As a sci-fi action movie, Ang Lee's director is not the most exciting and popular. He takes the route of exploring the Hulk's family relationship and inner heart. There are many emotional scenes in this film, and there is a deep excavation of the Hulk's childhood past and inner trauma. Ang Lee focuses on showing the emotional struggles inside Bruce, the Doctor of Science, who can't control the transformed monster. As an ordinary person, he is restrained and deep. When he transformed into the Hulk, he was angry, manic, and extremely destructive, and his will could not control the fear and anger deep in his heart.

The Hulk under the lens of Ang Lee, he has fragile emotions and memories that he dare not face. He both loves and fears the superpowers that he can't control, and is reluctant to remember the painful experiences of his biological parents, always escaping from uncovering the scars of the old days. The pain in Bruce's heart caused him to split into another personality "Hulk" when he was angry. The Hulk, stimulated by anger, will become more and more destructive, and only when he calms down can he return to a normal person. The Hulk used violence to vent his emotional repression, as well as a metaphor for his strong resistance to social regulation and his longing for freedom. It is the release of the hidden self.

Only Betty, who is full of understanding and sympathy for the Hulk, can calm him down. Even after the transformation, the Hulk can still recover his calmness and reason after seeing Betty, because only Betty can help him find escape from the depths of his heart. memories, healing inner pain. Only Betty hugs and comforts him with open arms after he wreaks havoc on the military and the city. This part is very touching. On the one hand, there is love and concern for the lover, and on the other hand, there is the helplessness of not being able to redeem the soul of the lover.

As an action film alone, Ang Lee has added a lot of emotional drama and inner drama, which weakens the visual shock effect of the action film and makes the film slightly slower. Even so, this is still a work with Ang Lee's own style, and it is an attempt to take a different approach to sci-fi action films.
I love the special effects at the end. The fierce battle between father and son, the contradiction between resentment and family affection, the father absorbs the energy of his son and saves his son by means of self-destruction. Bruce finally accepts his inner "devil" and no longer struggles to destroy him. Acceptance of the wounded soul is the best healing.

Fear and anger are part of everyone's emotions. Repulsion and fear will only make him a terrible force that cannot be controlled. Only by accepting him can we live in peace with him. Ang Lee's Hulk wants to express This means.
