If a gay-themed film is good-looking and moving, Ang Lee would be the top choice; but if a gay-themed film can be made into a drama, and a lot of problems are covered, some problems are raised, and some problems are solved, Besides Li An, there is no other person.
"The Wedding Banquet" is such a movie. It's good, it's a drama, it's smooth and concise; Apart from these two points, the value of that movie lies in how convincing it is to convey to the audience. Ang Lee did too. Because I was a little bored watching "Pushing Hand" before, I was afraid that "The Wedding Banquet" would continue that style, and I was also afraid that the photography itself was more attractive than the story like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". But "The Wedding Banquet" transcends these elements. The layout is as small as it is, but there is tension. Each paragraph has a corresponding emphasis, and it is scattered and ordered.
Of course, Ang Lee spared no effort to show the national quintessence of this "wedding banquet" when he portrayed the conflict between Chinese and Western cultures as always. There are so many classic lines in it, such as "those are the result of 5,000 years of sexual repression in Chinese culture", etc. The climax and turning point of the film is a quarrel at the dinner table in the morning, the appropriation of the scene in "Pushing Hand" It's amazing here, especially the response at the end. When I finally saw a table of characters whose relationship was so subtle and magical, they could sit together and laugh so naturally, I had to call Li An Master Li. This kind of story can be told in a HAPPY ENDING way, twisting together a lot of messy hemp and a few pinch, there is really no second person!
