Edward Yang, whose movie "Yi Yi" was picked by Rory on movie night, died on Friday June 29. He was 59 years old.
Yang was an engineer before he started making movies. According to Yahoo! News, Yang once said in an interview, "On my 30th birthday, I suddenly said to myself, 'Damn, I'm getting old!' I realized that I had to change my life. I needed to start doing something that I could enjoy and through which I could feel fulfilled."
It is very sad that he died at such a relatively young age. Yi Yi is a phenomenal movie. I also like his 4-hour long epic "A Brighter Summer Day" a lot.
