娱乐英语新闻:Ang Lee featured on "DGA Quarterly" cover

Lee also talked about the stories behind the movies he's made, many of which relate to his friendship and partnership with screenwriter James Schamus, his view on technology used in film and particularly, his passion for culture.

"I was directing both in English and Chinese and bouncing in between the two; it became a balancing act for me. In American films, because it was an adopted culture, the skill and artistic endeavor became clearer. And actually in some ways, psychologically it's easier. I see the subtext better. As a foreigner, accuracy is the first thing you'll see, but getting the cultural habits is more difficult. Then once I had directed in English and went back and started 'Crouching Tiger', I found my thinking had been Westernized, globalized a lot. So I had to find my way back into the Chinese culture, which was my first culture."
