For a filmmaker, it's a rare chance to do a personal film on a big canvas.

I hope people don't compare 2D and 3D because 3D's new, it's unfair to compare to 2D which is really sophisticated, even when we're jaded about it. 3D just began, give it a chance, let the equipment and projection system catch up and be better, let the price go down, let more filmmakers get a hold of it more easily.

I'm just a pretty regular dad.
Ang Lee
Image
It's just what I am. When I am in the zone making one movie, I just didn't want to read anything else or do anything else, so I don't really develop projects.
Ang Lee

Things that don't have a big impact seem to be crucial. Always when you go out to make a movie you have questions, What if this doesn't work? What if that doesn't work? you want to cover yourself, you want to bring back enough [footage] so you can do something.

Meanwhile, the Ice Storm was still in development, And that was something I really wanted to do, and frankly I don't think I was ready to do a big production like this.

To me, Ennis stands for the conservative side of America. He's the biggest homophobe in the whole movie - culturally and psychologically - but by the time he admits his feelings, it's too late.

Kids don't even read comic books anymore. They've got more important things to do - like video games.

The thing we call critics are not really reviewers, they are not really critics. They don't have the discipline to write what we would term as critique - it's really just reviewers. They have a common man kind of taste. If you watch them overall, they are not different from the box-office. That's my view.
