Ang Lee's entanglement

I finally finished watching Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which I hadn't watched for a while. I actually watched it when I was in high school, but I thought it was boring at that time. Looking at it now, I don't think it's flawless. For example, the chasing scenes in the desert between the unruly and wild daughter Xiaolong and the loyal dog wild man Xiaohu are very bloody, which reminds me of some Taiwanese third-rate romances. On the other hand, Long Bailian's ambiguous, tangled, obscure and erotic scenes are very interesting. I checked that some people have explained the relationship between the three of them as the ego and the superego. After thinking about it, it is indeed appropriate. It can be seen that Li An should also be quite good at ego. Tangled up with the man, so he finally suffocated himself and put out a whole erotic ring, as if to let the world see his dark side. There is also Miss Zi Yizhang, the role of "I know what I want, so I hold back my black belly and pretend to be shy and run away happily in the yellow sand." The role is entirely for her Tailored. But on the whole, this is a good movie enough for the boring people to watch.
