    I think It's really hard for asian directors to survive in hollywood, let alone make it to the oscars. They have very different cultural backgrounds and different sense of mutuality that make it so hard for people to understand their values or messages to the fullest. That is why Ang Lee is so special, he's a once in a lifetime director.

Ang Lee is still the most successful asian director in oscar.

    Ang Lee is one of the most diverse filmmakers working today; all his films are from a range of different genres. I mean he went from directing a Chinese Martial Arts movie (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) to a Superhero movie (Hulk) to a Romantic Drama (Brokeback Mountain) to a Chinese Erotic Thriller (Lust, Caution) a Comedy (Taking Woodstock) and now a family film (Life of Pi). You can't get more diverse than that.

  • @SDoesNotKnow
    @SDoesNotKnow 8 лет назад +147

    The brilliant thing about Life of Pi was that it was a showcase of mastery direction. I think people who say he didn't deserve it are blatantly dismissing this film as just a visual showcase when it really so much more. The amount of art and symbolism mixed intelligence and real emotional resonance. It also took 3D to a really new level (even beyond Avatar) that I really haven't seen since is why he deserved the Oscar. My other nominees would have been Bigelow, Zeitlin, Spielberg, and Haneke. I think all of them would have been deserving winners actually. Lee just did something really extraordinary with Life of Pi and I'm happy he won. The Director's Branch of the Academy is filled with both studio directors and auteur filmmakers, and with the ranking ballot system, I bet a lot of those directors put the five actual nominees in the 1 or 2 slot. Affleck may have possibly been in the most ballots but if he was mostly ranked as 4 or 5 he would lose out to a nominee who was on less ballots but placed 1 or 2 on more ballots. I think that's how Zeitlin and Haneke got in over Affleck. You know those two were pure passion picks, and I applaud the Director's branch for being brave enough to go that way and appreciate actual artists. I would have only been happier if they they replaced David O. Russell with Bigelow. Despite all the ridiculous hoopla about Affleck getting snubbed (which helped it's Best Pic chances), the standing ovation Lee received here speaks for itself.

      +SDoesNotKnow the only bad aspect about his speech is that most of the work was done by rythm and hues. About 80% of the whole movie was made by visual effects artists, and they didn't even get mentioned. Makes you wonder how "great" this guy is. Check the Ex-Machina speech and you'll see how it's done :)

    • @SDoesNotKnow
      @SDoesNotKnow 8 лет назад +12

      I think "this guy" aka, the very well-respected among his peers, Ang Lee's filmography speaks for itself. It's not as if Life of Pi was his first well-received film, and it's not like he just took a back seat and didn't give his artistic vision. Obviously Life of Pi was a beautiful visual showcase, and Rhythm and Hues should be applauded, but downplaying Lee's work doesn't do much except show you don't know how important it is to have a very excellent director to make it go beyond a showcase.
      "During the last few weeks, Lee has also received honorary awards from the Visual Effects Society and International 3D Society in recognition of how he has pushed the creative and technical filmmaking envelope during production of Pi - by shooting in 3D, mixing with Dolby’s immersive new sound format Atmos and rendering a photo-real CG tiger through the VFX process."
      www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/life-pi-director-ang-lee-422270
      So it seems visual effects people know how great "this guy" is.
      I think people who are criticizing his speech are seriously reaching for something to criticize and I suspect some are just using his "omission" in this ONE speech when he praised his crew and team from the time Life of Pi was released on to attack him because they didn't think he should have won or they were VFX people who at the time were angry at the whole business for undervaluing their work and got mad about this one incident and taking Lee's quote about how costly the whole endeavor was to the point where R&H couldn't make a profit and went into bankruptcy during this time period way out of context. I seriously believe people in the VFX were hurting and started using Lee as some sort of scapegoat when he didn't say anything about paying VFX less.

    First they didn't nominate Ang Lee as Best Director for Sense & Sensibility. Then they didn't award him for Crouching Tiger & Hidden Dragon, even after he won the Director Guild Award. And after that they DID award him for Brokeback Mountain - and infamously ditched the movie itself, crowning Paul Haggis Crash instead. And after all that "misfortune", he finally hat some luck with the oscars - the luck that they didn't nominate Ben Affleck, who would have definetily won :D
    It was the best move the academy could have made after snubbing Affleck. What a great director.

      Ang Lee's win is more impressive. Bong Joon Ho's win is thanks to BTS impact in American entertainment. You can not deny the fact that Korean artists (directors, actors, actresses and singers) gain much attention in the U.S. after BTS paved the way for them in the world's biggest market.

When I heard Jean Pierre Jeunet dropped out of the project, I thought it would not be continued Thank God, someone so brave like Ang Lee stepped in and take the lead. Powerful film! His wise 3D aesthetic put Avatar into shame!

We all knew what was going to happen but it still kept us on the edge of our seats. A woman next to me was biting her nails during the airport scene. It had humor, great cinematography, an amazing script, great acting-what more could you ask for??
