Lee describes U.S. ‘attachment’
From the Associated Press
Director Ang Lee, who won an Oscar this year for “Brokeback Mountain,” says he doesn’t need to make Hollywood films to be successful, but he appreciates the recognition of the U.S. film industry.
“To me, Hollywood is not essential, but I admit there’s an attachment. It’s like Yao Ming playing in the NBA: Only when you reach such a big league do you feel the whole world pays attention,” the Xinwen Chenbao newspaper quoted the U.S-based director as saying at the Shanghai International Film Festival.
