Question

【題目】

Ang Lee won an Oscar Award for the Best Director for his adventure film Life of Pi at the 85th Academy Awards in Hollywood, California on February 24, 2013.

Life of Pi shows a young Indian named Pi, who finds the world he knows swept away when his family sells their zoo and sets sail for Canada with a few animals. Only Pi escapes from the storm and floats in a lifeboat with a giant Bengal tiger.　　

“I really want to thank you for believing this story and sharing this adventurous journey with me,” Lee said in his speech. The film also won three other Oscars, for the Best original music, the Best cinematography(電影藝術(shù)) and the Best visual(視覺) effects. It won more awards than Lincoln and Argo which were also among the hottest nominees.

Coming from China's Taiwan, the 64-year-old Lee won an Oscar for the Best Foreign Language Film in 2001 for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and another for the Best Director in 2006 for Brokeback Mountain. He is the only person of Asian to win the directing award and one of the rare people who won that award more than once.

In an after-ceremony interview, Lee said he believed Asian films would come to the main stage of the world sooner or later. “I was born in Asia and grew up with Chinese education. It is natural for me to put Asian thinking into Western things.” The film, which cost 120 million U.S. dollars, has earned nearly 600 million dollars worldwide. Lee said most of the earnings came from outside China. Lee said he felt warm that he won the award on the day of the Lantern Festival, a Chinese traditional festival on which families get together to solve puzzles on lanterns and eat Tang Yuan. He wished everyone a happy new year of the Snake and everybody gets lucky.
