alienation of people under the surface of modern...

    I don’t really understand this kind of family ethics drama. It’s about children’s sexual enlightenment, about the estrangement between parents, broken family, little three intervening, and wife-swapping parties. Anyway, as a Taiwanese Chinese, Ang Lee can restore the story of the 1970s in the United States. To be so exquisite, it is...

    Everyone is walking alone on the way forward. This is both a helpless and a relief. The fruit of loneliness is destined to be tasted alone. Just don't worry, don't be afraid, because there will always be a gentle embrace by your side waiting for you at the right distance. look...

    It is another absurd story of a middle-class family in a developed country, a cheating family that has lost its moral bottom line and is not upright and crooked. The film has always been a cool tone, and the director, as a cold-eyed bystander, examines the chronic diseases of the capitalist family, the slow-paced foreshadowing, and the tepid conflicts, which make the characters in the film suffer the consequences. Overall a little mediocre,...

    Conservatism does not only grow in the East, people also face the situation of resting on their laurels in the developed capitalist Western world. Ang Lee made "Eyes-Opening" with his well-versed conservatism and completed its historic transcendence. In this sharp and underrated masterpiece, he cooked the love food he really wanted. An unstoppable "Ice Storm" blowing into everyone's heart quietly passed through the night, and the world changed...

    The tone of the film is depressing, the narrative is gentle and delicate, the characters are many but full and full, and the layers of contradictions and conflicts are well laid out. Favorite 3 scenes: the dialogue between the father and the son in the car, the father takes his daughter home, and the snowy night (the climax of the whole play). I'll have to watch the Blizzard Night part later, the narrative is excellent. Because of my resistance to cold and closed emotions, unfamiliar historical...

    4.5, Ang Lee is the strongest, extremely cold and biting. It depicts the complete collapse of the traditional American family and also reflects the collapse of the overall order of American society in the 1970s. Touching the cultural spirit from the traditional East to the modern West, Ang Lee's cross-cultural author attributes and expressive precision are...

    ice storm after carnival

    85 points, the background of the story is 1973, a more "embarrassing" year in American history. The oil crisis was experienced economically, and the "Watergate Incident" occurred politically, which led to the collapse of the government's "patriarchal image". The film depicts almost an "anarchy" in...

    Slower and stronger

    I watched the ice storm on New Year's Eve. After reading it, I took out the biography of Ang Lee, reopened the dozen pages of narration in Ice Storm, and read it again carefully.
    I was reading something before. It said: I found the strength in my heart, so that I can witness the misfortune and be...

The Ice Storm quotes

  • Mikey Carver: Because of molecules we are connected to the outside world from our bodies. Like when you smell things, because when you smell a smell it's not really a smell, it's a part of the object that has come off of it, molecules. So when you smell something bad, it's like in a way you're eating it. This is why you should not really smell things, in the same way that you don't eat everything in the world around you because as a smell, it gets inside of you. So the next time you go into the bathroom after someone else has been there, remember what kinds of molecules you are in fact eating.
