For Chen Kaige, I now feel that the style of his films is like standing between Ang Lee and Zhang Yimou. There are Ang Lee's details but not enough details, and Zhang Yimou's style but not so much. "With You" is his work that favors Ang Lee, and "The Promise" is his work that favors Zhang Yimou. I think the degree of "With You" is just right. If Ang Lee and Zhang Yimou were to handle it, maybe the movie wouldn't be so smooth.
