"W" is Wuxia
« Reply #13008 on: May 11, 2007, 01:16:45 pm »
In 1999, Li-Kong Hsu, Ang Lee’s old partner and supporter, invited him to make a movie based on the traditional Chinese Wuxia (A martial art and chivalry) genre. Excited about the opportunity to fulfill his childhood dream, Lee assembled a team from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and mainland China for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000). The film was a surprising success worldwide.

That Visa ad is a hoot  ;D

An excerpt from a Radio Free Asia report:

Director Ang Lee's Oscar Makes Splash in Taiwan
2006.03.06

LOS ANGELES—Taiwan-born director Ang Lee, whose "Brokeback Mountain" scooped the Oscar for best director at the 78th annual Academy Awards, says he was "disappointed" that the movie didn’t make best picture but was happy with its impact so far.

"It has been a year for 'Brokeback Mountain,'" Lee told RFA Mandarin service reporter Xiao Rong. "The movie, the box office, and the social and cultural influence the movie has enjoyed all speak loudly."
