Boy, the turmoil and depression of his youth is a dangerous knife that can stab others and himself at any time;
man, his suppressed desire for freedom and desire is a knife that can easily cut through a dozen or so with a single twist. The welding gun for the monolithic family of years.
Girl, her naive but complex, loving but cruel heart is a fuse that burns silently, not knowing what to detonate at any time, a
woman, the most sympathetic family animal in the world, is a colander, Always salvaging, always getting nothing.
A passive family is still like this, just a match will burn, not to mention those courtyards full of red apricots.
This is Ang Lee's best film, he educates us, family, it's a safe haven, but you have to keep yourself from going mad at all times.
