And their twitching can impress everyone present, and then ask her to have a drink, and the audience can cheer for a moment.
As far as the wedding banquet itself is concerned, it does not matter whether it is poetic expression or close to the humanistic spirit. This story has the collision between China and the West, and the past serves the present. The father (Lang Xiong) in the play is an abdicated teacher, and a few remarks that "daughter-in-law can give birth and support" and "there is no failure in calligraphy" are very patriarchal. The son's marriage is a top priority for him to be deployed and directed. This dean is very charming in acting. From the beginning to the end, he makes the young and old in the play full of energy. What I admire even more is that he is slightly Chinglish. English dialogue. The old man is like him, as if his father is enduring the helplessness of daily life, waiting to fulfill the life of the child's parents. The meaning of "father" is emphasized by Ang Lee. Life is not worth showing off, but the symbol of marriage is the perfect ending of a father. The curtain call of a father should be set off by a wedding banquet, regardless of whether you are gay or not.
And mother's joy has always been joyous and colorful. She is a housewife, and her son seems to be babbling in front of her eyes. Today, she will get married and have children. She has a lot of responsibilities, taking care of her husband, admonishing her son, instructing her daughter-in-law, and even worrying about whether the small garden will be abandoned after she returns. The mother played by Gui Yalei has a lethal power that can penetrate my small universe. In 1993, she just passed the age of confusion, and the amorous feelings between her brows and eyes are in the mother's dress, which is exquisite and appropriate. If you act like earth, you will be earth, and if you are expensive, you will be expensive. She wore an old-fashioned Qi robe and a pearl necklace. After her son bluntly completed the marriage line, she burst into tears without hesitation. Many people have performed this kind of sad and joyful gesture, but the incisive tears are blunt, and the guts are too hypocritical, and she only wailed "I'm sorry, I wronged you, I was going to give you a good show." The mother-in-law's self-blame, like a magic spell, made people unable to move.
What about the daughter-in-law? Obviously, the focus of this play is not on the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, because Ang Lee said when directing the play, "The wedding banquet is a play with commercial value." To be eye-catching and open to debate, the "gay" focus is naturally ingenious. In Taiwan in 1993, even if it was civilized, it was difficult to muster the courage to speak "homosexuality" in public. In the play, the son Weitong (Zhao Wenxuan) kisses affectionately with her boyfriend Simon, the daughter-in-law Weiwei (Jin Sumei) is not to be outdone, and the passerby Jia, who is a guest star of Ang Lee, says, "This is five thousand years of sexual repression." Like a regular password, it points to a result: no matter how pragmatic life is, there are still sorrows, so you can live a good life with a little grievance.
Facing the camera, Zhao Wenxuan did it just right, whether it was understatement, helplessness, or passion. The elegance in the words first fascinated Jin Sumei, and the Liu Pan in the upright attitude dumped Zhou Xun and Chen Hong later. He is full of drama, and being an ordinary homosexual, he can also make foreigners willing to learn Chinese and cook hard. With him by his side, Simon feels warm, Weiwei feels sweet, his parents are proud, and for him, the only thing he can do is to be wronged, but he doesn't know that this wronged and perfected is inherited from his father. , because everyone wants to have a perfect home.
I hope this is the case, Weiwei's most important green card, Weitong & Simon's most cherished relationship, and the grandson that parents are looking forward to the most, can all arrive as promised in each other's little silence and grievances.
