Ang Lee (b. 1954) has emerged as one of cinema's most versatile,
critically acclaimed, and popular directors. Known for his ability
to transcend cultural and stylistic boundaries, Lee has built a
diverse oeuvre that includes films about culture clashes and
globalization ( Eat Drink Man Woman, 1994, and The Wedding Banquet,
1993), a period drama ( Sense and Sensibility, 1995), a martial
arts epic ( Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, 2000), a comic book
action movie ( Hulk, 2003), and an American western ( Brokeback
Mountain, 2005). The Philosophy of Ang Lee draws from both Eastern
and Western philosophical traditions to examine the director's
works. The first section focuses on Taoist, Confucian, and Buddhist
themes in his Chinese-language films, and the second examines
Western philosophies in his English-language films; but the volume
ultimately explores how Lee negotiates all of these traditions,
strategically selecting from each in order to creatively address
key issues. With interest in this filmmaker and his work increasing
around the release of his 3-D magical adventure The Life of Pi
(2012), The Philosophy of Ang Lee serves as a timely investigation
of the groundbreaking auteur and the many complex philosophical
themes that he explores through the medium of motion pictures.
