No two Ang Lee films look or feel alike, either. So, what actually makes an Ang Lee movie an Ang Lee movie then? Lee was born in Taiwan in 1954 and became interested in drama, film, and theater at a young age. Right away, you can see what draws Lee to stories involving people at odds with their parents and/or the society they were born into. Indeed, practically every one of Lee's films features characters struggling to hide a part of themselves — their Hulk, Lee would say.
