1    Introduction
No director of modern film seems to contribute more to the debate on globalization then does Ang Lee. In the sense of blurring the distinctions between cultural identities and plumbing their interrelationships, Ang Lee’s films bring the viewers unique visual enjoyment, reveal culture differences between the East and the West.
Ang Lee was born in and grew up in the town of Chaochou in Pingtung, a southern agricultural county in Taiwan. Lee left Taiwan in 1978 and relocated to the United States, where he completed a Masters of Fine Arts in Directing at New York University in Manhattan. His directorial focus shifted back and forth between his homeland and his adopted home in his films. Almost each of Ang Lee’s films reflects his interest in the topic of culture identity and exchange in the face of increasingly rapid globalization. Three of Ang Lee’s works, The Wedding Banquet (1993) ， Eat Drink Man Woman (1994). , and Lust, Caution (2007), are particularly clear examples of this phenomenon.
