Ang Lee @ HKU

Received the HKU Convocation Newsletter earlier this week. Read it today and I found that Ang Lee had held a public talk in HKU on 1st Oct 2009. Here is the link of the video:

Some of the quotes:



“When I have a goal in making a movie, there is a lot of curiosity.....I think curiosity is 學問學問. Learning is asking to fulfil curiosity. I think that’s a greater school.”



“My closest feeling to love is actually quite abstract. It’s a lot like Brokeback Mountain. It is something happening in Brokeback Mountain you don’t really know. You find yourself chasing the meaning of it, trying to have a picture of it. A clear picture but you can never find. The more you are confused, the more romantic, the more grand it is. That’s how I believe in love.”



“Death is something horrifying, but at the same time it’s probably the most fascinating thing in creating artistic work because life changes, there are no certain fixed values.......but death stops, movement stops changing. Somehow it has a depth of beauty in it because it’s pure.”
