My Life

The Havard Crimson: What kinds of stories particularly resonate with you?

Ang Lee: Themes that are are familiar but different, like gay cowboys. People that are on the disadvantaged side, or on the fringe: in “Ride With The Devil,” for instance, you see a slave self-emancipating in the South instead of an owner saving a slave. It’s an odd angle, not conventional, but it makes human sense. Maybe it’s because I grew up in Taiwan, and we’re always losing. So those on the wrong side of history, to grow up with that, my heart races to those characters very easily.

多令人鼻酸的一句話,這麼沉重的包袱,李安說得如此的輕描淡寫,不喜歡現在的台灣,卻不知道該怎麼辦,唯一能做的,就是繼續保持樂觀的心情,最壞的,總是會過去的,不是嗎?
