Ang Lee the director of “Brokeback. Mountain” , won the Best Director Award at the 78th Academy Awards Lee is the first Chinese to receive the honour , considered the highest in American cinema and the most influential worldwide.
“I’m deeply proud of him”, guched Kate Wang ,granddaughter of Wang Dulu ,whose marual arts novel inspired lee’s “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” in 2000.
“Ang Lee’s movie is very touching .It’s simple but perfect,” commented Zhang Yuan, a Chinese film director of the “Sixth Generation” “I sincerely congratulate him .He is the pride of all Chinese directors everywhere”
Despite the Best Director Award , the film “Brokeback Mountain” lost to “Crash” in the Best Picture. It was widely seen as an upset because “Brokeback” had been winning all kinds of prizes ,from the Golden Bear in Venice ,to the Golden Globe and the Independent Spirit Awards ,and was seen by most observers as shoo-in for the highest Oscar.
An anonymous（匿名的）posting on Sina com summed up what many moviegoers expressed in one way or another , “Now that Ang Lee has got all the big international awards, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige need not compete for the title of No. 1 Chinese Director anymore”
Other voices were less congratulatory. Dayyan Eng, a Chinese American who started his filmmaking career in Beijing ,did not think “Brokeback” is as good as “The Ice Storm” an Ang Lee film from 1997.
Liu Miaomiao, a director of independent films, rationalized that Hollywood would not give the top award to “Brokeback” because of political reasons.
Sai Ren ,a film critic with CCTV6 ,a film channel ,noted that Lee’s achievement had little to do with Chinese cinema .He suggested that people watch the show just to enjoy it .
