Others-Ang Lee is still a bad guy

Ever since he cunningly made Weiwei somehow become the surrogate mother of a pair of gay couples in "The Wedding Banquet", he has also forced her to give her a "happy for everyone" willingness, and at the end of "Diet for Men and Women", let him marry the young After the little girl’s old man withered the tree and picked up the twigs—I firmly believed that Ang Lee was a bad person.

As the sister once said: "Brokeback Mountain" is of course a good movie, but it is a movie that I cannot tolerate—not because I discriminate against gays, but because I unshakably discriminate against unscrupulous, guiltless extramarital affairs. .

The seemingly gentle and generous Confucian style, but the bones are languishing. Ang Lee’s movies are consistent, only about ethics, but the conflict between reason and emotion, the collision between tradition and modernity, and its tendency is not even worse. It goes without saying.

He seems to have a kind face, just like the most murderous tradition, never willing to confess his likes and dislikes openly, but concealed a cold heart faintly. I have never been willing to give the slightest blessing. The more abundant and fresh life is, the more it will die in the end: Yu Jiaolong will fall in love with Li Mubai after all, and will commemorate this conversion with the death of his life; Marianna's story It is just another old admonition. The charming woman is bleak in the face of moral precepts and accepts maturity palely. Is eating and drinking men and women happy ending? Why do I only see women's insults and damages? In the most tragic scene in my eyes, the handsome Zhao Wenxuan stretched out his hand to Jiaqian, and his handsome and gentle smile was impeccable: "Good friend"-my tears burst out at that moment.

Ang Lee is still the same as the screenwriter of "sex and city": the boundless springtime can be exhausted, the prosperity of the world can be chased, but in the end, blessings are only given to women in marriage. It was difficult for the screenwriter to finally marry five lively older girls one by one, so that they could be relieved. In the same "Diet and Men", the youngest daughter seems to have no heart but is sitting on happiness. What the man admires most is the scheming and cleverness of such a small woman. The image of the eldest daughter has always been exaggerated like a cartoon, and the moment when the female charm is fully revealed. But stupid people have silly blessings, but they are unique, the more intelligent, the more beautiful, the more charming, but the more they can only be regarded as "good friends" by men, and they can only fall into the trap with nowhere to escape: That It is the inevitable fate of modern (rebellious) (new) women in Ang Lee's story.

Yu Jiaolong, Jia Qian, Weiwei, Marianna, Li Ang’s screens of these women run through ancient and modern, China and foreign countries, but they are of the same kind—the same kind struggling, colliding, and rebelling on the edge of tradition and modernity. , And will eventually encounter a betrayed temperament woman. Sure enough, saying that Ang Lee understands women, he even became suspicious of his sexuality. However, even if he did, he was never compassionate. Even if he understood, he never had real sympathy.

    Although the word food sex is also misunderstood by most, I just want to use the meaning of this idiom to be misunderstood to comment on this movie.

    It was only in this part that Ang Lee's skill was revealed, or formed. The emotions between the two generations, life is unpredictable, flat and shocking.
