Lee had been working in the field for six years before that breakthrough in the early 1990s. That double first for a film from Taiwan (the Golden Bear and the Oscar nomination) propelled him into the international spotlight. He has never left it.
Both Ang Lee the prolific maker of films and winner of awards and Ang Lee the family-loving introvert have been the focus of media reports. Back in 1994, after Lee was nominated for an Oscar, Sinorama commissioned his longtime personal assistant David Lee to write about Ang Lee. David conducted an exclusive interview and wrote about his personal observations from having worked with Ang Lee for so long. The headline “What You Don’t Know about Ang Lee” took pride of place on our cover that month.
After the Oscars came to a close, Ang Lee, friendly and humble as ever, said, “That adventure is over. On to the next….” Lee has lost none of his mojo. In the marvelous world of film, he is still leading us on one adventure after another.
Blending Eastern vision and Western culture, Ang Lee has taken risk after risk in his films. His success has made him the pride and joy of Chinese-language film circles.
