Ang Lee
Ang Lee OBS (Chinese: 李安; pinyin: Lǐ Ān; born October 23, 1954) is a Taiwanese filmmaker. His films are known for their emotional charge and exploration of repressed, hidden emotions.

Born in Pingtung County, Lee gained fame in Taiwan for the Father Knows Best trilogy, including Pushing Hands (1991), The Wedding Banquet (1993), and Eat Drink Man Woman (1994), which explored the relationships and conflicts between tradition and modernity, and between Eastern and Western cultures.

His other notable films include The Ice Storm (1997), Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), Hulk (2003), Lust, Caution (2007), Brokeback Mountain (2005), Life of Pi (2012), Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk (2016), Gemini Man (2019).
