    Ang Lee is always good at showing the minutiae of Chinese culture in the context of Western culture. The Chinese wedding banquet, which was enlarged into a comedy form, satirized the suppression of sex in Chinese culture... and China's most traditional family and family concepts were further deepened in this false marriage. Forbearance of emotions and family conflicts are finally resolved in love and understanding. Accepting everything and moving forward, this is finally a wedding...

    Watching Li Ang’s interview last night, he said, “In a society that is changing too fast, where should filial piety go. People seem to have to accept and catch up with these changes, but it’s actually very helpless and melancholy.” The family trilogy is finally watched. After all, this screenwriter is too wonderful. If "food men and women" is reconciling traditional ethics and pyrotechnics, then this film is reconciling Chinese and Western cultures, as well as traditional and modern cultures....

    As a director, Ang Lee's performance in "The Wedding Banquet" is still a bit naive. The rough details in the movie are everywhere, far less than the meticulous work after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"; but in terms of content and plot, this I feel that this is one of Ang Lee’s best films: I put a lot of effort into it, and the portrayal of cultural differences is accurate, sharp and lively. The film Lee Ang is more successful as a screenwriter than as a...

    Li Ang's soy sauce line was too overbearing, and the window paper that everyone hadn't pierced was just like this. . . Maybe it’s because the screenwriter is a foreigner, and the lines are a bit spiritual, but everything is perfect. I like Gui Yalei’s performance, Zhao Wenxuan is really a big fan of hahaha. Dad is the ultimate boss, don’t underestimate Dad! Knowing a foreign language is king~~~ A touching...
