Ang Lee, Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk
With three Academy Awards -- for Best Foreign Language Film with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and two for directing Brokeback Mountain and Life of Pi –- Ang Lee explains why he is pushing technical boundaries for Hollywood pictures with his incredibly vivid 3-D Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk which in specially equipped theaters offers moviegoers the chance to see his drama about a squad of American soldiers returning from 2006 Iraq in not just the standard 24 frames per second but 120 frames per second. So vivid it is akin to virtual reality and a truly different kind of filmgoing experience.
