Crouching Tiger Concerto - Tan Dun - LSCO & Betsy Husby
Drawing from China's shamans, Tan Dun often turns to what he calls organic instruments: a pair of stones, bamboo, a leaf. Or in the case of Water Passion, cups of water dipped into a basin.
Organic sounds also turn up in his film score for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and a concerto he wrote for Yo-Yo Ma.
Ang Lee (Chinese:; Pinyin: Lǐ Ān ) (born October 23, 1954) is an American film director originally from Taiwan. He was born and raised in Pingtung, Taiwan and educated in the United States, where he found success as a Hollywood director, well-known for his wuxia film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000).
He completed his bachelor's degree in Theater from the University of Illinois and received his MFA from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, where in 1984 he made a thesis film called Fine Line. He was a classmate of Spike Lee and worked on the crew of the latter Lee's thesis film, Joe's Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads .
Many of his films have focused on the interactions between modernity and tradition. His films have also tended to have a light-hearted comic tone which marks a break from the tragic historical realism which characterized Taiwanese filmmaking after the end of the martial law period in 1987. Lee's films also tend to draw on deep secrets and internal torment that begin to come to the surface such as the gay-themed films The Wedding Banquet (1993), Brokeback Mountain (2005), the martial arts epic Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) and the comic book adaptation Hulk (2003)
He received the Dartmouth Film Award in 2002, along with Meryl Streep.
He taught filmmaking to actor Kai Christophe Wong.
Lee's film Brokeback Mountain (2005) won the best film award at the Venice International Film Festival, was named 2005's best film by the Los Angeles film critics. It also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture - Drama, with Lee winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Director - Motion Picture.
His wife, Jane, is a microbiologist; they have two children, Haan and Mason.

Ride With the Devil is a 1999 American Civil War drama directed by Ang Lee. The film starred Tobey Maguire, Jeffrey Wright, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers and folk/ pop singer Jewel . The film was meant to be a summer blockbuster and it cost over US$35,000,000 to produce (a large sum for most Westerns). However, it received pans and negative press after screenings. It was released on around 140 screens in the U.K. and made barely over £100,000 . It was then released on 8 U.S. screens fetching only $64,000. It immediately went to video and DVD and as of 2003 has yet to turn a profit.
It is based on the novel Woe to Live On, by Daniel Woodrell and the screenplay was written by James Schamus.
Plot synopsis
Jake Roedel ( Tobey Maguire) and Jack Bull Chiles ( Skeet Ulrich) are friends in Missouri when the Civil War starts. Jack Bull's dad is killed by Kansas union Jayhawkers. The two boys join the Missouri irregulars known as "bushwhackers" or " border ruffians" -- informal units loyal to Missouri, not willing to fight someone else's war in Virginia. They meet George Clyde ( Simon Baker) and his former slave Daniel Holt ( Jeffrey Wright), whom he granted his freedom. They battle using guerrilla tactics and hide out during the winter months. Jack and Sue Lee ( Jewel Kilcher), widowed daughter-in-law to the man that is hiding them, become lovers. When Jack dies in a skirmish, Jake escorts Sue Lee south to a safe farm. The bushwhackers, led by William Quantrill, make a raid into Lawrence, Kansas. In the midst of the raid a quarrel arises between Jake and fellow bushwacker Pitt Mackeson ( Jonathan Rhys-Meyers). For the remaining part of the film Jake fears for his life. Towards the end of the film the two meet again. Pitt tells of their mutual friends who were hanged in Dover, Kansas, and in a roundabout way he tells of his intentions to meet a similar fate in his nearby hometown.
我買到一本舊書
似禪如詩的漂流者（李安）
史帝芬?卡拉漢這位漂流者，不僅生動地描述了具體事件，更在情感思考上有深度的探索。因為史帝芬在漂流時期，一般生存條件被剝削到最低程度，所以 他的感官與心智出奇的敏銳。他對許多事物的體認是非凡的，舉凡對基本物資與工具的珍惜、對自身的反省、對自然的融合與崇敬、對信仰的領會……，透過似禪如 詩的文字，把這場漂流的歷程，寫成面對內心與神跡的朝聖之旅，發人深省。
我與史帝芬相識於2009年4月，當時我正難於下決心接不接《少年Pi》。原著是好書，劇本卻不知怎下手，更別提片子該怎麼拍。看了史帝芬這本《漂流》，覺得似乎比《少年Pi》還有意思。於是我找了編劇David Magee聯繫史帝芬，然後一起殺到緬因州去向他請益。
史帝芬是一位老式木造帆船的專家，他帶著我，連同他太太Kathy一起出航，我們在小船上聊了很多，又於次日長談（這個人，真的可以做好朋友）。 之後，我便決定接下這部片子。這部片子到了2010年8月多經費才批准下來，我們在台中建造一個新式的大造浪池，又把廢置的水湳機場改造成片廠工作。
堅毅樂觀鼓勵人心
後來在拍攝期間，他不只是指導所有有關漂流的細節，甚至成為我們的造浪顧問。後期製作時，他也指導了一部分電腦海洋動畫。只是沒多久便因血癌惡化，開始一連串痛苦的化療，又是換髓又是換血的。
但 《少年Pi》的後期製作既長且煩，有時真有頹廢到想放棄的時候。但是與史帝芬的電話問候與通信中，他的堅毅與樂觀，凡事感恩的態度，對我有著很大的鼓勵。 其實不論在海上漂流，或者是在病榻上抗癌，他的精神是一致的──他永遠對能夠成為宇宙運作中的一份子感到珍惜，永遠盡心盡力的體會與學習，並不吝分享他 人，是一位難得的好人與修行者。
這個世界常常是有歷練的人沒文才，或是有感性的人沒靈性，像史帝芬．卡拉漢這樣一位俱全的人，寫的《漂流》這麼一本有意思的書，真像是一本《福音》。
