Speaking of, it will be associated with . In fact, the content of the two films is different, but they also use a sensitive subject, homosexuality. Unbiased.
Wei Tong, he has been in New York for 10 years, but he has never been married. His parents in Taiwan were very anxious and signed up for him to participate in a marriage introduction activity. But in fact, Wei Tong does not love Woman. He already has a lover in America, and they have been together for more than 5 years. And all this can't be confessed to his conservative parents. Wei Wei is Wei Tong's tenant. This girl from Shanghai is studying painting. Heihukou . She is in love with Weitong.
In order to cope with the constant pressure of her parents to force marriage. SIMON, Weitong's lover, came up with a fake marriage between Weitong and Weitong, so that Weitong can deal with his parents and let Weiwei get a green card.
However, things gradually began to deviate from the track. Wei Tong's parents came from afar, dissatisfied with the notarial wedding, met his father's old subordinates, a grand wedding, cheating on the night of the bridal chamber, Wei Wei was pregnant, Simon was angry to leave, his father After a stroke, Wei Tong confessed to his mother... Wei wanted to have an abortion, but in the end the child was left behind. It turned out that his father knew English, and he had guessed the relationship between SIMON and Wei Tong... At the
end, the part where his father congratulated SIMON on his birthday, especially Profound. Father asked SIMON not to let them know that he already knew about it. It seems that the essence of Chinese family relationship is in it: forbearance.
Among them, the scene of the wedding banquet is deeply portrayed. There is a scene of drinking, making a bridal chamber... There is a paragraph It's very interesting. The foreigners can't understand this uproar, and a person who looks like a Chinese said to them: This is the consequence of China's 5,000 years of sexual repression~ It's ridiculous.
A happy ending. But it can't be a happy ending. Maybe, the requirements for happy ending are a little high. But, in fact, I saw the real family life. The conflict between parents and children. The conflict of ideas, the environment Different, as well as the conflict of new way of life and traditional thinking. All these conflicts may occur in any ordinary Chinese family, but only in different forms of expression. In , this conflict is The son's sexual orientation is reflected. On the one hand, it is the self, on the other hand, it is traditional, respecting and abiding by the parents' ideas. When both aspects exist at the same time, or appear in the minds of the parties at the same time, then contradictions and conflicts appear. .And this is one of the things that the movie wants to express.
If you deconstruct a movie yourself, you can have many points. Just like a text, positive and negative, the main line and the sub-line. The quality of a film is whether it can be memorable, Whether there is something for you to ponder. And there are many points in . For example, in the issue of green cards of illegal immigrants in the United States, many people will choose to take money or how to get fake marriage; the issue of homosexuality is still not a problem. Accepted by the mainstream society. (When SIMON's friend called him a rabbit at the beginning, the neighbor couple's embarrassed expressions); the older generation values ​​face; the mutual respect and love between the old couple; the young girl's concern for her own destiny The attitude of mastery and daring to love and hate; the feeling of filial piety but estrangement between the child and the parent. Some things we have experienced, some things we will experience, and some things we may never experience. .
