Abstract:

 Edward Yang shows strong “author’s presence” in his films while addressing “sense and sensibility”, different from that in films like Springtime in a Small Town. His films demonstrate more of his personal conflicting “sense and sensibility”. As a typical type of intrusive writing, his works acquire the inclination to ruminate the author’s personal history, emotions, feelings and the like as well as an effect of “selfoxidation”. It is through this “wrapped slurry styled writing” that endows Yang’s films with distinctive brilliance.
Key words: Sense; sensibility; selfoxidation; ruminate; wrapped slurry styled writing
