Often his theme is a divided family, or a man estranged from his best instincts. Lee doesn't look for heroes or villains; he finds enough shades of courage and compromise in every heavy heart. Even Crouching Tiger is grounded in the ache of unexpressed, unattainable love. Then it explodes like a Chinese firecracker on the Fourth of July...
