Abstract:
Ang Lee is considered as one of the most important directors of the new
generation in Taiwan. The great attention he has paid to family ethics and the
comparison between Chinese and Western culture. He fully expresses the theme of
the comparison between Chinese and Western culture through strong and
comprehensive narration. Through analyzing his directing style, we will compare and
illustrate his cultural awareness of ethics and morality from his personal experience
and his social background. Ang Lee has experienced the combination of both Chinese
and Western education. His films are the product of the combination of these two
social cultures. In this paper, the author tried to conduct an in-depth analysis of Ang
Lee and the “Ang Lee Phenomenon”, hoping to provide a reference for the
development of Chinese film.
