The documentary Fabulous! (2006) is constructed with interview snippets featuring a wide array of actors, directors, and festival organizers, to portray our last century's history of same-sex films. It has interviews with independent film icons such as Todd Haynes, Gus Van Sant, John Waters and Ang Lee.

"G" is Geisha
« Reply #12994 on: May 10, 2007, 12:26:07 pm »
Ziyi Zhang, who recently starred in Memoirs of a Geisha, wrote of Ang Lee in Time Magazine:

I know he is also making a huge influence in the lives of younger filmmakers and actors. I, for one, will be forever indebted to him for casting me in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. When I went to audition for him, I had made just one film (The Road Home) and had never done any martial arts. I was 20 and didn't feel up to any of it. He still gave me that chance. Why? He saw what I could be capable of and was willing to let me have a go at it. How great is he?

I love that he never limits himself either. He's a good role model for all of us. Director Ang Lee lives in the future.
