Ang Lee, the acclaimed filmmaker known for his emotionally resonant and visually stunning movies, often explores the complexities of family dynamics in his work. One recurring theme in his films is the father figure, a character who is both revered and reviled by his children. This dichotomy is evident in many of Lee's films, such as "The Ice Storm" and "Brokeback Mountain", where the father figure is portrayed as a source of love and support, but also as a suffocating presence that the protagonist must rebel against.
