The Art Of Cross-border

Ang lee is a very unique case in the contemporary Chinese-language film or world film. He swam back and forth between the east and the west, China and Hollywood. These are two kinds of culture and art traditions, which he try to blend together creatively. At the same time, Ang lee's Films also transgressed the boundary between commercial and Art, the mainstream and the marginalization, and were popular with the popular cinema market and the art cinema market both. His films reflect such advantages as the excellent cross-cultural understanding ability, the Negotiation ability and the quality of suiting both refined and popular tastes, which are worth studying.Ang Lee inherited the basic languages of the classical Hollywood cinema.By applying Chinese traditional artistic idea and expression in the films, Ang lee creates a distinct art form of literati. In culture, Ang lee's films use the ways of duble coding to represent China. He made a suture of different even contradict discourses in the same text, even in the same code, which helping the east and west can find an appropriate view or identity position. On the one hand, He imagined China in the view of diasporic Chinese; On the other hand, he cooperated with the orientalism also. His films usually put the marginalized gender identity-- Women and gay-- in the core of narrative. It broke the mainstream representation mode of gender, but didn't shake the mainstream gender order and gender concepts fundamentally. His cinemas affirm positively the legal rights of homosexuality, and yet avoid expressing defiance and heterodoxy of the appetites and the body. His representation of women in cinemas related closely with pop-feminism, But these images of powerful women in fact repeatedly confirmed the legitimacy of patriarchal symbolic order. By criticizing patriarchal nation-state, representing the gender performance of women, emphasizing the value of female body desire,"Lust, Caution" built a true feminist discourse.
