Ang Lee also directed the powerful Civil War drama Ride with the Devil, which was based on the novel Woe to Live On by Daniel Woodrell and starred Tobey Maguire, Skeet Ulrich, and Jewel in her feature film debut.

Ang directed Tobey Maguire in the part of Paul Hood in The Ice Storm.  In the novel The Ice Storm, Rich Moody writes "And sometimes Paul himself was Ben Grimm, and sometimes he was Peter Parker, a.k.a. the Spider-Man" Ironically, Tobey Maguire plays both Paul Hood and Peter Parker in the film versions.

The less than great critical reception of Ang Lee's Hulk was more than offset by the luminous reviews for Brokeback Mountain.

Very interesting fact about Tobey

"S" is scandalous

When Brokeback Mountain was not awarded the Best Picture Oscar in 2006, many people gasped at the scandalous oversight; Ang Lee, however, was restrained and polite in his remarks following the ceremony.

Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain  captures "the guarded, overwhelming inner emotions of two lonely men daring to love against unbeatable odds."
