"A" is America

Ang Lee won the top prize from the Directors Guild of America (DGA) for his work on Brokeback Mountain. He beat out George Clooney for Good Night, and Good Luck, Paul Haggis for Crash, Bennett Miller for Capote and Steven Spielberg for Munich.

"B" is bragging
« Reply #13012 on: May 11, 2007, 08:20:31 pm »
Though he's not the bragging type, Ang Lee has legitimate bragging rights for Brokeback Mountain:  over 70 awards were won by him, the movie, the actors, writers or creative staff in 2005, and that's not even counting the nominations.  Yeehaw!

"C" is considered
« Reply #13013 on: May 11, 2007, 10:15:39 pm »
After the setback of Hulk, Ang Lee had considered retiring early, but his father encouraged him to continue making movies.  His next project was Brokeback Mountain, and the rest is history.

Ang is described as an exacting director, expecting actors to have done their homework and show up prepared.

"F" is flocked
« Reply #13016 on: May 13, 2007, 11:44:16 am »
Success at the box office for Ang Lee's films was indicated by how audiences hungered to see Eat Drink Man Woman, hailed The Ice Storm, empathized with Sense and Sensibility and flocked to see Brokeback Mountain.

Ang Lee has become one of today's greatest contemporary filmmakers.

"H" is househusband
« Reply #13018 on: May 13, 2007, 06:13:05 pm »
While Ang Lee was struggling to break into the movie business, he was a househusband for six years, but after his many successes, he became a household name as the art-house king.

"I" is intensified
« Reply #13019 on: May 13, 2007, 06:55:26 pm »
Ang Lee's casting of Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal as Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist intensified speculation that he would over-Hollywoodize Annie Proulx's short story; however, that fear proved to be groundless.

Praise from the praiseworthy is much appreciated  :)
