Thanks!

1-
Black as if Jack is a bad guy, that bugs me, since I do not consider him that way!!

2-
When Jack was wearing black, was that the right  time, in the movie, in order to say something? Or was it for fashion of the time??

That are a puzzles... to me!!

Black is not necessarily the color of the "bad guy" when you consider Asian cultures, and the director Ang Lee is Chinese/Taiwanese and a follower of the I Ching.

What does black represent then? Well, black is night, feminine, left, water, and many other attributes that complement and are the opposite of white. Black is as essential as white is. It's like left and right. And in everything black, there is a touch of white, just as in everything white, there is a touch of black. You can't have one without the other.

Interesting point Front Ranger.

the color black is a symbol of "left" as in lefthandedness? that is interesting. could Ang Lee have made a statement by using the black color for Jack Twist. was Jake lefthanded in the movie?

Thanks Front-Ranger, thanks brokeplex!!

I can accept that black for Jack is feminine in Ang Lee culture..., and that Jack is somewhat femme in the BM movie!! In more than one eay... unfortunately and/or fortunately!!

But I have trouble accepting that black had white touch in it!!??

May I say that as an Artist painter, I know that black is the absence of colour! Therefore, is Ang Lee telling us that Jack is a non-person ?? I will go further later... for that!!

With black, Lee foretells us that Jack will die
and must die ??

Awaiting news on that from you two and from others,

hugs!!

Thanks brokeplex!

Maybe it is a good point... as you say.

If so, then Lee bugs me!!  The BM movie is supposed to be USA??

So, his culture maybe went in it?

I often wondered what he said in Chinese!! And do not know yet when he went there in China!!
Do you  or anyone?
