This film is basically a soap opera.

The director was educated in the U.S. That saved him from the rice paddies.

Saved.? Chinese-americans are more educated than wheit-americans and Taiwan is one of the richest countries in the world.

Then why did Ang Lee go to university in the U.S.? He could have learned how to use an abacus in China.

He went to the US because he wanted to learn about drama and the arts even though his father wanted him to go into science. He had already received most of his education in Taiwan but perhaps wanted to get away from his father.

Yeah, and throngs of Americans and Brits are going to university in China. This stuff is not rocket science.

Still not as black and white as you like to make it though.

Dude, Ang Lee is not directing Chinese opera.

And he'd most likely be knee deep in rice paddy mud if George Eastman hadn't invented film.

About 35 percent of China's labor force is in agriculture (compared to 2.5 percent in the U.S.).

See, not so black and white after all.

Did you bother to check context? A certain poster is arguing that Chinese are superior to "wheits". Any study of history or current statistics on education and standard of living shows that to be nonsense.

The multi award winning director Zhang Yimou worked for a few year as a farm labourer during the Cultural Revolution so there's always hope.

And it made me slightly ill. WAY too graphic! And yes,

a great movie.
