Forbearance of love

When watching Lee Ang's movies, the word that always has to be felt is forbearance. Even if it is not all about love, such as "The Hulk", it is full of grief and forbearance. The theme of love, such as the comedy ending of "Sense and Emotion", can hardly eliminate the troubles of the human being in it and suffering from the exhaustion of love. Not to mention that from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to "Brokeback Mountain" this year, the "forbearance" of showing love seems to be accomplished.

Always admire the actors scheduled by him, who can achieve what he wants. At the end of the plot of "Sense and Emotion", EMMA burst into tears and choked with joy when faced with the person he loved knowing that he was not married. Such a scene, alas..., I even think Ang Lee is the person who knows Austin's novels best. He knows how the novelist's heart grinds the delicate emotions of the gentlemen and young ladies of that era when the novelist writes such a story. The protagonists in Austin's pens are always bound by the advent of love in such an era. In front of love, forbearing love is a difficult personal war. In today's view, it is actually because of a thin paper-like reservation and forbearance that you may lose a person and terribly lose your life (just like another movie "Farewell to Love Day"). I just finished watching the new "Pride and Prejudice" filmed by the same Austin novel, and finally realized that it has become a masterpiece because it expresses that human sensibility was once such an incurable disease. It represents the pure beauty of hope and love at the same time. It is difficult to escape the twists and turns given by the characteristics of the times, and a hearty love requires a process that is not simple. What makes such a process affect people's hearts is to tolerate the depression and sorrow in it.

I don’t understand how Eastern traditions helped this movie. I only think Ang Lee is the only English gentleman described by Austin. Ang Lee knows how to express the subtle emotions and resentments of men and women. He can express his reserved keen sensibility. It must turn into tears of sadness and excitement for the protagonist of the movie, including those of the audience. The movies that people in love must watch are not those easy and romantic comedies. To understand love better, they must know: Lovers don’t say more than what they have in their hearts. That’s because there are always those who don’t understand themselves and Other people's parts, and these, make love the beauty and sensibility deep and trembling.
