A decade-long movie dream

"A Decade of Filmmaking" is director Ang Lee's first-person account of his dream-chasing journey through the first decade of his film career. It's not only a coming-of-age confession from a filmmaker who perseveres in his ideals, but also a self-dialogue exploring how to navigate both hardship and glory.
Time magazine in the United States said that Ang Lee was well-deserved to be named "the world's most influential figure in arts and entertainment."
Zhang Yimou said that Ang Lee is probably the only director in the Chinese-language film industry who can move freely between the Eastern and Western worlds.
Chen Wenxian said that Ang Lee has finally reached the top and become a director that no one in the Eastern and Western film world can ignore.
Standing at the pinnacle of glory, Ang Lee told everyone through "A Dream in the Movie World" that in his eyes, he is "a useless person":
He failed the college entrance examination twice, but unexpectedly embarked on a stage career;
After graduating from a prestigious New York university with high scores, he encountered the situation of "unemployment upon graduation";
He has been a full-time "househusband" in the United States, cooking and taking care of children for six years;
As he approached forty, he was full of talent, but could only work as a night watchman on the set, watching equipment, carrying sandbags, and doing hard labor. He was "too embarrassed to talk about his ideals," but he didn't know that his ideals were buried deep in his heart.
Ang Lee lives a very clear life. He said, "I really only know how to be a director. I'm not good at anything else."
"A Ten-Year Movie Dream" tells the story of a director's self-cultivation and a man's conquest and tenderness.
