We're in such a volatile climate right now politically. I think they didn't want Assassins to not succeed due to popular opinion and politics versus on its own merits. I can respect that.
Other times you can get showy for three minutes and that's OK with certain films. But that isn't right with an Ang Lee movie you have to fit right in. You have to understand Ang respect him and be part of the team and not be in charge of it – he is in charge of it.
