Other Ang Lee Films
Front-Ranger:
Okay, I'll hazard a guess at answering my own question. Could it be the low-startle-point filly that "kick-starts" the action in Brokeback Mountain??
shortfiction:
I'll mention Sense and Sensibility since no one else has yet. ;)
Ang Lee directed it, swore he'd never work with sheep again, and had to break his own vows on that particular point.
shortfiction:
D'oh! I forgot to mention The Ice Storm, which I really liked. Lee did a lot with the brutal, icy winter of Connecticut in that film. The weather seems to figure prominently in his films, at least the ones I've seen.
Front-Ranger:
Lucise did bring up The Ice Storm earlier. That is one Ang Lee film I can't bring myself to see. I think it came out about the same time as American Beauty and it was a film that disturbed me because it hit so close to home. Maybe I should get up my courage to see The Ice Storm. Tell me more about it.
Kd5000:
Sigorney Weaver's performance was top notch. It's too bad she will be remembered for the Aliens thing. A great ensemble cash for THE ICE STORM. Ang Lee does a great job of capturing very affluent suburbia in the 1970's. I guess these decadent suburbanites had it all so they get bored and start having affairs. I had never heard of KEY PARTIES before.
You grow up on the Connecticut gold coast, Frontranger. ;)
