After reading, I want to check the relevant information on the Internet, but what I found was the Coen brothers’ FARGO, which was also translated into "Ice Storm". Forgive me for my ignorance, I really can’t see what FARGO is so good about. Ang Lee’s neglected work is the real masterpiece. This film mainly tells about the disintegration of American middle-class family ethics in the 1970s, sexual liberation, wife swapping games, midlife crisis, adolescence, all of which fell apart on the night of the arrival of the ice storm. Ang Lee still maintains the quiet undercurrent in this movie, and the calm language of the lens is cruel that makes people unable to face it. The anatomy of the American middle-class family can be described as a knife and a knife. The process of watching a movie is like being in that ice storm night. The cold penetrates every pore, making people really can't bear to watch it a second time. It is really sad that such a masterpiece has not received the recognition it deserves.
