Authentic Chinese culture

I am familiar with the name Ang Lee. I have seen his "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and heard of his award-winning "Brokeback Mountain" and the Youth Pie. Compared to his later award-winning works, my favorite is his family trilogy. Compared with the exquisiteness of the later period, the family trilogy of the early period will look a bit rough, but the humanistic atmosphere and interpretation of traditional culture that are revealed everywhere in it are delicate but sharp, hit the nail on the head, and authentic.

In this "Wedding Banquet", there are the noises you are familiar with, the depression you are familiar with, and the desire to talk you are familiar with. You will find that the development of the plot is just like flowing water, and it is reasonable and reasonable when it gets to where it should go. Although it is exaggerated and humorous, it is beyond rebuttal. This is indeed familiar to us. In that era, using such a technique and using the specific scene of a wedding banquet to interpret the conflict between the same sex and traditional culture, it was bold but true. Many of the details inside are really fascinating. Many times you can see the shadow of the family of that era. At the beginning of watching the movie, you think: "Huh? This is Chinese culture?" But after reading it, I have to sigh: "Ah, this is Chinese culture." I

have to say that the line of Ang Lee's is really wonderful. Just like this, he broke this layer of window paper without mercy. You don't want to admit it but have to admit it, it seems It seems really reasonable.

This is a very sincere film. It seems that it may not have the skill of mastering the script as a director in his later films, but it is indeed a microcosm of the original traditional culture that can best reflect the original flavor.
