I Feel Like All Of

When Something Possesses Me, I Go Ahead And Do It.

Making A Martial Arts Film In English To Me Is The Same As John Wayne Speaking Chinese In A Western.

You Have To Know The Rules, Otherwise You Have No Tools To Communicate To The Audience, But To Keep It Fresh You Have To Break Some. I Don't Choose Genres As The Element, But The Material Itself Is The Element, Then I'll Decide What Genre I Need. That's Just How I Work.

I Basically Made The Movie From The Crew's Suggestions. For One Scene, I Wanted Some Kids' Toys Against The Wall In Mikey's Room, To Give The Scene Texture, And We Tried A Field Hockey Stick. It Looked Really Good To Me, Until Someone Had To Say That In America, Field Hockey Is More Of A Girl's Game. Gradually I Got Tuned Into The World - That Happens On Every Movie.

Even The Favorite Reviews, The Audience Response Is The Movie Is Too Slow, Deliberately Slow. But For The Chinese Audience, The Biggest Complaint Is It Happens Too Quick. I Think The Historical Background That Build Into Our Genes Is Different. American People Has Never Been Occupied. The Deep Sadness And Sentimentality, The Cultural Background That Relates To Melodrama That We Relate To And Grow Up With, The Propaganda, I Didn't Imagine The Difference Is So Big. It's A Very Interesting Cultural Phenomenon.
