I always subconsciously feel that the ending may not be a good ending, or is it a preconceived opinion.
Seeing the ending in one breath, the five flavors are mixed, irritable and sad, and moved by the love that exists between them. However, I am neither a bloodline person like the protagonist's parents, nor a tolerant and generous lover like Simon. I am close to the heroine, but I have never been as stupid as her. She was able to get a green card and a gay marriage with a long-term crush, and even got pregnant with him.
There are too many things I don't understand: If the male protagonist's father is also gay, why should he force the male protagonist to marry and have children? Are grandchildren so important? What if a granddaughter is born? The male protagonist's mother is obviously the wronged party in the marriage, so why force the male protagonist to marry and have children? Are grandchildren so important? What if a granddaughter is born? The male protagonist is so old, an adult, a one-time boss, and a boyfriend who has been with him for five years, why can't he express his attitude to his family? Is it simply fear of parents? Or both fear of parents and fear of responsibility? The female protagonist clearly knows that what she wants is a green card and painting, why did she want to go to the male protagonist on the night of the bridal chamber, and she did not take safety measures to make herself pregnant? Everything Simon has experienced seems to me to be the point of breaking up. Why not break up and make myself compromise like this? Why do those people at the wedding force the newlyweds to kiss each other and even eat a chicken head together? Why bother with the bride and even get some men to kiss her and make her guess who the groom is? Are these so-called "ceremonies" of marriage and bridal chambers so fun? Why did no one care about the feelings of the male protagonist from beginning to end?
I haven't seen many films directed by Ang Lee, but the few I've watched left a deep impression on me, that is, the content is too rich. I can't find a single extra plot, shots or even lines. I always have a pessimistic consciousness about marriage, family, and life, but this kind of consciousness seems preconceived and naive in front of his films. No one can say that the male protagonist's parents don't love him, they must love him to the core, but their love is mixed with too much desire for control; there is too much love in the full desire for control. . The restaurant owner who is obviously an outsider but has to manage the wedding, and the guests at the wedding scene, no one is not happy for the male protagonist's wedding. But this happiness is mixed with too much expressive desire, too much sexual repression, and too much power offside. Who is taking advantage of whom, and the desire for control is taking advantage of family affection? Sexual repression exploiting happy atmosphere? People are always different. But like the thirteen incense, it is the person who is all ground and mixed together. Perhaps it cannot be said that it is too unfortunate. There are very few weddings like the one in the movie. It cannot be said that there are no weddings. There are too few; Great, at least a little bit better.
I hope that the male and female lead Simon and the three men will stop thinking like the male lead's parents and stop going their old ways.
Finally, I sigh that it is really difficult for a woman to live, and it is actually the same in the movie and outside the movie. If the protagonist becomes a lesbian and finds a straight man to marry and get pregnant, will it become another story?
