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.

This piece is too political, and the middle-class family serves as a synonym for the United States (using the Watergate incident as the point of contact). Some of the melodrama can be directly traced to Nicholas Rey or Douglas Silk. Although it is Li Ang's consistent high-level and high-quality film (such as the night scene during a long period of freezing rain, it is purely showing off), but it can be seen that Li An did not have love in his heart when he was filming this film.

You were born in a family, but you are trapped in a family. How many people in this world live in despair indifferently and peacefully. We love each other, we hurt each other, and we end up in the dust together.

Paul Hood: To find yourself in the negative zone, as the Fantastic Four often do, means all every day assumptions are inverted. Even the invisible girl herself becomes visible and so she loses the last semblance of her power. It seems to me that everyone exists partially on a negative zone level, some people more than others. In your life, it's kind of like you dip in and out of it, a place where things don't quite work out the way they should. But for some people, the negative zone tempts them. And they end up going in, going in all the way.
