![]() ![]() ![]() Lee's range of genres and settings is impressive, but there's something about his meticulousness that keeps me at a distance. All of his movies - among them Sense and Sensibility, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Brokeback Mountain, even Hulk - center on emotions that bump up against rigid codes of behavior - emotions that can't be suppressed and finally erupt. Lee is a director whose works I've admired more than loved. He shares his boat and its dwindling food supplies with a man-eating Bengal tiger. He's the lone survivor of a shipwreck that killed the crew, his family and a variety of zoo animals his father was transporting to North America for sale.Īctually, Pi is the lone human survivor. Director Ang Lee has a surprising affinity for the Indian hero of Life of Pi - that's his name, Pi, and he's seen at several ages but principally as a 17-year-old boy adrift on a lifeboat in the South Pacific. ![]()
