Personality assessment

Among the directors of China, Ang Lee is a benchmark figure. He has filmed all kinds of movie themes, whether it is ethics, martial arts, comedy or even science fiction, and he can control them calmly. His unique experience makes him adept in both eastern and western cultures. The impact of two different civilizations has created Ang Lee's distinctive vision and temperament, which is both gentle and unrestrained in the traditional East and free and easy in the West. His film technique is simple and natural, with humorous dialogue, delicate and unique plot and smooth plot. China films directed by him are devoted to discussing the ethical contradiction between tradition and modernity and the cultural conflict between the East and the West, which opens up a new field of expression for Taiwan Province provincial films. Directing English movies can also profoundly and accurately grasp the cultural psychology of Europe and America. He insisted on his own artistic exploration and actively communicated with the audience. His films often become the text of communication elements, explaining and expressing the plight of human beings in different historical periods, and achieving breakthroughs in technology, aesthetics and commerce, which is a model for spiritual aristocrats to preach to the audience. (Nanhai Net, Sohu Entertainment Review)

Ang Lee's success lies in his proper handling of the differences and opposites between Chinese and Western cultures in his films, and his adoption of narrative strategies that not only meet the requirements of China's traditional culture, but also meet the aesthetic psychology of western audiences. His films not only have an understanding and reflection on China's traditional culture, but also have an understanding of the western value system. The three films of his early work "Father Trilogy" show and expound the conflict and integration of two different cultural concepts from different angles step by step, and the attribution of China traditional culture in this conflict. In his later works, Ang Lee continued his thinking about Chinese and western culture and art, tried his best to combine the connotation of Chinese and western culture and its aesthetic expression perfectly, and applied it to film shooting brilliantly, forming his unique creative style. (Comments on Journal of Shijiazhuang University, Literary Life and Literary Theory)

Ang Lee has never set up barriers for himself in the choice of film themes. Tradition and modernity, East and West, all these he tried to grasp. However, no matter how the theme changes, the discourse construction of the film text is always Ang Lee-style, and his works always have a kind of stability, that is, the persistent pursuit of drama. Ang Lee likes to take drama as the framework of presenting reality and the core element of video text, whether it is to show "oriental scenery" or "western scenery". His lens language matches the content of his text. On the one hand, it echoes the dramatic and conflicting narrative system in the inner layer; on the other hand, it has a quiet and restrained style of compassion, forming a tension between certain form and content. His films are calm on the surface, but undercurrents are surging inside. The characters in his film world often face the identity confusion under the impact of culture and the psychological vertigo of different cultures. He not only presents a dramatic realistic level through the plot movement, but also strongly attracts the public with the classic dramatic story mode, and is good at poetic assembly in the deep layer of the story frame. (Comment on Journal of Nanjing Agricultural University (Social Science Edition)

Ang Lee is a China director who vividly shows the cultural conflict between the East and the West, and has won the universal recognition of the audiences in the East and the West. His directing art has both the connotation of Confucian culture and the characteristics of popular sitcoms in Hollywood dramas. His series of works reflect his familiarity with the popular sitcom model, his adherence to the Confucian tradition of "starting with emotion and ending with ceremony", and his innovative spirit of trying to find a harmonious but different way out in the reality of cultural diversity and differences. He not only knows the way of metaphor in the artistic expression of movies, but also tells colorful creative themes through metaphors, which are often ambiguous, greatly expanding the interpretation space, enriching the expression meaning and enhancing the artistic aesthetic effect of his movies. In addition, his success also benefits from his profound cultural background and unique artistic perspective. His films have no grand narrative mode, but focus on telling family stories that reflect real human nature and the real feelings of real people. (Review of Film Literature)
