It's a fabulous movie that makes me watch it again and again and again. when I was still a childlike teenager, I thought Ang Lee's movies were all so boring that i fell in asleep every time. And when I grown a little up and more sensitive but still childish, I found all his films so amazing that I can't help holding tears in my eyes at that moment.
