I'm not a master of films. I'm rather a slave.
Ang Lee

If you try to act, you're going to look like you're acting. So don't act.

When I grew up, in Taiwan, the Korean War was seen as a good war, where America protected Asia. It was sort of an extension of World War II. And it was, of course, the peak of the Cold War. People in Taiwan were generally proAmerican. The Korean War made Japan. And then the Vietnam War made Taiwan. There is some truth to that.

I don't have incredible knowledge about films or of filmmaking history I'm not that kind of person.

I think great romance needs great obstacles and textures.
Ang Lee

I think the book struck me in a few ways that I thought very interesting to pick it as my first martial arts film. It has a very strong female character and it was very abundant in classic Chinese textures.

3D is quite a lot more advanced in animated movies for live-action movies we're just taking baby steps, we're just in the beginning.
Ang Lee
Image
I think, if allowed, 3D is a new film language. I can have more adventure exploring a new media, that's very exciting. 2D we know most of it, things haven't changed for decades it's the same principles, so 3D's more exciting.

There's only one movie in my career I've had regrets with cutting it shorter, and I think some scenes maybe I shouldn't have cut.
