      Who is the devil and who rides with

      It's just that I can't write a short review, it's not a movie review. The title is something I haven't figured out yet after reading it. Saying "everyone is" is lazy.

      Some full shots make people feel that the director really has an imperceptible warmth. The play next to the campfire is brilliantly lit and reminiscent of a Rembrandt painting. BGM is as high as ever. Jake burst into tears when he read the letter to Holt. After Holt asked "You know my full name?" they were no longer...

      inner war

      I like this movie very much. Although the war and the cruelty of human nature in the middle made me unbearable to watch it, Uncle An described the American Civil War from a rare southern perspective and the perspective of two outsiders. After watching the whole movie, I feel that no matter whether the South or the North, people have no victory in the face of war. Later, all I feel is confusion and confusion. Who are you fighting for? Why World War II, the reasons are becoming more and more...

      Let go of hatred and be free

      It's a wonderful film that deserves to be re-savoured again and again. Ang Lee will never disappoint.

      Although this film is not like an ordinary war film, the enemy and the enemy are clearly fierce and shocking. Maybe it was coldly received in the United States because of this, but it is precisely the greatness of this film. Ang Lee does not want to use sensational plots and shocking audio-visual stimulation. The result of the audience will only increase the hostility of the society,...

      On Ang Lee's "Ride with the Devil"

      When a war is happening around us, both sides of the war hold different positions and different political views, and infiltrate and spread among our relatives, friends, and neighbors. At this point, you must consider choosing one of the sides and choose to draw the line! Because I don't know when, some people began to be killed inexplicably! Maybe it was just inadvertently expressing different opinions incorrectly, or maybe it was accidentally the object of venting on both sides. Judging from...

      Falling in front of theatre traditions

      Ang Lee's movie characters have a sense of displacement like his own. The rich content of a Civil War movie should have caused a lot of discussion. Unfortunately, the Civil War under the mainstream values ​​should be "the justice of the north liberates the black slaves" like this It's a cliché, and most people think that the North is just right even if it has shortcomings. It is unfortunate that this film with sufficient historical research came out.

      According to Ang Lee's oral...

      Ang Lee's Civil War. The last scene saw tears, youth and friendship in the fire, this is probably the time and people that will be missed for decades in life in the future. The first half was a bit difficult for me who didn't know the modern history of the United States. The names of places, cities, and people that kept popping up were forgotten at a glance, which led to a bit of boredom. It wasn't until about 20 minutes later that the massacre that broke out suddenly woke me up, and then I...

      A rare Civil War film from the perspective of the Confederate Army, it focuses more on the depiction of individuals in the war, and is full of tenderness in cruelty. Daniel said that he loved George very much, but at the moment of George's death, he felt real freedom. In other words, do everything in...

      10/03/06 The American Civil War shot by Ang Lee is of course not a war movie, not an epic movie. It's a boy's growth. It's a good life to live in the East. I saw a sweet and warm picture - breastfeeding a child is very Ang...

    Casting background

    Initially, Leonardo DiCaprio was interested in the role of Jack in the film, but he had just finished filming "Titanic" and went to France to film "The Man in the Iron Mask". Tire Rong, coupled with the continuous shooting of two costume films, he was also worried that continuing to play the film would be finalized, so Ang Lee later chose Tobey Maguire, who had collaborated in "Ice Storm". Ang Lee believes that although Toby is not...
