When it comes to movies, people will think of many excellent film directors, such as Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou and Ang Lee. Today we are going to introduce Ang Lee.
Director Ang Lee and Lust, Caution
Ang Lee, a Chinese-language film director, is famous not only at home, but also overseas. This is because all his films are excellent. His films Brokeback Mountain and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon have received very good reviews at home and abroad, and he also won different best director awards for these works.
Lust, Caution is a movie that many people have heard. The film was directed by Ang Lee, an outstanding director in China, and adapted from Lust, Caution by Zhang Ailing, a famous modern writer. As soon as it was released, it caused a great sensation, which made the film, director and actor win many awards at home and abroad, and even made Tang Wei famous at one fell swoop, which laid the foundation for Tang Wei to get an actress.
Although Lust, Caution tells the story of a female college student who used her beauty to approach the traitor mr. yi and attempted to assassinate him in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in the 1940s. Originally, it seemed to be a normal and ordinary anti-Japanese film, but the plot was deleted and deleted, and it was banned by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television in Tang Wei before it was released.
The reason why this movie caused such a sensation is mainly because the scale of this drama is too large, which has exceeded many boundaries of ordinary movies. Lust, Caution is the largest film with the highest production cost, the largest number of actors and the largest scale in China since the 20th century. Of course, it is a new visual sense for many viewers, but it is still too bold for the general public.
Some people in Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Tang Wei think this film is meaningless. In fact, people who know art will understand that even the scenes of sex scenes express quite a lot of emotional entanglements. Although they love each other, they don't completely trust each other. Such contradictory feelings are vividly interpreted by them.
However, after the show was broadcast, many netizens questioned whether the film was fake. And Tony Leung Chiu Wai also responded to the outside world: The play with Tang Wei is really "fake and true". Because when filming, actors really need to devote themselves wholeheartedly, and Tony Leung Chiu Wai did a good job. But in fact, when he was filming such a play, he also had psychological obstacles. Director Ang Lee also asked his wife to do the work for him.
Tang Wei also publicly acknowledged Tony Leung Chiu Wai's acting skills. In fact, a big-name star like him can use body double, but he didn't do it, but made his own decisions. But actually acting requires a lot of skills.
After the film was finished, both of them were questioned by the outside world. Tony Leung Chiu Wai doesn't seem to be greatly affected, but Tang Wei, as the hostess, has been greatly wronged.
After Tang Wei finished the play, he was criticized by many outsiders. Later, Ang Lee sent her to study abroad in Tang Wei. After several years of study, she returned to China to star in "Beijing meets Seattle" and returned to the audience's sight again.
There is a kind of woman in this world who is extraordinary as soon as she appears, and her starting point is too high to be cold or hot, so that the later roads look like mountains and seas, but she has won thousands of favors after ever-changing.
If it weren't for Ang Lee, Tang Wei might still be the unknown woman scattered in any corner of the street, running her own life in obscurity, getting married and having children, doing trivial housework like most people, and then dying. Besides, no one will remember it except her relatives and friends. But fate is a strange thing. Many times, the phrase "Our destiny is in our own hands" is not credible, but on the contrary, Tang Wei is a typical example of mastering our own destiny.
Fate led Tang Wei to Ang Lee, Tang Wei to Lust, Caution, Tang Wei to Zhang Ailing and Tang Wei to Wang Jiazhi, all of which were limited to exquisite words and rough paper. All these achievements made Tang Wei, and of course, Tang Wei in turn enriched them.
Tang Wei famously said, "I like pain, otherwise I can't feel the truth. No pain, no scenes. Pain is the way I love. " She likes a French film "Love", which is about two old people whose wives have a stroke. In order not to let their wives die in humiliation, husbands strangled their wives with pillows and starved to death. From the perspective of young women in literature and art, it can be understood that our death is elegant and beautiful, and stroke is the destruction of this poetry. The significance of pain to young women in literature and art lies in that it is a kind of poem, such as Shi's "Embracing the Eyebrows" and Haitang's "The Beauty of Throwing Blood".
However, many comments about Tang Wei are still very negative, mainly because she made the film Lust, Caution. In fact, what I want to say is that as an actress, she has paid a lot and sacrificed a lot, and her acting skills are also very good.
