The film is a sketch of the reality of contemporary American society. The director puts his own knowledge and understanding of American society into the film. At the grand wedding of his sister Richelle, people from different races gathered together. The large black family of the new officials in Indian State also has Asian friends in the family and local whites. At this wedding banquet, which is like a grand gathering of races, each other is in harmony and harmony, singing and dancing. The film is also the first black role played by Anne Hathaway in her acting career. Playing the role in the film that has a delicate relationship with family members and has experienced all kinds of contradictions and difficulties in life. Hathaway, who has no similarity with the protagonist's experience, can be described as a new attempt, but her interpretation did not disappoint the audience. In the film, she wore an outdated, fat plain coat, and her messy short hair was like her thoughts, always drifting away from the cheerful atmosphere around her, and her erratic eyes vividly portrayed her inner world

In "Rachel Getting Married", there are no dramatic ups and downs, but details are always used to influence the mood of the audience. A wedding banquet with mixed sorrows and joys is actually a question of modern families. It is reasonable to say that the family should be a place to heal the pain. , But for modern people who are in too many interpersonal relationships, the family used to become a gathering of polite and cold strangers, the members blindly tolerate, but lack release and frankness, until it becomes heavy. The pressures and burdens of the people, and the efforts to maintain the surface peace also disappeared with the eruption of pressure one day, leading to an irreversible tragedy. The home video-style shooting method of "Rachel Getting Married" uses details to express the characters' inner heart deeply and delicately, like a magnifying glass, reflecting the social and family problems in modern American society

Director Jonathan Demme continued his documentary approach. The images in the lens, natural and simple, always look like the audience is observing the people and things around them. The audience cannot see Demi's personal likes and dislikes. There is no sudden vision in the film, no sudden acceleration of the rhythm, and no expression of the "sky spinning" of the lens during the crash. Everything is peaceful. Demi used a very free shooting technique, almost without adjusting the focus. Reflect life in its entirety
