The long foreshadowing and details in the front are all the shadow of Ang Lee. From the key party, it entered a climax, and it was even more depressing. In the end, Ben was in the car with the family, leaning on the steering wheel and crying, so sad and wanting to be scolded by others, and thinking about it again, who is not? The BGM composed of the whimpering Chinese wind flute is very suitable for the atmosphere of the movie, and it makes people feel even more heavy and breathless. It is more than a revelation of the modern family. Human nature, gender, adults and minors, parents and children, families... There are too many. There is a little more fear about "starting a family and starting a business", but I understand the truth of letting nature take its course. I don't know the background of this film, that is, the United States in the 1970s, and I only understand it after reading other people's film reviews. Then I remembered the sentence "Spicy Hands", just like this sentence, Ang Lee has always been spicy, but he always uses the restraint of a bystander to make movies, which is a bit like "Iceberg Theory", It's also a bit like the feeling I felt when I watched "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" yesterday, indescribable, I don't know what to say.

    Who told me that this is a disaster movie, family ethics movie Ahundan! (Probably just my memory is wrong) I was so daring to change my wife PLAY, but I was so depressed by the good art filmed by Director Li. I can’t like this kind of movie~

    Ang Lee's filming of this kind of family ethics film is really peculiar to philosophy. There are many obscure things. Different will experience different things. Ang Lee may be a person with spiritual cleanliness.

The Ice Storm quotes

  • Paul Hood: Your family is the void you emerge from, and the place you return to when you die. And that's the paradox: The closer you're drawn back in, the deeper into the void you go.

  • Janey Carver: [caught his youngest son Sandy playing with explosives] Sandy! You idiotic little dope! You could blow yourself fucking sky high with this demented crap!
