Revision as of 19:22, 12 November 2005 by 81.7.47.136 (talk)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Ang Lee (Chinese: 李安; pinyin: Lǐ Ān ) (born October 23, 1954) is an ethnic Chinese Hollywood director born and raised in Taiwan but educated in the United States. Many of his films have focused on the interactions between modernity and tradition.
His films have also tended to have a light-hearted comic tone which marks a break from the tragic historical realism which characterized Taiwanese filmmaking after the end of the martial law period in 1987. He created the gay genre in Asian films, and also created the A-list Hollywood wuxia film.
He is highly educated, having completed his bachelor's degree in Theater from the University of Illinois and received his MFA from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, where in 1984 he made a thesis film called Fine Line. He was also classmates with Spike Lee. He was a Visiting Fellow at Dartmouth College in 2001 where he premiered Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Ang Lee's latest film, Brokeback Mountain (2005) won the best film award at the Venice International Film Festival.
