Parent-child Relationship In The Ang Lee Film

Ang Lee as a world-renowned Chinese film director, his work in the East and West are great success at the box office and artistic exploration are very impressive.This article focuses on care of the unique structure Ang Lee film, the work of father and son (daughter) relationship both intimate side, another side of the conflict, Ang Lee made the subject of the structure of individual developmental problems, paternal authority,self-awareness, family and nation in the Western culture and cultural differences have a unique proposition in perspective and values.Lee works in the image of father and sons and daughters of rich, fresh, real, most of the characters have been universally recognized by the audience, Lee's father, shaping the image and the image of the real children of penetrating to the heart of the human family lifeall aspects of personality conflict and attachment.The image of the father and son image similar to each other but each has its distinct character.To sum up the image of his father, the father can be divided into three characteristics, namely, the "ideal father", "Sex and the father," "expects his father."Ang Lee on his father's attitude is examined from the challenge to the fierce resistance, to identify regression, showing a tortuous mental process.Son of the psychological process of reflection to the image, they formed a father of three sons of Psychology:"Electra", "patricide", "second identity."For fathers, children tend to show love and hate, and that they away, and "Love" and "killing" the contradictions feelings.And, in most of the work presented is a tendency to his father's charisma is often better than the son of parents who are on the excellent traditional culture and quality, and children are often weak, immature or even disgraceful.Ten movies, either explicitly or implicitly in the father-son relationship is quite different, "family trilogy" in the father-son relationship in the conflict see the harmony, "Western trilogy", the father-son relationship deteriorated, opposition, even violent "killingFather "move.Some works, such as "Sense and Sensibility," "Ride with the Devil," "Lust, Caution" sense, although not the father of the flesh, but there is spiritual sense father.Ang Lee's father-son relationship in the form of Western literature "patricide Complex" and the father of modern Chinese literature of conflict "usurp Murder" complex is quite similar.Leaving his son in literature, the expulsion of his father, incest and other topics in the Ang Lee has disguised the present work, to correspond to it, we can see across the ocean came from Chinese families, but the son of the alien life;and the father did not, and, desperate to flee her home or go out alone to live with the father the son of selfishness; and daughter of the students with no respect for the old father, and so on.According to Freud's psychoanalytic theory, father and son conflict and identity is rooted in personality structure ", ego, superego" role.In the "I" under the effect of the release of their own desires tend to follow the "only music principle", to touch other people's perceptions and interests, which became a source of human conflict and his son.In the "self" easing constraints paternity, parent-child image in the pursuit of "super-ego" of the force in a compromise between father and son and identity, and finally back to a harmonious parent-child relationship.Lacan's "second identity" theory is to explain once again the son of his father's feelings after experiencing a setback to reach a new height, resulting in a final understanding, this is not a child born on his father's desire is,but the spirit of communication and dialogue to achieve a certain degree of similarities.Conflict between father and son performance of modern traditional Chinese families have been the impact of the Confucian family ethics and conflict of modern Western culture.Lee faced his Chinese culture, "root" show a confused and torn, so he and his son in the conflict for the film chose a happy ending harmony tends to, which is both harmonious parent-child relationship, but also in thecompromise to reconcile the conflict of Western culture, coincident with the psychological Lee Chong Shangru home moderation.Relaxation mainly through the father-son relationship father and son agree that the compromise achieved the recognition his son out of his father's understanding, it is the Shenju their own cultural background of Chinese traditional regression; and his father's compromise, is the father'sthe face of traditional values and modern culture to accept an adjustment, also showed his father's generous tolerance and personal charm.Happy ending to the story that the family although there are some deliberately, but cultural roots traceable, father and son's identity and compromise are inevitable.Ang Lee has always been concerned about the father-son relationship, and implement the theme of father and son to film and television works, Ang Lee for "paternity" of the exploration is a deep and comprehensive interpretation of parent-child relationship in the movie Ang Lee has become the culture of East and Westdifferences, the Chinese traditional ethics, issues such as family structure is an important perspective.Father and son theme of artistic creation in our intergenerational transmission of culture and enlightenment is meaningful father-son relationship theme of harmony and conflict, for the literary and artistic creation has drawn and thought of eternal value.
