Director: Ang Lee

Starring: kevin kline/joan allen/sigourney weaver/henry Kozeni

The Ice Storm is Ang Lee's most underrated film and his first real Hollywood film. He paid attention to Americans for the first time.

The story happened on the eve of an ice storm, and a couple on the verge of divorce attended a "wife swap" reception.

After the reception, the wife can choose a key at will and enjoy the "game" with the man who owns it.

When they "get together", their precocious daughter and two neighbors are also playing "sex" games.

There's an ice storm raging outside, and there's going to be a huge storm inside. ...

When discussing western family ethics, Ang Lee seems to be much more open and bold than before.

However, combined with the story background, the United States fell into a new predicament in the 1970s because of its pursuit of extreme freedom and liberation.

Just like the tired family in the story looking for fresh excitement, things get out of hand.

At that time, some Americans commented on this film: "It made me sweat after watching it."

Moreover, Ang Lee has a good skill in training actors. Several small stars in the film later became hot Hollywood commercial stars, such as Spider-Man and the Lord of the Rings hero Frodo.

2. Love Song of Jack and Ruth 2005

Director: rebecca miller

Starring: Daniel Day Lewis/camilla bellerouth/catherine keener

The film stars Daniel Day Lewis, who won three Oscars, and is directed by his wife rebecca miller.

Lewis fell in love with Rebecca at first sight and abandoned Agani, who was pregnant with his own flesh and blood. This is a feeling.

Jack and Ruth in the movie Love Song of Jack and Ruth are a father and daughter.

The two of them live on an isolated island, are self-sufficient and never deal with outsiders.

Only this "harmonious" (pure) life was broken by the news that my father was ill and was about to die.

My father was worried that there was no one to support his daughter after her death, so he found his ex-girlfriend to live with and wanted her to have a care in the future.

Unexpectedly, this move caused her daughter's deep jealousy.

She peeked at her father and girlfriend and even retaliated against her father with her "debauchery" behavior. ...

Although the theme of the movie sounds a bit heavy, the word "pure love" comes to mind after watching it.

Female directors, whose mind is delicate, depicts the feelings of father and daughter very delicately. This is forbidden, but it is not dirty. It's beautiful.

3. Desperate love 1996

Director: michael winterbottom

Starring: christopher eccleston/Kate Winslet/liam cunningham

Douban score: 8.0

The film is adapted from the world famous Jude the Obscure, in which Kate Winslet has a bold performance.

Jude in the story has been in tragedy all his life. He married a woman he didn't love because of his desire when he was young.

And the person he loves is exactly what secular morality does not allow-someone else's wife, but also his cousin.

He and his cousin loved each other bravely regardless of husband and wife, religion and law, but they also paid a higher price for it.

This story has a very shocking ending, and at the same time it makes people feel reasonable.

Love is a matter of two people, but not just two people. When your love is selfish enough to hurt others, he will surely taste the bitter fruit.

4. Graduates 1967

Director: mike nichols

Starring: anne Bancroft/dustin hoffman/katharine ross

From 65438 to 0967, the United States experienced the Vietnam War, the anti-war movement, the beat generation ... and the whole country was in a period of chaos. At this time, a movie called "The Graduate" appeared.

A confused young man who just graduated from college was first seduced by his charming wife and then fell in love with her beautiful young daughter.

The power of love is enormous, it can make people glow with new vitality from decadence and confusion.

So, we saw this excellent but cautious boy, and immediately ignited a desperate insistence on the goal.

No matter being blocked by the girl's parents or rejected by the girl, he can't give up.

Finally, he took the girl who was about to marry someone else, ran on the Mercedes, and completed his "graduation" journey from confusion to certainty.

This film still plays an important role in Hollywood. It is the "cruel story of youth" of the confused generation and the epitome of an agitated era.

Dustin hoffman (Rain Man, Hollywood Lifetime Achievement Award), the star of this film, became famous in one fell swoop. He played a series of processes from infancy to maturity of boys, which was very touching.

5. Beauty 2005

Director: Li Yu

Starring:/Huang Xingrao/Wang/Li Kechun

This film was nominated for the best film in Venice International Film Festival, and Li Yu was favored by many professionals, and later got the opportunity to direct Apple and Guanyin Mountain.

Xiaoyun, who is still in middle school, is under the pressure of social family because of her unexpected pregnancy.

She went through a lot of hardships to give birth to a child, but was told that the child was not breathing.

Ten years later, because of a peep, she met a ten-year-old boy, and his angelic words entered her heart.

They are like pure "brother-sister love". He helped her wash clothes, bought snacks and even raised a glass with her.

She didn't know that he was her "dead" son many years ago, just quietly enjoying the beautiful scenery. ...

The film is about a taboo topic: "love between mother and child", but the focus of the film is not here.

It focuses on the helplessness of women under various narrowness and prejudice in society.

Except this little boy full of aura, all the men in the movie are "passers-by", leaving only a cowardly figure.

Women, on the other hand, have to bear the mistakes of their youth and live a miserable and lonely life.
